This hat found a new owner and its almost as if it were custom made for him. We have three sizes available. Locally made. Hand woven. #madeinnb #shoplocal #wherethewildflowersgrowgallery #handwoven #supoortlocal

Wow! Shes done it again. I own every Cat Bordhi book and e-book and each time I read them, I learn something new and inspiring. I just added this new (and likely last one) to my collection. Now to find the perfect yarn... This e-book available on Ravelry, and is available through the in store purchase program as well.

We made room for all the new yarns, and also added to our clearance section (50% off, while supplies las, final sale)

Looking for locally made, unique gift ideas? Check us out. New to the shop are locally woven men's hats. These hats are styled after the traditional Irish Flat Cap. Exteriors are cut from tweed yardages, handwoven on a 45" floor loom with 100% sheeps wool, sourced from woolen mills located in the Maritimes. Linings are 100% rayon. The caps are made at home by hand and are available in three sizes: Small (22 1/4", 57cm), Medium (23", 59cm), and 23 3/4", 61cm) inner cir...cumference. $100 each. (Brad Pitt was unavailable for photo shoot, so I made do ;-) #madeinnb #shoplocal #supportlocal #handwoventextiles #wherethewildflowersgrowgallery #wheresbradpittwhenuneedhim See more

The new Fall yarns are arriving and we are moving things around to make room. We now have Sarasota (cotton/acrylic blend) in Chunky weight, brand new 100% wool Outback (also in Chunky weight), and many new colours of Estelle Worsted. The Estelle Alpaca Merino Fine has also been restocked, and new colours as well in Evolution Sock and Cascade Heritage Solid Sock. Oh, and we made a trip to Briggs and Little Monday, so that wall is now very full again :-)

The IWK NICU and Birth Unit need baby hats! Any knitters/crocheters have some spare time on their hands these days?

What a beautiful place to stay. When we were considering our retirement home, we stayed a few nights in this castle and were treated like royalty. #thisishome #NBProud #supportlocal

" Grandma how do you deal with pain?" " With your hands, dear. When you do it with your mind, the pain hardens even more." With your hands, grandma?"... " Yes, yes. Our hands are the antennas of our soul. When you move them by sewing, cooking, painting, touching the earth or sinking it into the earth, they send signals of caring to the deepest part of you and your soul calms down. This way she doesn't have to send pain anymore to show it. " Are hands really that important?" " Yes my girl. Thinking of babies: they get to know the world thanks to their touches. When you look at the hands of older people, they tell more about their lives than any other part of the body. Everything that is made by hand, so is said, is made with the heart because it really is like this: hands and heart are connected. Masseuses know this: When they touch another person's body with their hands, they create a deep connection. Thinking of lovers: When their hands touch, they love each other in the most sublime way." " My hands grandma... how long haven't I used them like that!" " Move them my girl, start creating with them and everything in you will move. The pain will not pass away. But it will be the best masterpiece. And it won't hurt anymore. Because you managed to embroider your essence." ~ Elena Barnabe

Had some quality time to peruse the new Saltwater Gifts book this afternoon and I absolutely love it. So many great gift ideas and patterns. Ive been married to a Newfie for 39 years, and even I learned a few anecdotes and stories about NL. Weve been talking about taking a trip back to the Rock, and this book may have sealed the deal. We also have restocked the first and second books in the series, Saltwater Mittens and Saltwater Classics. Open Saturday, 10-2.

Saltwater Gifts has arrived . Also restocked Saltwater Mittens and Saltwater Classics.

New yarn in the shop. Estelle Eco Paint DK 100% organic wool, And Evolution Sock, 75%wool/25%nylon. Long colour repeats with a hint of sparkle. #Estelleyarns #Wherethewildflowersgrowgallery
