Trunk Show and Fiber Fiesta

This past week was both the annual Kathy Kirchner trunk show hosted by the West Michigan Lace Group and the Michigan Fiber Fiesta.  Last year, I remembered about the trunk show the day after the show (even though I'd been telling Dan about it the whole week before!) and I didn't know about the Fiber Fiesta until after it took place. So I wanted to be sure to get to both ☺ I ended up being the lucky recipient of the door prize of a $25 gift certificate to Kathy Kirchner's store/show, so I got more than I'd planned!



My treasures from the trunk show! 
Venus thread in sizes #40 and #80, another shuttle, and more shuttle bobbins.




My purchases from the Fiber Fiesta.  
Rectangle looms that I've been wanting and some Coopworth roving (white) and merino roving (purple). 
Unfortunately, I can't find my drop spindle so I can finally teach myself to do it.



My mom and dad were watching my sister's 3 kids so we met them at the Fiesta and the kids liked looking at the fiber animals.

I took the picture right after Andy took his hand away!



Another picture of after Andy finished petting the animal!
