this weekend:

a friend invited me to a neighboring town, to blue hill farms

where we met libby

a cashmere goat

and saw her having her coat sheared

her new summer wear  :)

we saw this mushroom, which is around a hundred years old. it will be used to dye fibers

we said hello to the farm residents

and took their photos

i wished i could bring this little sweetheart home, i think owen (my doggy) would approve

we saw demonstrations of sheep to shawl, i met a designer that had brought some of her pieces worked in libbys fiber

i could be happy here

afterwards we had lunch and did a little window shopping in town

 didn't we just see you two at the farm?  hee hee

ending with dessert made this a perfect day, week. this little one had strawberry gelato, her mama had honey lavender and green tea and i ordered ginger spice and apricot. did you know apricot is the most popular flavor in italy?

the first pockets have arrived (already!) and packing has begun.
