OUTING THREE:
Haus Tirol - Williamsburg, VA
SM has mentioned her LNS a time or two (or three ::wink::) so of course we had to make a trip there.
This is the Vienna Chatelaine, designed by Martina Weber-Rosenberg.
Can you believe a stitcher gave this to the shop owner?
It's gorgeous! (and HUGE)
Neither SM or I left the shop empty handed.
I picked up some fabric to finish my Monthly SAL
and a few charts.
I thought this was absolutely adorable!
Even comes with a little scissors charm.
If I had only seen the chart, I probably wouldn't have gotten this.
There was a model stitched up and it was absolutely beautiful with
the charms and beads on it.
I've seen this one stitched up on FB quite a bit.
Since I have an affinity for Patriotic designs,
I had to get it. ::big grin::
After shopping, SM took me to a Japanese/Chinese restaurant. The food was soooo GOOD! She ordered a bento box lunch which contained a lot of food. I ordered a Seafood Delight that came in a taco shell-like bowl. It was so much better than the SD I get in Illinois. I ended up taking my leftovers back to the house to eat later.
Stay tuned for Part 4 of my Glorious Getaway...

These photos turned out phenomenal! I am sure Lydia would love to see these...........I still cannot get over the Chatelaine that a customer stitched just for her...........what a wonderful gift.
Love,

Always nice to get away from home, Meari. I so enjoyed my week at Barkley Lake a few weeks ago. Glad you had a good time and good to have you back.

Of course jealousy rears its ugly head when other go to an LNS. ;-) It looks like a wonderful place. And such beautiful projects. Lucky lady you!
Woo hoo! I love visiting needlework shops that are NOT local.
Looks like you had a fantastic break. Good to get away from family issues for a few days. I love the LNS you visited. I just wish there were shops like this in the UK. It's getting harder to find a good shop here. Vienna is my favourite Austrian city - I wish someone would give me the Chatelaine already stitched!
Wohoo visiting with friends and stash what's better than that haha.
Just for this it's already a successful trip, great haul:) good thing you didnt buy everything, lol.
Meari,
I loved reading about your vacation. Sounds like you had a wonderful relaxing time. And, you feel refreshed when you return home. I felt that way after my recent trip to Charleston.
Wow, there were a lot of stitched samples in that shop. I haven't been to a c/s shop in years. It really makes such a difference to see the piece completed. I love the patterns you chose. I want to do the LHN one myself.
I'm glad you had a fun time!
