This is my friend LINDA.  She has a wonderful little store that is stuffed full of spinning and knitting supplies.  It is located at the Cottonwood Store in Enterprise.  Stop by and see her for supplies before you come out to the farm.  Look her up on the Internet....www.rewespinning.com


WE WILL ALSO BE HAVING AN EXCHANGE TABLE FOR THOSE INTERESTED, PLEASE BRING 3 ITEMS TO PLACE ON THE TABLE.    What is an exchange table?  Bring NICE items that are related to spinning or knitting or just fun girly stuff----books, bath salts etc.  Those who bring items will have their names placed in a bowl and then names are drawn out and the person drawn is allowed to pick something from the table.  This is a lot of fun.  My spinning guild does it up north and everyone really enjoys it.




PLEASE R.S.V.P.
just let me know at market
 

DON'T FORGET YOUR CAMP CHAIRS, SUNSCREEN, HATS, JACKETS

    1. Thanks, the farm is located North of Enterprise in the Escalante Valley. Sandy has a great little shop, you need to drive by her house there on the main street in town, her yard is a work of ART. Keep traveling north and stop in at the farm for a visit.
