3 days til Fibre Fest

Here in the lower mainland area of BC we have an annual Fibre Fest. This year the event will be on Mar 7, 8. This is my first year attending (because it is also my first year of the store). I am actually a bit nervous. I don't really know why I'm nervous but I have never done anything like this before and I want to make a good impression. My mom will be there Friday afternoon and all day Saturday so that will be nice. She is really looking forward to it.

In other news I have several orders that keep getting delayed. That has been disappointing because alot of the yarn was supposed to be here for the show. I am intending on ordering everything available from Malabrigo. I have ordered the silky merino, lace, merino worsted and aquarella. The next move will be carrying all the colors. It is truly a beautiful yarn. I have also ordered more Noro. I have ordered the sock yarn, silk garden lite and silk garden.

I did however, receive the Araucania Ranco. I tell ya, that's a good deal. I have always really liked Araucania and the Ranco and Ranco Multi are a great deal.

Now, on the home front, my husband and I are actually looking at buying realestate!! Considering the prices these days, that is pretty scary. We found an affordable piece of property. It is 3 acres about 1 hour outside of Vancouver. It is affordable because it backs onto the Freeway and there is no house or buildings (just bare land). But to us - it's a little patch of heaven:) There is currently an offer with subjects that expires on Friday March 7. Our realator said it doesn't look like the subjects will be removed which means we can put our offer in. So hopefully, March 7 will be a lucky day at Fibre Fest and we might buy our first piece of land. woohoo!!!!

I'll take pictures of our booth on Friday. My daughter will be with me for a couple hours on Saturday so I am sure that she'll talk me into buying her some purple yarn - since everything is purple these days.lol
