How I Spent My Summer Vacation

Now that school's out and folks are able to take their vacations with their families, I am starting to see reports on visits to our favorite shops.  Sheena has taken lots of wonderful photographs of the inside of Ruth Schmuff's shop which is called Bedecked and Beaddazzled and lies in the Baltimore suburbs.

Ruth herself reports on the Brenda Hart class that just happened in this very spot.  I wish like everything I'd been there!

Tisha has been over to visit with Quail Run in Scottsdale. She has taken lots of photos and also describes the shop for those of us who are as likely to get to Arizona sometime soon as we are to visit the moon. Don't forget to double click the photos.  I don't want you to miss the wall of Southwestern themed canvases!

Here is Quail Run's shop website which has been revamped recently.

Tisha then continued on and visited BeStitched, which is a brand new Scottsdale shop.  How lucky folks are to have two shops in one place!

Here is BeStitched's website as well as a link to their blog, which is great fun to read.

Cheryl has been visiting The Playful Needle in Portland, Oregon.  There's a link to the shop's website in the short article, so I won't repeat it here.

So where did you go on summer vacation?  If you went to the grocery store/drug store/post office like me, I am going to burst into tears!
