Last weekend my mother came down from Virginia for her first visit since my husband and I moved to the mountains of Western North Carolina. We had a blast! We spent time combing through flea markets and thrift stores, driving along the Blue Ridge Parkway, visiting Little Switzerland, and generally exploring the area. It was so much fun to get to show her around the area!
Some of Mom's flea market finds. Marion, NC has 3 flea markets and I don't know how many thrift stores, antique stores, and consignment shops. We didn't come close to checking out them all! We did our best to fill up her van, though. My mom sells antiques - you can check out her online shop
here.
Saturday, Black Mountain Yarn Shop celebrated World Wide Knit In Public Day by welcoming everyone to come knit along the sidewalk. There were so many great projects! Plus cookies. Everything is fun with cookies, amiright?!
Mom and I are way down on the end. We had gone to some yard sales before driving up to Black Mountain, so we were a bit late to the party. The guys next to us were so much fun! And everyone walking by was very friendly.
Mom and I on the Blue Ridge Parkway. It was such a wonderful weekend. I'm working on convincing her to move to North Carolina!
I had so much fun with you. Hope to get down again soon!
