In actuality...this is the present evening view from The Net Loft doorway, looking towards the sign for the shop, so, as you can see, "ALMOST Spring" is definitely appropriate.
We had not told him yet the secret about his painting being turned into a yarn and he was not sure what was going on when we asked him to come by to let us photograph him in the “Almost Spring” cap, and so he brought us a smile when he added his own personal touch to the photo session.
We are really pleased with how this yarn knits up colorwise, as it really captures the feel of the watercolor washes in the painting, as seen in the cowl shown below. This is a complimentary pattern free with purchase of Springvale Bulky. Please note, there is a great selection of bases Sharon of Three Irish Girls dyed on for us, but there is a limited number of skeins of each base. You can check out more photos on our Flickr page. http://www.flickr.com/photos/thenetloft/
Spring, however, has definitely arrived within the walls of The Net Loft and lovely foiled chocolates and fresh Easter candy have arrived to grace your Easter baskets.
We also have hummingbirds, butterflies and pansies , and of course, an array of lovely spring ribbons to decorate and make your baskets extra special.
One of the things I used to love to do for my children at Easter was to bake shortbread molded cookies using the Brown Bag ceramic molds and sprinkle colored sugars on top and then wrap them in a crisp cellophane bag and tie with a preety ribbon. What fun I used to have making their baskets and filling them with special gifts and treasures to celebrate the Easter Holiday…
If you are feeling the need for a breath of springtime (while the snow is still melting) step into the Net Loft for a burst of color...Candles in colorful decorated jars with fresh fragrances, APril Cornell Tablecloths for your spring home décor, fragrant lotions and perfumes, new spring scarves, flowers, cards and more are here for seasonal gift giving.
