porch time at Barb’s

Driftless Area Fibre Faire
This was a fiber fair unlike others that I have done, in that it was a smaller show and one I was trying sight unseen. It seemed pretty likely that a fair taking place in the scenic Shag Rag Alley of Mineral Point, WI, would be a pretty safe bet.I am so happy that I [...]
