Threads on the Road

Pleasant Street Inn, Prescott, AZ

This week my husband and I are on a road trip. I had morning coffee on the porch of the Pleasant Street Inn. Our first stay ever in a B and B was delightful. The quiet atmosphere really took us away from the harried, technical routine of daily life. It was so relaxing. I highly recommend the experience.




I packed my knitting bag full to take along with me and finished a little baby sweater and hat in between lots of fun on the trail.

On Sunday, our treat was to visit the annual Indian Art Market at the Sharlot Hall Museum Site. Sharlot Hall Museum itself is pure Old West with 9 buildings full of Arizona Territory history and artifacts. And the Art Market was delicious frosting on the cake. It was a fantastic juried show of over 80 Native American artists. Featured were both traditional and contemporary works of art, Navaho weaving, Katsina carving, silversmithing, and baskets. It was simply a beautiful show. I have a pair of turquoise and silver earrings purchased from the fine Navajo artist, Martha Jackson from Chinle, Arizona. 

 

Within walking range of the Bed and Breakfast, we naturally took a jaunt to one of my favorite yarn shops to check out the goodies. A find was this Shawl Kit of plied silk, tencel and a little bling. 

Next week the road trip moves to Sedona, Arizona for a family reunion. Perhaps a little more randomness in the next post. :-)
