Pit Stop before the Grace Notes Retreat 🛑

Brenda and I took a little detour on our way to the Grace Notes Retreat at the HodgePodge Cross Stitch, in Strasburg, PA.

Colleen mentioned that Marcia would be open on Sunday after the retreat for those of us that would be able to stop by on our way home. But we decided to go on the way since we knew we probably wouldn't have enough time on Sunday.

What a lovely shop! So many lovely things to look at.

There were even some antique items for sale.

As hard as it was, I contained myself and only bought these two sweet charts. I had never seen anything by Stitches by Ethel before, so many cute patterns!

And I also got this holder I've seen others with. There is a bigger one, but I like the small one.

Our next quick stop was at the Strasburg Antique Market, just down the road from the shop.

So many precious needlepoint and cross stitch pieces. Nice to see, but sad at the same time.

And you wouldn't be in Lancaster County if you didn't see at least one Amish Buggy.

This one looks like their version of an open pick up truck!
