We woke up and had our destinations in mind but weren't in a particular hurry. Madeline and Lorraine had Leakey's on their list. I wanted to see it but didn't intend to buy books to carry home. It is the oldest used bookstore in Scotland. It was very cool. There isn't a flat spot in there that doesn't have books on it. A very cool old building.
Madeline and Lorraine were still looking when I was finished. I had seen a 5 and dime type store around the corner. I wanted to look for magnets, so I went on a walk. I went to the store and it had nothing I was interested in. It resembled an Ace hardware type place. As I had headed to the store, I passed a shop. I told myself DO NOT STOP. So I kept walking. When I was finished and headed back to the car/book store, I kept saying don't do it, do not do it! Then the next thing I knew my feet were headed into a quilt shop! Quilt Creations in Inverness. The women could not have been nicer! She asked what I was looking for. All of a sudden the words Scottish fabrics that represent Scotland, came out of my mouth. She said OH YES! She started showing me examples. I found some I LOVED, pinks and purples. BUT, being toward the end of the season she only had 2 of the 5 fabrics of that line, and only in fat quarters. I don't love fat quarters So I kept looking. I found a complete line, only it was in a color scheme I didn't LOVE. BUT It was all there so I bought it. I bought 1 meter of the 3 fabrics. ( I have since ordered/received the other 2. I didn't think I liked them at the time, but needed them after all. So cautionary tale, buy the fabric. I have found a pattern I'm going to use it on. I'm excited to start it. BUT,
Next, headed to a different kind of castle and the beach.
Peace
