the little loomhouse aka a fiber lovers paradise in the woods

So I didn’t make it to the county fair 🙁  too much to see and not enough time!  I have a good excuse, I promise.  I found a little piece of paradise and I’m so very glad to have gotten to spend some time there today.  It’s called the Little Loomhouse.  A small village of 3 historical cabins operated by volunteer women who wish to pass on their love for fiber arts.  It is a magical little piece of historical land.  Every cabin, jam packed with the most amazing treasures.  Looms, spinning wheels, wool, spindles, oh you name it and its there.  I have never seen a place with so many of the above, most of which are vintage or antique and have been donated by many people over the years and the best part is most of it is for sale.  Magical I tell ya.

I drove up this morning and got out of the car with Matthew.  Feeling a bit small among the cabins perched atop some steep hills, I called the office on my cell phone, Stephanie answered.  Out came a beautiful woman (Stephanie) and she spent about 2 hours with me just showing me around.  A kindred spirit, we talked and laughed and met the other women who volunteer at the Little Loomhouse.  Oh what a great time.  If you are ever in the Louisville area, you should go and visit.  Take your restraint or bring a big van to cart home your treasures in!!

I hope to visit again with Stephanie and the wonderful women of the Loomhouse very, very soon!

oh and I was very drawn to this picture.  Isn’t this woman beautiful???  Well, she is still here and still sharing her love of fiber and I have it on good word that she is still just as beautiful.  I hope to meet her on my next visit.
