The opening of The Granny Square in Newtown was enough to entice me out this morning and we stepped into the store before 11. They didn't have the counter or the cash register set up.
We took our time to browse and eventually headed off for a drink and a bite to eat before we came back to make some purchases.

Below Right is the gorgeous light display of cotton and wool.
Of course you couldn't visit without making a purchase or two.

Whilst there I ran into Andrew (working), Miss Fee and Karen from Thursday night knitting and Miss Fee convinced me to crash her lunch date with Pru. An unexpected extension of my knitting store outing.

oh no! im planning a visit there on wednesday. i dont know how im going to escape without actually buying something!!
Did I miss the official VIP launch that we were supposed to be invited to?
It looks very impressive though. Just what I didn't need!
hmmmm, I'd better leave my wallet at home next Wednesday!! Looks great!
I didn't even know it was opening - how did I miss this? Anyway, I have no time to visit over the next week or so, so I will have to practice my (not so good) delayed gratification skills.
Love the mix of colours in your purchases, Jody
I was quite refrained but in anticipation of meeting with my madtosh dealer for lunch I think
Thanks for the great stash and lunch play date - great to catch up
xxxx
Sounds like a great day you had. Funnily enough I've just tucked into my stash of Elmore-Pisgah Peaches & Cream - are these 2 related in any way? So great to see some new stores on the scene in town, can't wait to visit when I'm there soon - and see you too!
It looks amazing!!!!
have to plan a visit =]
Jody, thanks for coming along yesterday and being one of our very first customers! (Thanks also for your patience while we sorted out the cash register bugs. Everything is running smoothly now, thank goodness.)
Yarna, we only opened the doors yesterday and we're having a 'soft opening' for the first couple of weeks, until we get the store fully merchandised. We're about 80%-90% there at this point. The official opening even is a few weeks off yet. (Date to be advised)
