The past two weeks have found me in the suburbs and surrounding areas of Philadelphia. In an effort to do something different I met a friend in New Hope and Lambertville. I think this is one of those "revamped" small towns that now cater to the antiquing set. It is basically a town that consists of a main street, and several smaller streets that spoke off the main one. There are lots of furniture shops, restaurants, coffee houses, and general kitsch shops. Very very cute, and very very expensive. I know I'm cheap. Yes, I admit it. I'm cheap, but I will sometimes pay for something if it's quality (not always, I like to shop on sale), but this is a recent development. DH has been working hard to get me to spend more than $50 on a pair of shoes, or pay more for the expensive phone that will last longer than a year. And I have slowly started to listen. But this stuff is expensive! Which is unfortunate, because some of the furniture they had was really cool, funky, and a little odd. Perfect for us!
But that's ok, I figure we can save up (that's my answer for everything)! In the meantime, as we were meandering the shops I noticed some hand knit items, so I casually wandered over to see how much they were, just curious.... and I was BLOWN AWAY! Yes I used all caps on purpose. I saw socks for $15 a pair! Scarves for $80 and those little knit flowers that I love to do for Zora and can churn out in an hour $12!!!!!!!!!!! People have said that I should sell my stuff, but I always thought that what I would have to price them at, no one would pay, but I guess I was wrong. SO CRAZY! I'm totally going to open a knitting boutique next year! TOTALLY!
