(sing to the chorus melody of My Favorite Things)
When the pipes leak,
When the bones creak,
When the knees go bad,
I simply remember my favorite things,
And then I don't feel so bad.
Sadly, after a 1997 botched operation to remove a polyp on her vocal chords, Ms. Andrews lost her ability to sing, so she wouldn't have been able to sing this when she turned 69 in 2004.
Anyhow, here are a few of MY favorite things.
The very fragrant rose Sterling Silver.
Peony Raspberry Sorbet
New stash from BSG - about 2# of pin drafted roving from Dawn's Custom Carding in Roy, WA - it is the teal/sea foam green mohair blended with grey wool - wait til you see how that spins up!
Two packages of jewel toned mohair locks - one in the water colors to match the hank of brilliantly dyed Bluefaced Leicester top and the other in reds, browns & golds to blend with some cream colored shetland to make a scarf for a friend.
Plus another basket. Now that's favorite things!

Wow! You got some real treasures at BSG!
Can't wait to see what you do with them...
Those are some wonderful favorite things! I love flowers and you have such nice ones over there. We are still trying!
Oh how I hate leaky pipes!
Beautiful pink flowers, and I wish we had smell-o-vision so you could share the Sterling Silver fragrance.

Funny - Sterling Silver is also my favorite of all the roses. I had one in town but only have a Baby Doll rose out here. Not a whole lot of yarding going on. BSG came the weekend of our retirement and retirement party, but we hope to make it next year.
You scored at BSG! Have fun playing with your new fiber!
It looks like you found some goodies at BSG! It was so nice to meet you in person. Sorry we were so busy I couldn't talk to you more!
Gorgeous peony, my goodness!
Who doesn't love that song?
