Yesterday was this spring's version of the Walker Homestead<\/a> Antique Show in Brookfield, Massachusetts. It's only a few miles from my home but, believe it or not, this was my first visit! Oh, boy! What a nice show.<\/p>\n

I had pre-arranged with Pied Potter Hamelin<\/a>, who was vending there, to pick up a custom order he'd made for me. It is a yarn holder which was fashioned after an antique redware string holder in his collection.
