Hello dollmakers! We are taking a break from dollmaking (shhh, don't tell the dolls!) for 4 weeks in honor of the annual fall shop hop around West Michgan fabric stores. Today my eldest daughter and I made a trek into Rockford, MI to visit the Rockford shoe outlet. Wow, so many nice shoes and things there. I found a nice zip bag for shopping at an outlet price :)
Since we were there in Rockford, we decide to have a look around and WOW we found this really cool olive oil and balsamic vinegar spot. I never knew they had dark chocolate balsamic vinegar (I got a bottle of that). And so many interesting oilive oils. They do have a website and I think I will go back and do some Christmas shopping there. They had some nice gift bags with four or six bottles that I figure would be very nice for gifts. http://www.oldworldolivepress.com or click on the title of this post.
I got a couple of sampler sets (so I could try all those very delicious oils at home). There are samplers in mid sized bottles or small bottles.
Some of the very tasty combos are:
(EVOO = Extra Virgin Olive Oil, BV=Balsamic Vinegar)
Blood Orange EVOO and dark chocolate BV
Basil EVOO and Sicilian Lemon BV
Wild mushroom and Sage EVOO and 18year aged traditional BV
YUM YUM! I'm making myself a salad for din din and then I am going to take a good look at a knitting pattern I bought at the yarn shop in town. A very nice lady helped me find a nice sweater pattern that you can use up scraps to make and it shows sizing for kids and adults. And you knit it in once piece and sew one seam and it's done. Sounds like it's right up my alley. http://www.therockfordnetwork.com/rockford-mi-180-J.T.-Stitchery-and-Frame-Shop.htm
I was hoping to get into the rug hooking spot, but it looks like they are closing and moving to another location, so we didn't get in there. But oh well, sounds like a good reason for going back to Rockford!
Well, the EVOO and BV in the pantry is calling my name, so off I go to the kitchen - have some fun today (even if it isn't doll fun).
