Mother Daughter Travels and Yarn

Darling Daughter and I almost always start our week together with a massage (and no pictures for sure), and a mani-pedi.  In the previous post you can see the fun we had with trying new recipes and our really lovely Airbnb.

In between tasting bourbons, we sought out a favorite thing for both of us...a yarn shop.

Look how cute the shop is.  Was in a small little house in a residential neighborhood, painted  pink and green.

ReBelle (click for their webpageJ)
Located at 225 Rosemont Garden, Lexington, KY  40503  859-389-9750.  They are closed on Mondays.  Tuesday - Friday  open 11 am to 5 pm, Sat 10-4, and Sunday 12-4.  They are the ONLY yarn shop around the area.  It's about an hour from our Airbnb in Danville, Kentucky to the yarn shop; and well worth the drive.  

437 yards of wonderful Heritage Silk (the pink/rose), and 435 yards of hand dyed self striping variegated yarn jumped into my hand and a lovely handmade wooden shawl pin.

And 420 yards of Craft The Park (Grand Portage National Monument colorway).  The cards flip side is like a bingo game where you can fill in your park yarn purchases.  I haven't been to Grand Portage, choose it for colors.
As well as things you've done while on vacation connected to being outside and or knitting.  These were my purchases, didn't get pictures of Darling Daughters purchases; but they were far greater than mine.  To be fair,  my stash is much larger than hers so she was stocking up a bit.  We love buying yarn while we travel as souvenirs.  AND, each of us have lost our favorite yarn shops at home.

Yes we were in Bourbon Trail Country; but there are other things to do as well; besides you can't drink Bourbon all day long.   Next post will be about Bourbon and one of the distilleries we toured, stay tuned.

  2. I have never had a professional mani or pedi! We have a trip to Kentucky later this summer. We are not bourbon drinkers, so will be skipping the trail.

    1. You should treat yourself to a professional mani and pedi. It just feels good. I hope you have a good time even without drinking the bourbon.

  3. I used to get pedicures. But now I prefer massage, head to toe!
