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.

Quality Mother Daughter Time, Danville, Kentucky

Darling Daughter and I had a Mother Daughter week.  We rented an Airbnb in Danville, Kentucky (part of the Bourbon Trail area).  We really had fun picking out our house and were very pleased with it.  I would love to have known how old the house was, but look at some of the details...the flooring, the woodworking throughout.  We did lots of knitting here in the living room.

The furnishings were all antiques which added to the feel of the place.

The kitchen was well appointed, giving us the ability to have fun cooking together.  We had selected a handful of new recipes to try and that added to the fun.

Even the bathroom had the antique feel.

Two nice sized bedrooms with comfortable queen beds.  This was my room.

This was my Darling Daughters Room.

Night one

Night 2 or 3, can't remember which.

This was nice and refreshing on a hot day.

Don't know which night this was either, lol.  

Our last night.  I seem to be missing a few pictures.  Darn

Danville is a nice small town with a pretty university, lots of history, and right on the Bourbon Trail.  Check it out.  It also has a nice selection of Airbnb of varying sizes to accommodate different sized groups.
