Esther's Place — Local services in Big Rock Township

I just had one of the most pleasant shopping experiences ever! I am a novice knitter and remembered years past seeing a fiber artist at a Farmer's Market. Easter's Place, that's it! I Googled the address and stopped in not really knowing what to expect. The store is in a charming old home that is warm and inviting before you even open the door! The store is chock full of hand made art as well as kits and numerous do it your self books. Every inch of the store just invites you to want to learn everything you can about fiber art and make one of everything! The owners mother Donna was one of the nicest most interesting women I have met in a long time! She offered me a cup of tea and we sat while she showed me how to make a fiber "pumpkin". I could have stayed all day! I walked away with some wonderful yarns and a new friend! Also, it was a relief to know that the sheep and all the animals that are used in the harvesting of these fibers are loved and well taken care of. SHOP LOCAL! I plan to go back and get a one on one lesson in fiber art making for $20. I think that's a steal! ...
