I had another VISITOR stop by my neck of the woods this week.
This time it was Cindy from "SEW CINDY".
I got a call on Monday and she said that she and her hubby were just heading into our area. They had been on a road trip to the "Sister's Outdoor Quilt Show" in Sisters, Oregon.
LUCKY GIRL!!!
Cindy has got to be one of the SWEETEST people I know! I just love this girl and have had the best time getting to know her through this GREAT WORLD of blogging.
I decided to take her to one of my most favorite
hangouts near my home. It was...
the OLDEST family owned business in Utah.
Well... you say... but...
DO THEY HAVE FABRIC?
Yes... they DO... and LOTS more!
Are you starting to see you see WHY this
is my "FAVORITE" hangout?
Just LOOK at all of the beautiful things
that you can FIND here.
Some of my favorites have always been the
red dishes and BETTY BOOP items...
not to mention the ever changing
cute dishes and teapots
that you find located all over the store.
You'll also find things like these
beautiful tea towels...
linens... and womens white gloves.
(Be sure and DON'T tell your mother-in-laws. LOL!)
I LOVE the little lace doilies
and the ADORABLE baby clothes.
CHECK out these darling sock monkeys!
Aren't they to DIE for!
This Birthday Quilt was their Shop Hop quilt...
designed by some of the gals at the store.
Now for the BEST part...
the quilts and fabric!
This was CINDY'S favorite quilt~
Cute bags are hanging everywhere!
My favorite is this CIVIL WAR wall of fabric!
I adore the new Oil Cloth that they just got in.
Think of all of the POSSIBILITIES!
Look at all the GREAT thread...
especially the YLI varigated thread!
All in all...
I think that Cindy had a GOOD time.
Here she is shown with two of my
"DEAREST FRIENDS" on earth...
the store owners... Nan and Betty who are sisters.
Thanks to Scott... Cindy's DH... for
letting her come and share some time with me.
MOST OF ALL...
Thanks to Cindy for caring enough to call me and make my day... not only by coming to meet me but for the
"WONDERFUL GIFT"
that she left with me!
I must say... after meeting Cindy...
I think her BLOG name should be....
"SEW SWEET CINDY"!
Well... I must go! I am running off for the day...
BUT...
I will be back with the story of
Broadbents later this week!
Also coming up...
Kennel Girls!
See Ya Soon GIRLERS!

What a beautiful store!
Now, did one of those lovely teacups and saucers come home with you. I would want to move in and live in the shop it looks so good. Glad you got to meet up with one of your blogging friends and had fun.
Love Shirley.
How wonderful to meet blogging friends. I can sure see why that is your favorite store. WOW!!
I haven't met Cindy but must agree she is wonderful from having gotten to know her through blogging and exchanges. I'm envious.
Isn't is wonderful to meet our blogging friends in person. How fun to meet Cindy and to get to know her a little better.
Fun friends, great quilt store--what more do we need?

What fun....I have a dream of someday hubby and I doing a month-long drive out to some of the western states and meeting some of my blogging friends along the way (and seeing some of those many great quilt shops I keep reading about on the blogs)!!!
What fun you and Cindy had. Thanks for taking time to share insights. Just wish I could have been there to have fun with you ladies. Delightful time!

I was lucky enough to meet Cindy on Saturday and she is just as sweet as you said! :-) I so enjoyed our lunch together! And what a cool shop! I'm sure Cindy had a blast with you! Thanks for the photo's! :-)
Wow!!! What fun! And that store is gorgeous!
That looks like an amazing shop!!!!
How fun to spend some time with a fellow quilting blogger.
When you live in the quilt mecca you get tons of visits. I think I already told you that. Or Lori. Or Nanette. LOL! Looks like you had a good time -- Broadbents is really fun!
It is so fun meeting blogging friends....and it sounds like you had an awesome time with Cindy...she is on my blog list .
Love that store and so glad you went into detail...I want to come.
One of these days I too will make it to the US, there is so much I want to see, you have some wonderful shops.
Sounds like you had a great day.
cheers
Christine
I think Broadbents should be a vacation destination--you could give tours! How wonderful for blog friends to meet.
What a great time you two had! The store is out of this world!

It was such a treat to meet you, Rae Ann. And what a great hostess- taking me to a Mercantile that was totally my "cup of tea". I highly suggest this lovely shop to others.
Thank you, Rae Ann, for taking time out of your day to meet me (us). You're as sweet as your blog.
Hugs and blessings.
That store looks amazing!!!!!! What a nice visit the two of you must of had!!!!
What a great time you must have had together. Isn't it amazing that when you meet a blogging friend face to face for the first time, it is like you have known them forever! You have a wonderful hangout in that shop. You would not have to travel anywhere else as it has so much variety. Loved all the quilt pics too, especially that applique one - stunning.
Rae Ann, it looks like you had a wonderful time with sew Cindy shopping. The pictures of Broadbents' inventory has me wishing I was closer.
They don't by any chance have an online store, do they?
Happy Quilting,
Heather
So jealous, Rae Ann! I would LOVE to meet and shop with Miss Cindy Lou Who Is An Awesome Blogger!! Looks like you two had a great visit and a fun shoopping day! Polly
What an absolutely incredible day...what a great store...oh I love Cindy's favorite quilt and the one right above it...LOVE 'em!
How fun!
I've heard about Broadbents for years but have never been there - where is it? Provo? Ogden? I hoping to come to SLC late August so I'll have to get myself to Broadbents because I want what they have! xo, Nan
