So, it turns out that the crafting store that I mentioned in
this post is not that interesting. It has stuff for a bunch of different crafts, but not very much for any one of them, Porter Square Books has more crafting books, it was really hipsterish, and it had scrapbooking materials, which I can't stand. Oh well. At least the small supply of yarns it has means that I won't have tempting tempting yarns in my neighborhood.
Speaking of which, riv's going to teach me how to crochet! I'm really excited about this, and am looking forward to making my own silly hats.
After I finish writing this, I'm going to go to the Davis Square Farmer's Market. In addition to the tasty vegetables and fruits I expect to find there, I just discovered today that
Taza Chocolate has a whole entire booth at it. Mmm.
I'm planning to put together a garden in tubs in the backyard of the house our apartment is in. It's too late really to start from seeds (and too uncertain, since this really is sort of my first garden), but my mother thinks that some of the farmers at the farmer's market in Davis will be selling plants, since there are at the Brookline Farmer's Market, and many of the same farmers go to both of them. If that doesn't work out, I'll go to said Brookline farmer's market tomorrow, and
Allendale Farm or Mahoney's. We're thinking of growing basil and/or mint, morning glories, and maybe some other flowers. I've been watering the plants of friends of ours who live in this neighborhood while they were away which has made me really excited about having a garden of my own.
