Another Awesome Adventure

As we were driving to a meeting of the Quilters' Connection Guild in Watertown on Thursday evening, my friend Edith mentioned that she intended to visit the Sudbury Art Association Holiday Market the next day. I volunteered to ride shotgun and our friend Laurel also joined us. We left at 9:30 and an hour later we arrived at the market which had two floors of lovely crafts. I purchased a warm pair of mittens, a box of cards, and a small ceramic tree under which you could place a battery operated tea light. So much for buying gifts for others; these items were all for me!

Next, we stopped at The Wayland Depot which had a small selection of gifts. I couldn't resist this handmade in England cute little coin purse. The tag read, Stitched by the Sea . . . (with a nice cup of tea!)

We also stopped in Marlborough at Wayside Sewing which though it appeared quite small on the outside had quite a bit of wonderful fabric. I would definitely visit this quilt shop again. It is in the same block of stores as the Wayside Country Store.

We worked up quite an appetite doing all of that shopping, so we headed to Longfellow's Wayside Inn Restaurant in  Sudbury. Although I had often photographed in that area, I had never eaten at this restaurant and neither had Laurel or Edith. It was wonderful, and we all would highly recommend this special place. The lunch prices were reasonable, the food was delicious, and our waitress was delightful. 

According to the Inn's website,

"Longfellow's Wayside Inn is the oldest operating inn in the United States offering

 comfort and hospitality to travelers along the Boston Post Road since 1716."

The barn across the street from the inn was open . . . and yes, that meant a little more shopping!!! We each managed to find another item or two. 

It was another totally, awesome adventure. :-)
