I'm just back from St. Augustine, and there is a lovely little shop down there called Marilyn's Needlecraft in a little strip mall on the A1A south. She has a nice selection of patterns, beads and hand-dyed fabric, and she also does mail-order. I and my Sis-IL had great fun there.
And now I'm back to winter. Gillian, how can you possibly find it too warm?!?!

Thanks Louisa:
I'll have to save your message for when we go to Daytona next year. I always get up to St. A at least once each time. There used to be a great shop called (IIRC) 'Sisters' on A1A in St. A., but it closed.

How far south of St. Augustine is it? I try and get down to south Fla every other year and we usually stop in St Augustine on the way down. We stay at the same hotel which is right on the Intercoastal across from the marina. When we leave there we usuall make our way fairly quickly over to 95 but if there is an LNS that is not too far out of the way I might be able to talk DH into a slight detour next time.

The address of the shop is 4102 A1A South, and it's just at the town line between St. Augustine and St. Augustine Beach. If the marina you're talking about is the one near the bridge with the lions, then it's about a ten minute drive. She's open Wednesday to Friday from
1-5, and Saturday from 9:30-1:00. When will you be going next?Louisa
We might be heading down there shortly before Christmas but have not made any definate plans yet. Yes the marina I was referring to is the one near the Bridge of the Lions. I love that bridge and picked up a print of a watercolor of that bridge on a stormy day. We found the print in one of those little galleries that are so common there. I will have to make a note in my travel book with the name and adress of the LNS so that I will be sure and stop there Thanks.
