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?!?!
