    Possible new weaver in Northern California

    Hi all-
    I took my mother-in-law to go shopping in this funky old mining town in Nor-Cal called Grass Valley last week. While we were there, we stopped by a shop that had a lot of woven stuff that looked fantastic and upon further inquiry, found out that the hubby / wife team that owned the shop have a proper weaving machine in the back and she "Says" that they can produce tartan as long as the have the proper counts. I'm going to give them a test run in the future, but if anyone wants to give them a shot in the mean while, I'm giving their info for any interested. Might be a good source, here you go-

    If you think GV is old and funky now, should have seen it when I first did -- late 1960s, when my parents and aunt/uncle bought "retirement" property out on Greenhorn Road. That's before the freeway went through. . . when they did put the freeway through, my cousin picked up all sorts of wonderful debris from the excavation sites. (She was a cute blonde and could talk her way into anywhere. . .) She and her husband still live on half that property.

    Good luck with the weaving trial, always nice to support the local talent!

    We used to buy old mine cars and other "Antiques" for the yard out there.
