We found this little coffee shop and enjoyed green tea and fresh, out of the oven, blueberry and morning glory muffins. YumYum!!!! The morning was nice and cool so we sat on the porch with the cat.
We left there and went back to downtown Fredericksburg to check out the stores that we missed on Saturday. We visited a shop called "Dream On" that had old fashioned embroidery patterns on tea towels and pillow shams. Of course, we both bought a pattern or two. We walked around for another couple of hours and decided to get some lunch before checking in for rug camp. We ate at "Wheeler's Restaurant" which claimed to have the best burger in town. But we did not have a burger. I had the German plate..bratwurst, German potato salad, sauerkraut, and red cabbage. Ginger had homemade chicken and dumplings with a huge slice of cornbread. It was all good and we left feeling very full.

Well, needless to say, this class is going to be the most fun ever!!!! Frank is a very interesting person and has so much enthusiasm for teaching. His rugs are awesome and after listening to him tell us about what we were going to do and learn, Ginger and I were ready to start right then.
Someone is going to win this painting at the end of class |

Love that Frank! He does have a lot of enthusiasm... Enjoy your time, and I hope one of you win that picture!! The town looks so nice out of the window where you ate.
ReplyDeleteLooks like fun - Is that Frank from Trading Spaces? I bet he is a funny guy. Can't wait to see more pics! SUE
