The Joyful Cottage
September 1st, 2008. Filed under: Sewing on Saturday.Come along with me to The Joyful Cottage. I tried to take you there Saturday, but managed to get lost on the way. We’re going to visit with Ginny and her daughter, Noelle. While we’re there we can look at all the sewing goodies, feel the beautiful fabric, check out the sample garments, and just enjoy a good visit with Ginny. Maybe we can ask her to help us with an heirloom sewing technique that has us bewildered. And maybe we will just sit and chat with Ginny in her special cottage.
Go to Ginny’s site and look over The Joyful Cottage and Joyfully Modest. While you’re there you can read a little background about how she became a shopkeeper and later acquired Joyfully Modest. I feel like Ginny is a special friend even though we’ve not yet met in person. I know Ginny through the Martha Pullen Fan Club where we accompanied her on her journey to convert a dusty little building that was being used for storage. We were with her as she and Noelle cleaned and scrubbed, painted and dreamed that building into The Joyful Cottage.
Any time you’re going to be visiting Kentucky, give Ginny a call and go visit the “real cottage.” I know you will love both the shop and the shop owner. She’s a lovely lady.
