[Nfb-krafters-korner] Question about knitting needles and flying

Sat Feb 18 14:55:39 UTC 2012

well, I do have a large tote bag that I take along in my carry on bag - so I 
can fill it up and bring lots of PR coffee home with me! Want to try fitting 
into that tote?

I used to buy a lot of my gemstones there in OSJ, but the store is no longer 
there. I bought wonderful things I never could find anywhere else - I was so 
sad last year when I arrived and my store was gone. There is one other store 
that is my favorite there - I buy lots of incense, skirts, and tops there at 
the store I like so much. I love the colors of PR and my house is painted in 
those colors inside and outside. Lots of COLOR -
