candy coated rose petals

I went on a field trip to an LYS (local yarn store) and bought some yarn. I count this as pretty eco-friendly since I’m supporting a local vendor. That’s pretty good. They took home a lot too in my contribution to Mama Earth. My group also carpooled. Yay, reducing the carbon footprint.
