Mercer Garden Club Field Trip to Phipps Conservatory Orchid Show

The orchid show at the Phipps this year was beautiful. Many beautiful orchids were blooming in the Phipps Orchid room this year. The special displays for the Orchid Show were outstanding. It was nice to see the glass sculpture that has been added to the Phipps Permanent Collection.

On Saturday two car loads of Mercer Gardeners headed to the city to see the Phipps Conservatory Orchis Show. We left Mercer at 9:00 and arrived at the Phipps at 10:15 . We toured the conservatory and met back at the Phipps Cafe at noon for lunch.

Otter Creek Store

Welcome to my blog. I hope you enjoy reading about me and my world. I have been in the fiber arts business since 1980. I spin, knit, and sometimes weave. I design my own patterns and enjoy teaching and sharing my skills with others.

Our beautiful yarn shop on 139 N. Diamond Street in Mercer PA closed December 30, 2007.

Otter Creek Yarn is still a business. I am still selling off store inventory. I look forward to the day when I can officially be finished. I really like being retired and free to come and go and work in my garden.

Knit on!!
