The Ledbetters, aren’t they beautiful with the antique button inlay?  They spin as beautifully as the look.  And from sweet Carole, my first Greensleeves, in the most amazing spaulted maple I have ever seen.

While I stood at the Carolina Homespun booth, test spinning spindle after spindle, Marcy handed out this advice: Buy both, spindles cost less than a wheel.  True.  She’s good, and I’m easy.

    What great advice;-) I’ve seen pictures of many fabulous spindles from the Festival. Your two are very special.

    Such sage advice from Marcy 🙂 So if 5 wheels makes one a wheel ho, how many spindles does one have to have to be a spindle slut? I’d love to see how many you’ve amassed! Seriously those spindles are gorgeous!

    Wowee Zowee! Beautiful spindles. Yes, Greensleeves have the most beautiful woods. I have several that I bought just because I couldn’t decide between this wood grain and that wood grain. But those button tops are so cute.

    Truly unique and beautiful. Marcy speaks truth, but is a fearfully effective enabler.

    You have such good taste! I remember admiring the Ledbetters. I really like both the ones you chose.
    And the Greensleeves… well. You can’t go wrong!

    heee hee. By the time I get all of the spindles I want, I could’ve had a good wheel. But I wouldn’t trade them in for anything!
