Dancing with colors at AVOCA




The entry of the mill... 




These atmosphere made my heart jump... like paradise...






Handweaving...



Whom will this blanket warm next winter?



Machine weaving...

I wanted to take this cupboard home...

and this one as well...



Lovely details...

That's what the mill looks like inside. 
A feast of colors - the atmosphere being very informal and despite  the noise of the machines calm.
I felt so very happy here - I could have stayed forever.

Good luck, I was allowed to take pics and I am thrilled to share them with you.

Cheerful Monday everyone and come back tomorrow for part III!

  11. Wow I thought that the outside was lovely. The inside is stunning so colourful. How wonderful they let you take the photos to share with us. Did you end up buying anything? I don't think I would have been able to resist.
