I will be travelling to the area Nov. 9-10 and am wondering if someone might recommend a place to stay within driving distance of The Easton Center. I have looked online but everthing looks the same to me. I an looking for something nice, clean, and not horribly pricey. Some rooms in that area were over $300 per night.
There will be two other women with me, so a suite might be nice. I am also open to B&B (or other) suggestions, and I don't mind driving a bit. We are coming from the West. Can anyone help?
Thanks so much!

Awwwwww Frannie, I hate that we will miss you! You are right at the TOP of my "people to meet" list. I didn't hear dates for "Simple Goods" in time to plan for it. I have heard it's wonderful though! Sure wish I could do BOTH!
Cat(The Primitive Heart), Emily (Hootin Annies) & myself are travelin' to the "From Our Hands" show.
I'd sure appreciate any info you can give me on where to stay. I haven't been in that area for years. If you have ANY other suggestions of shops, must see places, places to eat, I'm sure the girlfriends would be thrilled!
I'm gonna try to get Cat to come down to Freedom Valley for your winter retreat/get away thingy. I know she'd love to see you again.
Blessings,
Rhonda
PS. LOVED your "Mary Jane visits" photos & account! AND your FUN outfit in the pictures! Thank you for taking time to share with everyone!

CAT MAHONE?????????????? is that the "Cat" you are talking about? oh lordy! i do love her dolls. our 'graveyard' angel we made at my home in maryland is absolutely one of my very most favorite dolls ever ever ever! she stands vigil proudly in my 'sewie nest' .. cat stayed up almost all night finishing her up .. AND .. speaking of CATS .. my cat leaped into her lap and took some skin as she slid off catherine's lap!!!
oh lordy! give cat a huge hug for me! xo

Rhonda, Grove City, which has a lot of places to stay, is about 5 minutes South of downtown--but it looks like the Easton Center is on or near Morse Road, which is a hubub of activity on the northeast end. I bet there are plenty of hotels there, or you could just stay with my Aunt Bernie in Grove City--she's a farmgirl, and would be glad to have ya 
Here's a list of hotels by the Chamber of Commerce...these list hotels on Morse Road. You'd just have to call or mapquest the proximity, I think

Frannie, you do tempt me...course I would need to run this by the other gals before I could switch dates. Meeting up with you would sure be a bonus to our adventure! And, I have been wanting to meet Miz Twigs forever.
Yes yes, Cat Mahone! Is there another? She saw my work in a local booth & contacted me. We knew soon as we met that we are kindred spirits! We've been hangin' together ever since. And oh my, the telephone calls! We can talk for HOURS. LOL AND we found out we are practically neighbors too. Have you SEEN her primitive miniatures? AMAZING workmanship! You'd swear you are looking at the real deal! She is a super talented lady. She has a few things on ebay right now...and take a peek at her gallery, so wonderful!

Jonni thank you so much for the info on the "other end" of town. I'm gonna run off & check out places there. Driving a bit is just fine. Aunt Bernie would probably have to lay down after our bunch visited! We can talk & laugh until dawn! We ARE girls after all!
Blessings,
Rhonda

I dunno, Rhonda, you may have to start drinking after a visit with Aunt Bernie, if you haven't already. She keeps your head spinning with yarns (stories) and tall tales. She should have written for the National Enquirer!
No problem, Columbus is my old stomping grounds--4 generations of women on Park Street,in Grove City, and I spent my summers there, taking the bus into Columbus.
Have fun!

FAYE, owner of the mag will also be there .. and ... judy wigginton (twig's mom .. who writes for the magazine too) .. i understand it is a reeeeeeeeeeeeeely gooooooooood primitive show .. with both primitive ANTIQUES .. and .. primitive crafts.
p.s. if we weren't heading to Alabama for a little vaction-ette the day after i return from the show .. i'd shorely have loved for you kids to follow me back home for a few days! xo
