The Gathering Place: Northwood, IA

If you're a crafty person and like to knit or crochet, then you're going to love the Gathering Place in Northwood. Even if you don't know how to knit, but love those kind of items. You will be in luck there too, because they have finished products for sale that will make you melt.
I took notice of the new shop last fall when Pat Deen opened the business. She has been busy since, adding inventory and creating new opportunities daily.
When you walk in the store, you're immediately welcomed and asked if you'd like a mug of fresh coffee. Feel free to browse the shelves or just sit and chat. Pat and her staff are all amazingly friendly and Pat has the sweetest Southern accent. You could just listen to her talk all day long.
I had the courage to ask Pat if she'd like a couple of my images to display when I noticed she was promoting little knit hats for babies in her window. She was thrilled and said "Heck, yes!" That's what I love about her. She's all about helping fellow business owners in the community.
If we could all work together more often... the world would be a much less stressful place! :)
Enjoy these pictures of the display and some of the items at The Gathering Place.
