FDC is a 'needle lady'. No, that doesn't mean she likes to be annoying (though she does...she is my…read moresister after all!), it means she loves doing needlepoint. It's her principal form of relaxation. I don't needlepoint, however I have always enjoyed strolling around shops with her looking at all the beautiful patterns and finished works. She swears though that I have an 'eye' for a good pattern, which I think is just flattery because otherwise why would I go? No matter. So it's no surprise that on our beautiful spring Hooky Day that we would go by a needlepoint shop. Scrim Discovery is tucked away on a side street off the main 'drag' of Ocean City - 9th Street AKA where you come in off the main bridge to the island. You enter through a lovely awning covered porch of a mixed retail/commercial building - they share their building with a plumbing business. Inside there are needlepoint patterns all over, some even on the ceiling. They're more or less grouped by theme, with an area decorated like Christmas, beach themes, some other patterns, sports, etc. They have a framing area and a section devoted to threads and needles. The store is clean and bright, and there are some comfy chairs for people to sit and do their work in if they like too. The owner is a woman who clearly understands and loves needlepoint, so much so that she told us that this doesn't even feel like a job to her, at the end of the day she almost doesn't want to leave. It shows in the way she's curated and merchandised her store and the service she provides. FDC chose some beautiful hand painted designs to work on, and we were sent off with good wishes and smiles. The prices are in-line with what she expects to pay for hand painted quality patterns. I'm certain we will be back.

We quickly picked about 13 pounds of blueberries. They're tasty and we're enjoying blueberry pancakes and have plans for many more treats.
