Big Pink Cupcake

The bridge over the Willimantic River in Windham, CT features four huge frog statues, 12 feet tall and weighing a ton each. Each is sitting on a spool of thread. Here are some pictures from our trip there, that I think came out pretty good. Especially since they were shot from a moving car.

Here are some long-delayed pictures from our trip to the Windham Textile and History Museum in June. We went down there for my sisters graduation and she took us on a sight-seeing tour of Willimantic, CT and the surrounding area

from the website: “The museum preserves two buildings of a mill complex formerly owned by the Willimantic Linen Company, which later became the American Thread Company. ”

There are tons of great items from the early days of textiles, including full machines and dresses

   

And other cool things
