Cotswolds Wool

We recently took a trip to Oxford (more on that later), which is just outside of the Cotswolds region of England. We LOVE the Cotswolds for their quaint towns and fantastic churches!

Since in the Middle Ages the wool trade made the Cotswolds prosperous, we figured that "Wool from the Cotswolds" might be a good item to add to our list. If there ever was a place to purchase "wool" it might be the Cotswolds, right? Wrong. It turns out that people look at you like you're from the lunny bin if you ask for just wool. Not many people want a chunk of wool. Go figure.

But alas, we found a solution! A wool duster! Crazy, I know... but yes we bought a wool duster for our treasure hunt list. It makes me laugh in a way that's similar to when we used up our last remaining 7 EURO on a cowbell instead of food. A duster? Ok. Whatever makes us happy, right?

Amd this duster did make us happy. As soon as we got home, I got to work turning our new "cotswold wool" into a Gniffer Gnome. I think he turned out pretty darn cute, don't you?
