It feels like just yesterday I was enjoying brunch with @kristarobertso back in 2014 at The Smith, and now, fast forward eleven years, I’ve had the delightful experience of previewing her stunning new Penny Linn Designs flagship needlepoint store in Rowayton, CT! 🩵🪡🌊 Mark your calendars, the grand opening is this weekend!
Witnessing the incredible journey of Penny Linn has been truly inspiring. Over the past few years, the business has flourished, placing Krista at the forefront of the needlepoint renaissance. While the needlepoint world has historically been perceived as somewhat traditional, Penny Linn is breaking down barriers, championing inclusivity and accessibility. They are passionately introducing this wonderful craft to a wider audience, fostering a welcoming space for everyone. The philosophy at Penny Linn is clear: there’s a place for every stitcher, and the more the merrier! This ethos is perfectly embodied in everything they do.
Whether you’re an expert stitcher or completely new to the art of needlepoint, I wholeheartedly recommend a visit to the new Penny Linn flagship store. My drive with @shihstitches from Northern NJ was absolutely worth it, and it’s easily an outing you could dedicate a whole day to! Rowayton itself is an enchanting coastal town, brimming with delightful spots to explore in the surrounding area, making it a perfect day trip destination.
My pride for Krista is immense. It’s not just about her contributions to the needlepoint community; it’s about the truly special haven she has created. The store is simply gorgeous, boasting an unbelievable selection of canvases and thread options! The vibrant energy Krista has infused into this space is palpable and truly amazing. Words can’t fully express how incredibly proud I am of her achievements!
