What's in a name?
Last week I happened to be outside getting something from my car in the side parking lot when I heard someone pull up in front and SCREECH to a halt. I came back in and a nice couple were in looking around. The gentleman had been driving, and saw our sign, but he thought it said "Woodland Woodworks", and was excited to think he'd found a place for folks who like to do wood working. We had a laugh, and he admired the spinning wheels. His wife happens to be a knitter though, so she didn't mind the stop in the least!
Speaking of names, we've had several people read our new town as "Yarn hill" instead of YAMHILL. It would be great if we were in Yarnhill! Somebody even asked if we'd had the town's name changed just for us. Hmmm, now there's a thought!

I love both the little anecdotes. :-)
I'm definitely more excited about the idea of a Yarnhill, than a Yamhill!!
