... relax on your own, sun drenched, private deck..... Doesn't that sound divine? Those words alone hooked me never mind the gorgeous grounds and the reputation for yummy food and friendly hosts. I'm really looking forward to this B & B. As you can see, it's beautiful with a private washroom, sitting area, and deck. It's in a semi-rural area about ten minutes from the workshop.
The Snip & Stitch is owned by Kathy and her husband. They do a fabulous job of providing products and organizing workshops and seem to really know their client base. With three day workshops, lunch is provided. Apparently my allergies are not a problem. Funny...
... that's exactly what Lorrie said when she invited me for dinner tonight. Her and her husband live about twenty-five minutes from my B & B. It should be a lovely drive with fall colors. Lorrie and I have never met. We read each other's blogs. Meeting other women, who share my interests, that I never otherwise would have met, is such a wonderful benefit of the Internet and what a treat to have someone cook for me. I'm feeling spoiled.
I packed light. Yeah right - what a joke. It's true if you're talking "personal" items. There's one small suitcase of clothes and a toiletry bag. If you're talking sewing - LOL. There's the sewing machine in its case, the fabric bag, the laptop case, the knitting bag, the serger box with other tools, and the flat box with the cutting mat and table extension. And then, there's the bag of winter gear just in case and the one of gluten/dairy/corn/soy/etc free foods just so I don't starve. In other words, a whole trunk full and - honestly - I did pack light.
Talk soon - Myrna
Grateful - prayers for safe traveling and a fun holiday

That's definitely light packing in my experience. Especially when you need to add the sewing stuff to the mix. Last time I did a sewing retreat on a vacation week I used up half of the pickup truck bed for my stuff.... lol.
ReplyDeleteSome years I've needed to take along my countertop distiller and tea machine, vitamins, food for most of the week (allergies, but not gluten-intolerance) and my own sheets and pillow.... Enjoy your week and take care of yourself!
I love your "light" packing. Looks like mine for a trip especially a sewing trip. But I usually need to take my own pillows too, with a bad back, beds are such a problem.
