Tart Retreat in 2024

This post is solely about the retreat I am planning for May next year. It is only open to newsletter subscribers so if you are a blog subscriber only then pop over to the website home page and sign up for newsletters to be eligible.

I am repeating here the content sent as a recent newsletter, and there is a copy of the application form below (retreat-may-2024.docx) to download and complete, if you would like to participate.  It sets out the cost per attendee and the payment schedule. 

I may not be able to respond to individual enquiries between now and 20th September when applications close. I don't want it to be based on a 'first come first served' basis as not everyone has the access or inclination to be online every day. So all applications will be considered together, regardless of date received. 

If you are unable to save and complete the application form online, please print it off, fill it in and send me a photograph or scan of it. I cannot consider applications in any other style.

In the event that you need to cancel, fees will not be refundable unless I am able to find a suitable new participant to take your place.

OK, that's the serious stuff out of the way. I hope you love the idea of a few days' gentle stitching in lovely surroundings in early May and would like to join me at the farmhouse!

Wednesday Windowsill
A quick search between showers for any flowers, however tiny. Mostly I found weeds which have multiplied in the rain.

A wee bonus coffee with a friend this morning. Sunshine, stitching, chat and  scone warm from the oven = a rest cure

Statement lichens on an estate boundary wall a few miles from home. Bruce unmoved by my interest in these yellow dots this morning.

A flock of Tinbird kits restocked the shelves today. Pocket sized tins, with everything you need for a wee birdie stitchery on the move. 
Find them and other little tin projects on the  shelves in the Tart’s store.
