I went to the first one and it was a great experience. Did a lot of lace and also was very relaxing. I usually have to do everything in a budget and this was much more affordable for me to attend. The Inn is beautiful and comfortable. I hated to leave. I highly recommend this retreat!! You will love it. Wish I could go !! bummer Faye Drumore, Pa where we are having unseasonably warm and wet weather. Would rather it be beautiful white snow instead of the slippery mud in my driveway.. ________________________________ From: Carolyn M Salafia <[email protected]> To: Clive & Betty Rice <[email protected]> Cc: [email protected] Sent: Thursday, February 16, 2012 7:21 AM Subject: Re: [lace] Lace retreat in Virginia Thanks to Nancy Neff I'm drooling over my lace pillows again... now I'm drooling over the brochure but my twin HS seniors graduate June 20 so this will be another deferred gratification experience. I can't wait till *next * June!
