Just a peek at some of my past retreats….stay tuned for 2024!!!

NANTUCKET RETREAT

October 3rd -8th

Nantucket, MA Creative Retreat with Maggie Bonanomi

We had the best time in one of the most magical places on the east coast! Surrounded by rose covered shake shingle cottages, the smell of the ocean and an absolutely fabulous house where we spent 6 days with Maggie!! This historical place just screams Old Glory!!

25 Miles out into the Atlantic Ocean with glorious views of lighthouses and sailing vessels. Beach combing for shells and sea glass. Home to the Nantucket lightship basket museum as well as the whaling museum. Star gazing at night and fresh donuts in the morning! This is what dreams are made of.

The amazing house “ Pilgrims Bliss” is where we will call home while we are there. It is just minutes walk from the ocean and downtown shops and eateries. Fabulous beds, luxurious linens and bathrooms. Lots of porch area to work on Maggies fabulous project while looking out over gorgeous gardens. Beauty everywhere you look! And then there is the food…seafood at its finest, farm to table meals everyday and notably the best ice cream you have ever eaten. Did I mention Downyflake Donuts? Maggie has chosen a very special piece for us to work on during our week at Pilgrims Bliss. Not a hooking project but a sewing project and some incredible vintage fabrics. Yep, this is gonna be a great week!
