I like to take something to share. Last time I was able to find some silicone iron rests at Hancocks on clearance for only 25 cents. I bought enough to give everyone there one. This time I'm making pin cushions for everyone. But a plate of brownies or homemade cookies works just as well. One of the ladies brought a huge pail of small peaches off her own tree and they were wonderful. Another brought cake and strawberries.
I just LOVE retreats, can you tell? I go to a weekend painting retreat in the spring every year and have a blast there too.
