We are forging ahead in our Boston plans at breakneck speed. I first wanted to share with you information on some specific things we will be doing as we will be traveling - sort of a blow-by-blow itinerary. So here is the first infomercial.
Our first night will be busy as we will have a class immediately after dinner! It's a secret and is in your goody bag! Just a little warmer upper! We will start the trip on a lighter note first - visiting a needlepoint shop!
As stated earlier, we will be visiting three (3) needlepoint shops during our Have a Ball in Boston Tour June 8-13, 2017! And we will have something different in store for us at each.
First up will be Wellesley Needlepoint Shop. We will have 3 hours to visit, shop and stitch in this wonderful place. Wellesley is sharing with us a very unique design that we can preorder! This piece is so indicative of the area that it just screams Boston and the coastline.
You can feel the ocean breeze coming in from the water when you view this design. Can't you envision the sound of the waves and hear the sea gulls noisily waiting for you to share some of your catch with them? Such a happy and colorful design to document your visit to this area. It can be a picture hung on the wall in your sunny place or beach house - or a cute pillow tucked on the wicker chair in your sunroom. Fun stitches will keep you occupied for a bit so be sure to get your preorder in right away if you plan to come on the tour. And. . . . tour participants will be given a special surprise by Wellesley so be sure to watch on the secret Facebook page - Have A Ball in Boston for full details!
This exclusive design - Cape Cod Fish Market - will be the topic of discussion when we play at Wellesley. You will pick up your preordered full kit when we arrive at the shop. Once we are there, we can look over our kits and discuss any questions we may have while in the shop. Maybe do some stitch refreshers, etc. However, we may also shop through their wondrous threads, canvases and stitching accessories. What a way to start a road trip!
AND the shop has advised me that our tour participants will get a special surprise when they preorder this kit! Details will be available on the secret Facebook Page which is only available to paid registered participants. So don't miss out!
Wellesley will also have several ornaments that they will happily kit for us for our adventure. This one is particularly meaningful to me because it has the Boston skyline, the Charles River and the remembrance of the Marathon Event - it speaks volumes - all in one little ornament.
I have lots more to share with you so be sure too check back next week to see what we will be doing in the afternoon on our 'shop hop'.
Won't this be a great way to get our play things ordered and paid for before we even leave? That way we will have more purchasing power when we get there! LOL. (Well, that's how I choose to think about it.)
So once you have registered for the Tour be sure to check out the special kit surprise on our Secret FB Page and get your preorders in right away so there is no delay in having them painted in time!
