It's a Medieval World/The Renaissance

 Our 10th November has arrived and this year we are doing a back to back.  It's the first time for that and I hope all goes well.  Debi, Stephannie, Stephanie, and I arrive early to get the room set up and decorations in place.  This weekend is a Medieval World/Renaissance theme and we're out to have some fun.  Take a peek at how the place gets a uplift for the event. (So I'm going to share a secret here - these window treatments are table cloths.  Maybe that's old hat to y'all, but brand new to my little brain.)

Some of the wall decor.

Each room has door signs --- LOVE THEM.

Well, now you know who you can expect to see in pictures.  Continuing on - downstairs powder room.

Okay - here we go.  Many have already arrived and the swap table (counter) has filled nicely.  People will have lots of treasures to go home with.

Lori has the first TA-DA - 

Dinner has these really cute little desserts.  YUM.

The day ends without me.  One tired girl.  However, that doesn't stop the gang.  Last ladies up on Thursday night.

10th - Ramona gets Friday going with a TA-DA.

Followed by Karen with her TA-DA.  Hey, that's the fabric I used for my ruler bag.  How fun.

Stephannie is preparing a "feast" for us tonight.  Even the dining tables get dressed up.

Take a peek at part of our "feast" as we are so thrilled with Stephannie and the effort she puts forth to feed everyone.

Game night follows ---- LOVE it when people play.  We're all kids at heart and it's fun to be one now and then.

I don't always share pictures of evening fun, BUT this one has Debi and I unable to even hold our heads up and eyes full of tears.  It's a night that just may become a legend.  So. Much. Laughter.

Last night, last ladies.  Lots of us not wanting the weekend to end.

12th - The last day dawns and Samantha has a TA-DA before this retreat officially comes to a close.  What a great time for everyone and I am onto Tweeners.
