What a HUGE weekend we have just experienced at Tinkers Cart, the very first retreat to be hosted by Tinkers Cart. Rosalie Quinlan, Helen Stubbings and Janet Rowe delighted us with their company, knowledge and wit.
Sharon Hawkins from Handmade magazine made a special appearance....just the absolute icing on the cake for
me, as we have been phone buddies for some time now...I did tell her I was 6ft tall, and had 
blonde hair and Big
titties....how disappointed was she when she saw what I really looked like!!!
We all shared stories..most unprintable and secrets to be kept forever..but the best thing was the fabulous welcome th
at Townsville women extended to one and all.
Townsville may have grown in size but our hearts remain forever country...warm, welcoming and inclusive. It was truly an honour for my staff and myself to host this event and hopefully many more like it....speaking of which...
On the 20th September 2008 Tinkers Cart presents Sun, Sand and Santa, a Christmas Retreat featuring Brenda Ryan....Brenda Ryan Embroidery and Natalie Ross..Natalie Ross in Stitches. Check out the links to their site on the right hand side of this page.
The basting glue used by Rosalie Quinlan is available for $3.50 and the hoops used by Janet Rowe will also be available in the next couple of weeks. I have created an album of photos of the day, look for it in the left hand column, if you want to check out the rest of the pics.
A very special thankyou goes out to my beautiful husband John, who cooked tea for us all on friday night, as we sat around our pool with our swollen feet in the cool water...sipping champagne, my daughters Elizabeth and Emily, and two special family friends Des and Cathy, all of whom were in charge of the catering on the day of the retreat as well ...luv you all and thanks!!
The following is a montage of pictures taken on the day...yo

Looks like you all had a wonderful time at the gathering.
I was lucky enough to have Helen come and do a workshop for us straight after yours we too had a great time.
