Requests the pleasure of your company for
Chocolate, Linen & Lace
September 18th - 22nd, 2008
Thursday, September 18th and
end on Monday, September 22nd 2008. We will experience all that this lively
city has to offer and stitch memories to last a lifetime! We will shop the
cobbled lanes, see magnificent tapestries and eat Belgian frites, Belgian
waffles, and Belgian chocolate -- and oh yes, there are more varieties of
Belgian beer than you could ever imagine!!! We will visit the
Lace Museum,
Chocolate Museum, and of course we will explore the Hotel de Ville on
the Grand Place! What a beautiful city square--just so spectacular! Our trip
will also take us to the "fairyland" city of Bruges -- with such charming
people, scenic canals, step-gabled buildings, luscious lace, and more fantastic
chocolate! This is heaven! 
This trip is designed for stitchers and includes four exclusive projects inspired by the cities of Brussels and Bruges. Our projects remain a secret until we meet at our hotel in Brussels but I can share a couple of projects with you ---the "Bruxelles Chocolate Sewing Box" with all the accessories to match and the "Antique Lace Pocket" that features antique lace overlay on silk--what beautiful lace! There is so much to inspire stitching in Brussels/Bruges!
The trip includes 5 days, 4 nights
accommodation with breakfast, tours and transportation within and outside of
Brussels. We will have a welcome celebration tea at the famous Dandoy biscuit
shop -- their waffles are soooo good and the spicy ginger speculoos are
delicious! Lunch will be "on your own" as we will be "on the go" every day and
with a quick bite we can see and do so much more. A non-refundable deposit of
$750.00 reserves your space now on this exciting stitching trip. The remaining
balance is due in full June 30, 2008. However, if for any reason you cannot
make the trip and notify me 6 weeks before our trip begins your balance is
returned to you. Your deposit cannot be refunded. Please select the cost from
the type of stitcher's packages available:
- Two Stitchers - $2400.00 per person, they share a room and your must have your own roommate (we don't pair up stitchers that don't know each other)
- One Stitcher - $2700.00 per person, a private room
- Stitcher with a Non-Stitcher -- $3200.00 per the pair, they share a room--this can be a friend, companion, sister, husband, etc.
Please know that only the stitcher is allowed on all tours
and transportation, dinners and special attractions and receives the exclusive
needlework projects. If you wish the non-stitcher to attend these I suggest
selecting the Two Stitchers package and then stitch their needlework projects
for them as a gift! We will of course, have the tourist information center
available for the non-stitcher to explore.
