Join us in our happy little bookworm collective as each session we create a simple small and sweet art project, chat about our book of the month, get to know one another - and take turns bringing some delicious nibbles to share with the group.
Autumn and Winter are quiet, cozy seasons to find rest and enjoyment in peaceful activities - painting, drawing, book reading, pot lucks with friends, music, podcasts, walks out in nature and exploring little venues and nooks for evenings out.
Let’s gather and chat about our book of the month, share treats and tea, delicate feelings and joyful hopes in the softer seasons while connecting with beautiful new friends.
