Come on down to the Commons at Third Place Books, Sunday, May 19th. That’s one week later than usual, as we make time for Mother’s Day on our usual day for gatherings and tunes.

The address is 17171 Bothell Way, #A101, Lake Forest Park, Bothell.

We’ll start at 12:30, but coming early is a great option because of the great food choices offered by the food court vendors in the Commons.  We will play until 2:30.

As the photo above states, we will not play tunes on the stage, but we’ll be close to the stage on the main floor.

All string instruments welcome, as well as other Celtic instruments. Scottish small pipes are encouraged as well, but the management has asked that their louder, bigger cousins, such as border pipes/Highland bagpipes stay home. Thank you for understanding.

Any questions, write to m.thumma@mac.com!

Hi everyone!

I arrived in Stanwood a few hours ago– about 5 pm. I can promise you that there’s absolutely no snow whatsoever up here, the streets and sidewalks, and everything are clear. It’s very windy but the wind should die down by about 4 AM this morning.

Then they will have cold weather warnings out, as the temperatures should be dipping into the lower teens at night, possibly breaking records!

Please come prepared for this cold weather, bring extra anything that might keep you warm, whether it be when you’re walking outside or when you’re in your cabin or room at night! Safe travels to you all tomorrow❤️❤️

-Marcia

Be sure to bring layers of clothes, and maybe even an extra blanket (always a good idea just for traveling in the car this time of year.)  May the force be with you as you venture forth!  One more update on Thursday.

SHhhhh!  Don’t tell anyone yet, but, there’s some good news as of this evening! Let’s hope it continues in this direction!  It will be cold, for sure!  😉

You’ve come to the right place!  Any information here regarding weather, and possible impact on the workshop will be right here.  We’ll start with this one. These will always be for Stanwood, so you can figure out what to bring, etc.  Be prepared, either way!

‘Tis the season!  We’re starting off the Holidays with a wonderful session December 3rd, at the the home of Linda Bliss, in Edmonds. Start time is 2 PM.

Linda says we can bring snacks!

If you aren’t on our mailing list, but wish to attend, see our Calendar page for details.

Holiday tunes, all our usual favorites, plus new adventures are all welcome!

We’ll be returning to one our very favorite places for a session November 12th at 2 pm. Just a short drive to Edmonds, we’ll gather in the home of our dear friend Donna Varnau, whom we lost this spring.  Donna’s wonderful husband David will be our host and listen in from his studio as he works on his latest creation.  If you’d like to join us, contact Marcia Thumma!

No masks required, but welcome! Come join us!
