Celebrate the 400th anniversary of
Shakespeare with a Summer picnic in
a glorious garden. In Woodinville, this
private garden offers airy bowers and
visual delights covering more than an
acre. Spread your snowy cloth upon
the ground or set up your own chairs
and tables.
Come as a fine Elizabethan lady or
gentleman, or as a working man or
wench in simple garb. Or, in classic
theatrical style, come as your own
interpretation of one of the characters
from a play. We'll admire your
raiment either way!

COAT OF ARMS
In case you missed the notice, there is an interesting article that had been pointed out by our sister
association, the Greater Bay Area Costumer's Guild, regarding Shakespeare's coat of arms:

If you didn't make it to the SITU
Spring Event, you missed a carload of
fun! Participants dodged the local
police and met up at a conveniently
located church in the historic district to
obtain their driving directions.
