We Don't Call Her "Big Blue" For Nothing!
A pretty day for a ride in the truck. Due west are the Manitou Islands.
Down the center of the peninsula we drive. On our way, into Cedar, to buy fresh smoked hotdogs. |
Sidetracked by the shoreline. Had to make a stop, at Good Harbor, for a walk in the fresh air. |
It was a blue day! The sky and water. The islands and the moraines. All are just a bright and sunny blue. |
It was twenty eight degrees with the wind eight miles an hour out of the east. We walked into the wind first off so the walk back was a "breeze"! |
We determined which stone was worthy of taking off our gloves to pick it out of the water!! |
What do you do, for fun in the sun? We bundle up and go for a walk on the beach. Gulping the cold air and smiling in the sunshine. The shore of Lake Michigan never disappoints. |

Going To A Book Signing!
Cans full of dots and squiggles! Twyla's paint station. |
Amazing what Lonnie will come up with in his barn! |
They live in the hills of Corbin Kentucky where the roads meander out and around homes and rivers. |
One day a lady came out and said that she wanted to publish a book with their painted creations! |
May thirteen at the Oak Hill Gardens in London Ky. |
Twyla gave us a quick preview of the book! |
If you type Money or critters in my search bar, on the blog, pictures of the critters that I brought home, over the years, will pop up. |
Why didn't I buy this whirly gig? I was being careful not to take their inventory because they are going to need it!! |
They will be at the Kentucky Crafted Market, in Lexington Ky, March eleven and twelve. Selling the book and taking orders for the painted animals. |

Still Thinking About The Antiques & Garden Show!
"Karl" on the walls and the chair. Kim Faison Antiques featured the blue, white and coral combination in her space. |
Flying swan with the blue floral chair, she had a pair, against the wallpaper. I came back to see her wares, several times, during the show. Holland MacRea. |
All the way from Harbor Springs Michigan, Elliott & Elliott Art and Antiques! |
I had heard of Tucker Payne Antiques. He didn't disappoint! This chair was covered in a soft, plaid wool. Such the gentleman's perch. |
In the same booth he had an African cloth wing chair covered in old old textile. |
This is an eagle mirror! Darn if I didn't write down the name of the shop. It was one of the last pictures I took. |
This is a novel idea. |

The Concrete Side Of Garden Ornaments
This concrete sphere from Atlanta Planters, LLC. Roll a few of these across your yard. Love the sizes. Love the way they roll. |
Not my cup of tea, then, wedding perfect, so easy and elegant. The Antiques & Garden Show looked outside the box, so to say. |
So much concrete. Benches, planters, table bases. No lattices, gates, trellis pieces in the show. |
Quite a few, cement critters for your yard. I loved them all. Distressed and pre-mossed, as far as I can tell. |
Iron ducks from Charleston Garden Works. Stepping around the water feature at your townhouse! |
I may have to go back and pick this concrete Sand Hill Crane up and bring it home. Artifacts/Randy Farmer. |
We have all seen these chairs in the forest! Especially after logging. What do you think Mr. Scott? Provenance Antiques. |
