LaConner, Washington
We had breakfast at the Channel Lodge and enjoyed an "artful" walk through the town. We visited the antique shop, "Nasty Jack's." I found a little sack of vintage valentines that had not been used. Reminded me of the valentines I gave away when I was in grade school. I will use them as book marks. We walked through a lot of galleries and shops. A lot of inspired artists in the area using all art mediums to produce beautiful paintings and objects d'art....with the Rainbow Bridge, Water Channel, the surrounding country side with tulip fields in the spring and Mt. Baker to inspire them. We found a coffee shop that made Phil a blended iced mocha.....very tasty. There was a shop called "The Wood Merchant." It was a shop after his own heart! Hand-made furniture, clocks, boxes, cutting boards, salad bowls, plus smaller items, like; wooden birds, fish, bookmarks, earrings, guitar picks, all made from different types of wood.....etc.
We had a nice walk and stopped for lunch at an outside fish and chips bar.
Thank You, LaConner for a Great Day!
