We had a chance to drive up to our cottage this past weekend. It had been two whole months since we were last there. The photo shown above is not our cottage, but the "art cottage" of Pipka, an artist who has long been a resident of the area. Pipka began her career by making gorgeous hand-painted Santas. She continues to create them, but has also delved into the world of mixed media collage. The pieces she had on display and for sale were full of wonderful texture and dimension. Someday I hope to take a class here at Pipka's beautifully landscaped studio.
Her gardens are truly amazing! What glorious surroundings to create art in.
Such meticulously manicured planting beds.
The blossoms on this Horse Chestnut tree were HUGE!
The Siberian Iris blooms made quite a statement. I forgot to take my camera along, so all these photos were taken with my cell phone. Everything was even more awesome in person!
Two different types of Lilac bushes - my favorite scent of all the flowers!
Next time I'll share some of my vintage finds from the trip.
