DAY TRIP - antiques


While out enjoying my summer day trip to La Conner, Washington and around the Skagit Valley - I stumbeled upon a sweet little gift and antiques shop on the premises of Christianson's.  All my favorites in one destination. Beautiful gardens to wander through, plants to purchase, antiques and home decor, and a sweet little cat napping on the windowsill of the gift shop.

DAY TRIP - La Conner farms and produce

I love filling my summer with road trips to quaint little towns that are close to home. Getting off the beaten path,  traveling the picturesque roads with views of farms and pastures. Stopping at every farm stand I encountered along the way. A perfect day trip enjoying La Conner, Washington.

Savoring the simple pleasures of summer.

bainbridge in bloom - garden tour


Last month, on a beautiful summer weekend........
I spent part of my time attending Bainbridge in Bloom - The annual garden tour on Bainbridge Island.
Six intriguing gardens open to the public, to wander through for inspiration and to gain ideas for your own gardening efforts and pursuits. Here are some highlights I photographed as I traveled from garden to garden admiring the colorful and varied island landscapes.
