Vacation…a new perspective

I just got back from traveling through New Hampshire, Canada, and Vermont. It was a welcome change of pace, and for the most part, a slower one than we’ve had lately. Construction of the studio is still underway, but we just packed up and left once the plaster went up. Hey, it had to dry for a week, anyway- so what better time! We were able to enjoy the slower pace, allowing the road to take us where it wanted. The kids certainly picked up all kinds of creative ideas from traveling, and so did I! I really want to carve my own totem pole for the house now! OK, I have wanted to do that for a while, but now I REALLY want to! All along the way, we met artists of all kinds, and got to see a lot of works, both “old” ones (like the Mary Cassatt, Georgia O’Keeffe and Tasha Tudor exhibits at the Shelburne), and new (freshly made teddy bears at the Vermont Teddy Bear Factory!) Sometimes you really do have to drop everything and GO somewhere different.
