The last of Holker Hall and some quirky artwork


 A COUPLE OF LAST IMAGES FROM HOLKER.  I LOVE THIS RUSTIQUE GARDENWARE AND IS'NT IT AMAZING HOW THEY CREATE THESE WONDERFUL SHOW GARDENS.


NOW OUR DAY AT ARNSIDE & SILVERDALE

 THIS IS THE QUIRKY WORK OF JANICE McGLOINE WHO HAS A STUDIO SET IN THE GROUNDS OF WOLF HOUSE IN SILVERDALE.  WE BOUGHT THE PIECE BELOW (MINUS THE DOODLY BIRDS IN THEIR CARAVAN. THATS ALL TO DO WITH LAST WEEKS TAG TUESDAY CHALLENGE), IT IS ONE OF THE MAIN STREETS IN KENDAL.
JAN AND HER HUSBAND STEVE ARE ORIGINALLY FROM OSWALDTWISLE IN LANCASHIRE, SO SOME OF YOU MAY RECOGNISE HER WORK.  THEY MADE US MOST WELCOME AND IT WAS GREAT TO HEAR THE BACKGROUND STORY TO JAN'S WORK.
ITS A BEAUTIFUL STUDIO AND IF YOU GET A CHANCE TO GO TO THE ARNSIDE & SILVERDALE ART TRAIL FRIDAY 29TH JUNE-SUNDAY 1ST JULY, YOU WILL SEE IT FOR YOURSELF.  
THERE IS ALSO WOLF HOUSE GALLERY AND A TEAROOM THERE. ITS A LOVELY SETTING.
HAVE A LOOK AT JAN'S BLOG AND WEBSITE

I BETTER GIVE YOU A LINK TO THE TAG TUESDAY CHALLENGE OR I KNOW YOU WON'T REST HAHA !

    1. Sorry to post to you here Anne but I couldn't find a 'Contact Me' on your own blog. I'm just wondering if the dvd arrived up ok? Mo x

    They arrived here yesterday! I did chuckle and they are the first to go on my new 'inspiration wall' as inspired by you! Thank you so much! :0)

  4. Don't you love garden art!! Mine needs some sprucing up, I'm afraid. And what a lovely painting - I can see why you were drawn to it. The doodly bird camper is too cute - and I see it's being pulled by your bug!

    Hugs,
    Kay
