i fall more and more in love with the maritimes everyday. if i had any doubts about where my long term home should be today i may have put them doubts to rest!
i am currently sitting in a b.e.a.u.t.i.f.u.l historic home that overlooks the eastern shore of nova scotia. let me describe it for you. big windows, exposed beams, refinished antique furniture or pieces made from repurposed items, wide plank hardwood floors, jars of pasta, beans and other goodies decorateing the kitchen, original art work by judith brannen (it is her home afterall!), and other wonderful bits of character that make this home wonderfully charming. it a peaceful escape for the tired soul.
i am here with ten friends for an art retreat. our weekend schedule consists of food, a discussion on art and the church, walks on the beach, a photography workshop, a visit to an art opening for eva brannen, and plenty of time for creating, laughing and loads of fun! thus far, i am loving this!
and, i think i may be relocating myself... this place is a dream. the space judith and her husband has created makes me want to find a little oceanside cottage full of character and live simply whilst surrounded by beauty. how inspiring this little piece of heaven must for an artist. my to do list now had listed: find oceanside cottage with heaps of character that i can make my home.
*sigh*. i dream. perhaps i will be satisfied by shooting some oceanside weddings!
love and sunshine,
shannon-may
