How do we celebrate getting through another January in Minnesota? We went to the art shanty's on the lake near our house for the third year in a row. Remember here and here? It's always a fun time and this year I knew that there was an art swap shanty. What could be more fun than that?!
You bring a piece of art....
and take one in return. I love swaps and had to particiapte!
The gigantic pom pom hat on the top was adorable.
The weather was great again this year and we had a fun time checking out all the different themed shanty's.
The teepee had a running sauna inside.
In the foreground is the Nordic shanty.
The idea shanty.
The "write me up" shanty.
Can't forget the art car taxi.
Wow!
Always fun to spend an afternoon in the middle of the lake.
Hope you're having a great weekend!
What a blast! We love to visit the cities.....so will have to put this on our "to do" list for next year!!!
ReplyDeleteHi I've been reading your blog just a couple of months now. I found you through Tara Frey's "Blogging for Bliss". I am so enjoying your pics and scrapbooking. I especially like this post on the Shantys!! Wow what fun! I wonder if I can find a way to incorporate something similar where I live!? Looking forward to your next post!
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteI read your blog, but still nothing posted ...
But this post was impressed. What a beautiful tradition. And what a beautiful winter ;-)
Greetings from Lithuania.
so glad that i checked your blog this morning. today, we shall visit the shanties of art!
ReplyDeleteOK< it's agreat idea, but it's so cold!!!!!
ReplyDeleteOne of the things I love about reading blogs is the detail of the day to day lives of people in other countries. So similar in many ways and yet so different.
ReplyDeleteYour weekend looks great fun, and the giant bobble hat is adorable!
Best Wishes
Primrose in Edinburgh.

ReplyDeleteWow! What diversity!! and who would have thought of a sauna inside of a tee pee!! It looks like you had a grand time checking all of that stuff out... Glad it was a nice day for it!!!

ReplyDeleteHi Kari,
ReplyDeleteI peek in on your blog every so often and just now discovered you are in MN! I'm not quite sure where medicine lake is...I'll be looking that up...but I grew up in White Bear Lake (where I ice-fished as a little girl but not in fancy ice shantis such as these) and currently live in Woodbury. I'm always thrilled when I run across a fellow Minnesota creater/blogger. I'll be visiting you more often now! You can find me at aliceandelsie.blogspot.com.
SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO COOOOOOOL!!!!!
