You are never going to guess where I was last week...

I attended a fabulous week-long workshop taught by Rosemary Gladstar at Sage Mountain Retreat Center in Vermont and met wonderful new friends from all of the USA. We were taught a variety of subjects by Rosemary and her assistant Amy in the yurt, and were fortunate to listen to guest-speakers as well, including Ann Armbrecht, who created the just-released film 'Numen' - the Nature of Plants (a film about the healing power of plants). All the notes I took will keep me very busy for the next few months and all the warm memories created will stay with me forever...

City of Art

We saw Art Galleries and artists working or selling their works on the street - from lithographs, coloured photographs to miniature paintings. The architecture was impressive with the height of the doors at the Court House and the numerous churches, especially the Notre-Dame Basilica of Montreal. What an amazing city to share with family and friends!

Fabulous French friends

My wonderful friend Linda from Quebec played 'tour guide' for mom and I - she drove us to Montreal where we saw amazing homes with curvy staircases, pots of plants and bicycles everywhere...my mom said she thought she was in Amsterdam (both my mom and I are born there).

Above is a photo of a restaurant in Old Montreal - what a wonderful idea to present your pots!
