Little Free Library or Little Lending Art Cupboard

 










This little free library is filled with art supplies!  The Girl Scouts of Lanesboro, Minnesota care for and stock this exciting little free library.











We wandered and saw pumpkins, and looked in shop windows.

Then we had some dinner at Pedal Pushers and saw a great play at the Commonweal Theatre.

Artist Date

Take a little time to be oneself to look at art.  It is to refresh and to be inspired. Make time for an Artist Date.  My date included exploring the village of Lanesboro.

 The Lanesboro Arts Center is filled with wonderful art.  A breath of fresh air.











 It's a great place to ride a bicycle or cross country ski.



A few boutiques and places to have a bite to eat.  Lanesboro, Minnesota is a lovely place to explore.

Artist Date in Lanesboro, Minnesota

Last Saturday, January 27th was a warm winter day in Minnesota.  I traveled to Lanesboro to pick up some art prints, from the Lanesboro Arts Center, to use with my art students.  And it became what Julia Cameron would call an "Artist Date." An artist date is an activity done solo to look at art, be in nature, or do something to fill up on beauty and breathe in the good air and see new things.

I took a few pictures around this beautiful little town located on the Root River.





















I took a walk up a steep hill to the golf course and found some ice along the way to crack.  Oh, that is one of my favorite things to do!  Crazy, but oh so fun!

Can you see the water trickling under that thin sliver of ice?  The water was running all over, tickling and rushing.  I could see it and hear it. Mmmmm, sensations of lusciousness every where.














Here's the road I walked up and down.

















"It's Your Planet; Love It! "
These benches were all over down town made by the girl scouts.

"I only want to see you dancing in the purple rain." Prince















I found some delicious coffee at a natural foods grocery on the corner of Coffee St and Parkway.



































And a delicious turkey sandwich at the Pastry Shoppe.

It was a day filled with love.  And it did fill up my well to nurture my artist self.  How do you fill up your creative self?  Leave a comment below.  I'd love to hear from you.
