Pepper at Cherry Wood Bed, Breakfast & Barn

A little over a year ago my mom and I stayed at Cherry Wood Bed, Breakfast & Barn(Zillah, WA) for my 40th birthday. If you love horses, wineries, and teepees, it is a great adventure and so much fun! I mean, what could be more fun than touring the wineries on horseback?  We visited in October and the weather was perfect! When I came home I painted this mixed media painting inspired by Pepper(the owner), her horse and of course the teepees, this is the first time I am sharing it! I didn't make it back this year but I'm hoping we will next year for sure! I posted about it previously, you can read about it here (and see some pictures from our trip)! Cherry Wood is also on Facebook:  Cherry Wood Bed Breakfast and Barn. Be sure to check it out and read about their horses. 

Lovely Port Townsend

We had a special getaway to Port Townsend this last weekend. Port Townsend, Washington is located at the northeastern tip of the Olympic Peninsula and is well know for its 19th Century Victorian buildings. We stayed at the Bishop Victorian Hotel, one of the many Victorian hotels in town. Nearby Fort Worden is where Artfest has been held for many years, one of these years I hope to attend! I also snapped some photos of a few doors that caught my eye around town.

This is the Palace Hotel, a former brothel.  We'll be staying here during our next visit, it's rumored to be haunted by the Blue Lady.

 

We also came across these beautiful pieces of art in one of the galleries we visited. Have you heard of Sticks Art? I would love to have one of their pieces!

I'm headed over to the eastern side of Washington State tomorrow with my mom. We are staying at Cherry Wood, going for a horseback winery tour on Saturday and of course staying in the teepees! So excited for a little gettaway! You can see more photos on their site: Cherry Wood Bed & Breakfast

Be sure to check back next week to see photos from our trip!
