#instahospitality What a kind gesture by the lovely @redwagonartstudio ! @peggyscoveareafestofthearts members were invited to a meet and greet featuring #chocolate goodies and #port last night and those in attendance enjoyed the treats and Red Wagon's well-stocked shop. We had some fun getting to know each other better. A few #artcards were traded too! #goodtimes #artsupplies #shoplocal #sponsorship #memberdiscount #hammondsplains #artscommunity #artclasses

The #coastal areas near #Halifax are wonderful sources of #inspiration. Between #peggyscove and the city beauty abounds on the various byways. These pictures were taken near #Sambro.
