We started out at The Avenue Gallery. Everything in here was beautiful - some great paintings, ceramics, and some brilliant and very fine fabric collages that had to be examined with a magnifying glass to tell that the images were made from tiny pieces of fabric!
Next was the Eclectic Gallery. This was eclectic in nature as well as name, including interesting pieces made from perforated and moulded metal sheets, back-lit to display the perforations. Also on display were crystals and fossils as well as jewelery, sculpture, ceramics, wood turnings, and gemstones.
Lunch at the Penny Farthing was very good. The pizza and a pint of beer for $9.99 proved a popular choice for some reason!
Then we visited Side Street Studio, with its wide range of art, crafts, jewelery, and gifts. At least one of us took advantage of the 10% discount offered to our group!
We had time for some independent browsing of the Oak Bay shops and other scenic locations before it was time to head back on a really good circuitous drive to the centre.
Thanks to everyone who joined us on this enjoyable and excellent value Let's Do It Day Trip.
There is no trip next week. We had to cancel the Chemainus trip to Steel Magnolias due to lack of ticket sales. See you at the Cowichan Bay trip on May 25th!!
Let's Do It!!
