The Luncheon today was fine except three of the ladies were missing. One whose Mother died Wednesday, another who fractured her arm last week and a third who just didn't show up.
But the four of us remaining who did come had a very lively and interesting conversation and meal together.
The highlight of the day for me was ( surprise!) the trip to the mosaic lady afterward as I had mentioned in the previous message. And what a pleasant surprise it was. Tucked away down a dead end road on the edge of a Lake nestled amongst the trees lay a mansion. Built on the slope down to the waterfront and landscaped with huge steps of slaps of rock, we were invited into the home and then a tour of her art work and then down a grand stairway into her huge ground floor studio overlooking the Lake. The first place she showed us in her home was the bathroom - picture a step up platform into a huge bathtub with mosaic art work all around the base of the tub structure. Then huge pots on the mantle of a rock fireplace all done in mosaic tiles. Then sculptures laying on mirror tables all done in mosaic. And Pati she has gettos (?spelling) all over including a huge painted one on the studio floor which will be done in mosaic (eventually) It was a visit to remember. She and her husband were so very welcoming and of course wanted us to take whatever tiles we wanted. These were in boxes all over the floor and on tables. We took about four small boxes of various coloured and shaped tiles. We did not want to be too grabby but she said they had to get rid of them. They are planning to put this home on the market in the Spring and plan to move to Peterborough so need to get rid of supplies. They invited us back. I sent an email by way of a thank you and left the door open for us to return possibly.
