From The Lakehouse:  Camp Art Gallery

6/16/2013

0 Comments

 
So we're renting a charming little camp on Long Pond this week.  Long Pond itself is a work of art, and the camp is a tidy, efficient, thoughtfully constructed beauty too.  The owner explained that it's been in the family a long time, and his parents lived here until recently.  Perched about 40 feet from water's edge, I have the luxury of typing this with the call of loons, the sounds of crows squabbling with a bald eagle, lapping waves, and the sigh of gentle wind through the soaring hemlocks and white pines.

The camp is outfitted with nigh everything you could desire.  Sheets, towels, paper goods, dishes, utensils, spices, books and games.  A dishwasher, microwave, toaster, two coffeemakers, washer and dryer - well heck, it's basically a complete house.  But within the first 24 hours, I noticed and became charmed by the eclectic collection of art and knicknacks.  They are things I myself would perhaps not have purchased had I seen them in an antique or thrift store.  Things whose charm I might not have understood in a different context.  But somehow, here, gathered together and presented on the walls and shelves of the camp, they seem so right, so delightful, so complimentary - like a carefully curated gallery show.  So I have decided to create this digital gallery to share them with you, reproductions by iPhone.  Forgive the occasional glare; enjoy the occasional details.
