Earlier this year, while Melanie and I were exploring the eastern shore of the Mississippi river, we drove through a sweet little village called Maiden Rock, Wisconsin, where Melanie made one of her sudden turn arounds and pulled up in front of Basil's, an antique shop operated by Minnesota artist, Laurence Schultz.
I found Schultz's art extremely appealing with it's rich colors and impressionistic style. His red rowboats were my favorite.
But, what really won me over at Basil's were the cutout images of the artist's mom, a former opera singer. She was all over the store.
Isn't she fabulous?
I loved the feeling at Basil's with it's warm colors, variety of antiques, and vintage setting on the bluff overlooking the Mississippi river. I'd say more about it, but I think the pictures speak for themselves.
