I could really get used to this vacation thing.
We're renting this house in Casco Maine
I did two things before I left home. I painted enough backgrounds to make a few dozen postcards, and I splurged on a Pogo printer.
Here are some of the postcards I've made so far this week, using some of the pictures I've taken.

Oh, Karen, that looks fabulous. I would like to run away there.
ReplyDeleteBliss..... lucky you!
ReplyDeleteThat house....the water....I have to pick my jaw up off the floor!
ReplyDeleteLuxuriate......savor....relax...
That's what I call a vacation! :)
Wow, beautiful photos--thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteCan I come over and play? I can make you a pie.
ReplyDeleteLooks divine! Relax: done; Soak up nature: done; Laugh: done (this one isn't a stretch, knowing you) - Sounds like the making for a perfect vacation!
ReplyDeleteEvery one of these is beautiful, and the colours are so clean and restful that I think it must mean that you are relaxing, recovering and being happy.
ReplyDeleteIt looks so lovely there, I wish I could experience it, and the house is like something from a fairy tale.
Sounds like a most perfect vacation, at least to me. Love these post cards. No pie yet???? Oh no. Perfect time for blueberry!!!! xox
ReplyDeleteGood for you - you really deserve it! It just looks so wonderful, I can't imagine anything better. And even finding the time and energy for art - I love your postcards. And I don't know what a POGO printer is, but I think it's best I not find out, or I'll want one...
ReplyDeleteI just love how you planned for incorporating art into your vacation. These are beautiful! Will you bind them as a keepsake for yourself, or send them to lovely blogging friends you adore (lol)? Enjoy a little of that relaxation for me; it looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteLooks like perfection! What a spectacular spot and wonderful cards to remember it with xx (Having a total mental block...did I tell you that your postcard arrived last week??? Your gorgeous Moo card. I have it proudly displayed on a mini easel on my shelves. Just in case I didn't...thanks so much! Must be time for ME to go on another vacation...)
ReplyDeleteYay!!!!!!! OK, i hope you started the list over every day!!!!
ReplyDeleteMan, my gills would NEVER be dry there!!
Enjoy......
How wonderful for you, Karen! Enjoy every bit of it.
ReplyDeleteHey, I am at my camp in Maine. Been here all summer. How do you like it?
ReplyDeleteI am catching up (backwards). And I have to say that you are the best postcarder in the world. And, yes, I've seen all their work and none of it compares.
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a fabulous experience, Pookie!
I love my pogo printer! I am catching up backwards as well, and had no idea you had taken those lovely boat photos...looks very tranquil.
ReplyDeleteLove the series of dock photos. Tempted by a Pogo.
