While the stores/galleries help artists promote their wares, the League is also about education, so classes and workshops are offered at some locations, for those who want to learn and explore their creative sides.

Ask about the logging history and she will tell you all about it. I felt as if I was getting free local concierge by listening to her talk about the local history, and from a local, it was fascinating. This little shoppe is right in the downtown area, off on a side street and next to the train museum. She is very friendly and affordable. The only place around to customize a photo or painting with a classy frame. We purchased a painting nearby and stopped in for a frame. Carla helped us choose a simple, yet attractive and well fitting frame for the picture. She gave us many options to choose from and has a great eye for art and colors. Since we had to leave the area that same day, we left the painting with Carla to frame it and paid upfront for the cost of the frame and to ship the painting. We are now looking forward to the finished item. I certainly recommend you stop into this shoppe; you will not be disappointed.

I've purchased many pieces here, including earrings, pendants, cuffs, and my favorite -- a customized ring. (The display ring was far too large for me, so they placed a special request with the artist, who made one in my size. I had to wait awhile for it, but it was worth the wait!) The staff is knowledgeable about the artists and the craft of making these special pieces.

I bought a beautiful little painting in encaustic, and the price was reasonable. (No New York City prices here!) Some works are by full-time artists, others by amateurs, or people who just do art on the side. Because of the location, there definitely is a 'Maine wilderness' bias in the art, but I bought something abstract, for example. If you're in the area, I would definitely recommend stopping by - it's open 7 days.

Dog mountain sits on over 100 beautiful acres overlooking the Vermont hills. The open fields, ponds and walking trails are made for dogs to explore freely and watching the dogs run across the grass with pure joy feels like a part of the art itself. You can really feel the love here. We arrived midday and I had intended to view the chapel and then take my dog hiking on the grounds, but I ended up spending so much time in the chapel that it was close to sunset by the time we left. From the outside, the chapel is simple and charming, but inside it absolutely overwhelmed me. The walls are completely covered in handwritten notes, photos, drawings, and memorials left by people honoring the dogs that they've loved and lost. I spent over an hour inside reading story after story. I smiled at the sweet memories and cried at many of the goodbyes. I sat in the pew with my sweet dog on my lap and felt the weight and beauty of how much these animals mean to us. Afterwards, and we headed back outside and met a few new dog friends. Then we headed to the gift shop and gallery. The space is full of Stephen Huneck's work, including prints and wood carvings and tons of other stuff like dog accessories, plushies and even furniture. The woman who works in the gift shop was warm and welcoming and absolutely loved the sweater that our fur baby head on. It said "Obedience School Drop-Out". She must have taken a dozen photos of it and she was giggling the whole time. It was so sweet. She was also kind enough to introduce us to Sally, the great-granddaughter of the original Sally the black lab that is the inspiration of much of Huneck's work. She was such a sweet girl and I was so excited to get a photo of our two beautiful black doggies together. (Below) It was so nice to spend time in a place that is so devoted to celebrating dogs. The love here is tangible and we really enjoyed our afternoon in this place. We picked up some treats for our dog and a few souvenirs and headed out just as the sun was setting. This is a magical place and I left feeling very grateful. Grateful for my dog, grateful to have shared in the experience of all those who who left a piece of themselves here and grateful to have had the opportunity to spend time in a place like this that honors dogs so beautifully.
