At the Stone Arch Bridge Festival this weekend these clear candles by Lake Escape Candle Co caught my eye. I hadn’t seen anything like it. They are made with a gel wax and they did a brilliant job using that in the design. The next day I lit one and was wowed by the way the light lit it up. Lovely!

Stone Arch Bridge Fest
Today was Mazie’s birthday and one of the things she decided we should do is the Stone Arch Bridge Festival. It had been a very long time since we had been to this and I was really impressed by the size of it. There were so many artists and vendors. It felt to me like it had a particular Minnesota flare to it, with a lot of art that was locally inspired. We spent about four hours but could have spent the entire day there.
Some artists that caught our eye:
- Robots in Rowboats
- A.D. Hogan
- Bill Nagel
- Skape Designs
- James Powell Art
- CrewlArt
- Eric Beauchamp
- H. Ward Miles
Mazie bought a piece of art with her own money — her very first art purchase from H. Ward Mileswww.hwardmiles.com.
I also really liked these very local artist creating location pieces. Maybe I could get one of them to participate in a future year of the 612 POAP Challenge. 😊
We grabbed some switchel from Hobby Farmer on our way heading back home!
Got a recursive selfie while collecting the Grain Belt Sign for the 612 POAP Challenge with the family (see moment).
Favorite quote from Mazie @mthingelstad : “Why is this actually kind of fun?” Love it. 😍
