Shades Of Blue

The Rectory Art House stands next to St. Brigid's. It served as a home for the parish priests. The Rectory was turned over to a group of artists, the rooms now serving as studio space (with beautiful ten foot ceilings, yes, artists must suffer for their craft). Many people were passing through the house as we were there, taking in the exhibits. I found this room to be eye catching, lit in a moody and dreamy blue, the mannequin on the left seeming to come out of the wall.


And this is the kitchen in the Rectory, still in use today for the artists. I chatted with some who were in there.

To the cooks among my readers, could you see yourself spending time in here?

More to come from the Rectory...

  2. It looks like a cozy kitchen. There must have been so much love served up in a rectory kitchen. Weddings, funerals and all kinds of family events full of love!

  4. Gorgeous blues! Love this historical stuff. When I researched items for my book, there were soooo many connections between Eastern Canada and LA and the Catholic Church, all good stuff.

    Hmmm, how about a chocolate pretzel?

    1. Ah, chocolate pretzels would be the exception!

      There's a tremendous amount of history here in the Ottawa Valley with Irish immigrants, so this church really does have a lot of use.
