Anita McCamley & La Maison Rouge will be opening Shavasana Gallery this Weekend

Posted on by Shavasana Art Gallery & Café

I’m very happy to announce that Anita McCamley & her delicious baked goodies (La Maison Rouge: https://www.facebook.com/La.Maison.Rouge.MI ) are coming to open Shavasana Gallery & Café for two days this coming weekend: Sunday Nov. 16 from 9am – 1pm and Monday from 8am – 1pm. !😊 La Maison Rouge & Anita have a longstanding & solid reputation as one of the best bakers on Mayne Island (as you will likely know from her years of attendance at the Saturday Market❤️)…and Shavasana is a sweet place to hang out, grab a coffee or tea, and nibble on one (or two!) of Anita’s offerings.*

I think we are all aware of the dearth of places to go and sit and visit in a warm & inviting environment on Mayne Island – especially during this slower Fall/Winter season. Please drop by and say hi to Anita – if all goes well we’d like to offer this to you on a more regular basis🙏😊

Cheers!

George

The Accidental Curator – Episode 21 – Christmas in Afghanistan

Posted on by Shavasana Art Gallery & Café

After a very busy 6 month hiatus, I have finally buckled down and produced another podcast. Here’s a little story from my travels overseas in the early 70’s, “Christmas in Afghanistan”, and a wee descriptor:

There was a brief window in time when it was safe to travel to Afghanistan as a tourist, or curious wanderer. December 1973 was just such a window. Here is a story of 8 young travellers following the “Hippie Trail” as it was known, on their way overland to India, with a sojourn through Afghanistan which led to Christmas in Kabul. Join them for this unique trip from another era through the “Graveyard of Empires.”  

Here it is, just click on this link:

Hope you enjoy it!

Cheers!
