A friend from J.J. Ruggers has opened a store in Dwight and Pam and I visited. Marion and her husband lovingly and painstakingly renovated an old house, just steps from the Dwight beach, with a beautiful wrap around porch. The store, Loops, opened in the middle of the summer last year and is off to a roaring start this year. Full of wonderful things that will spill out on to that porch.

Marion has, unfortunately, been unable to post any signs to give directions so is relying on
"word of mouth" to help people find her unusual art and craft gallery. |
 |
My rug hooked runner (made from a plaid shirt), Marion's rug hooked loon (framed) and Heather's beaded
brooches. Artists from Paris and the Dwight area are well represented as well as examples of Marion's work. |
 |
| There is a great mixture of sewing (quilts, bags, baby blankets), photography, jewellery, paintings, stained glass, soft dolls, knitting as well as the rug hooking. |
 |
Everything is artfully arranged on some lovely pieces of furniture and there is a plenty of natural light
to see the true colours of the works displayed. |

After visiting Loops we had a delicious light lunch at Bush Company on Hwy 35 (they are soon opening a beautifully crafted wine bar that we toured). We are staying overnight at Spring Lake Resort where we also had dinner.
