Stopped by to see the quilts and an excellent tapestry exhibit. The quilts were beautiful with both old and contemporary designs. The special exhibit of tapestries were fascinating...telling a story through art. I recommend a stop if you are in La Connor and have an interest in quilts.

We saw this bridge from the restaurant we were eating at in La Conner and decided to drive across it. You can get a wonderful view of it from the docks downtown. It's an old-style suspension bridge that you can also walk across. The view of the little town of La Conner is very nice from the bridge.

This is an unusual Historical Museum...sorry for the oxymoron. There is not a crunch if LaConner history per square inch....but what is there is pretty accurate layout of that part of Skagit County. The exhibits are mostly photographs but what is there is good. I did not have time to go next door and go through research archives for the meat I was hoping for. Still, the museum was manned by a great docent, a beautiful and meaningful touch of what is beautiful and artistic about the area, and even some memory items for purchase that represented to origins of the Native American culture the preceded it and surrounds it even today. Well worth 4 bucks.

I am not sure what ediblecrayonz from Honolulu, HI, is talking about with her review. I have been a wine club member for 4 years and frequently enjoy free wine tastings on weekends, often with one of Washington's outstanding winemakers presenting their wines. There's never...MoreThanks Joel... we love our club members and appreciate your kind words... see you at the shop for some wine tasting fun soon!

I visited La Conner and noticed a wine tasting from vintner I had not heard about. Soo, being a wine person I stopped in for wine tasting at Skagit Cellars. I will sum it up in a very short bit...RuthAnne the sommelier was delightful and friendly. The 3 whites I tasted were amazing, wonderfully distinctive in flavor and aroma and the be all and end all of it......I HATE CABERNET FRANC...told RuthAnne don't even bring this for my tasting...she said "try this one"....This Skagit Cellars vintner is a wizard...the only Cabernet Franc i have ever liked let alone purchased. RUN to buy his wines. Exceptional!!!! And his Malbec, smooth berry/cherry you won't believe . When wines are labelled as buttery (especially Chardonnays) his Pinot Gris....large buttery on the tongue!!!! Go to La Conner if only to visit this wine tasting...and it's a lovely village too.

A working artists studio right in downtown La Conner. Scott Bouwens is a lampwork glass artist (mini works of art) and Monica Bouwens designs their jewelry.

Bearfoot Art Glass Studio also offers beads for sale and beaded jewelry repair.

I was looking for something special to wear on an upcoming trip. Owners and artists Scott and Monica bent over backwards to help me find what I needed. When I could not find something that matched perfectly from their beautiful collection, they created something for me that was absolutely perfect and stunningly beautiful! I will definitely be back!
