Mandy’s Visit to Lynn’s Craft Shop & Art Gallery

So we were on our way through Ingonish when we noticed this sign and we knew we just had to stop ….

I wonder what they have to offer…  Boy were we surprised… They have something for everyone here!!! They have pottery, wood turnings, iron work, knitted accessories, soaps and preserves.. just to name a few. Along with these great handcrafts, they have beautiful oil and watercolour paintings by well known Nova Scotia artist Christopher Gorey.

just look at what they have to offer...

They have lots of wonderful paintings and books here

they have something for everyone

In addition these wonderful items, they now offer a variety of musical instruments and accessories and many Maritime titles and children books as well…. One stop shopping I say.

This shop has been owned and operated by Lynn and Christopher  Gorey since 1979 and they make you feel right at home when you stop in, no wonder they have been in business for so long.

So remember the next time you are in Ingonish don’t forget to stop in and say hello… if you are anything like me, you will not leave empty handed!! 😀

Ingonish Beach

WOW…. what a spot!! Just look at those waves !!

Ingonish Beach - Rolling waves!

This spot is amazing. What more could you ask for …sun, sand, and of course the view! Ingonish Beach has it all.  In the summer they  have a  canteen that sells ice cream, fries  and much more…, they even have a great walking trail that goes around the fresh water lake as well.

What an awesome spot!

There is a huge field to play football, soccer or even a game of  baseball… what a great way to spend the day with the family. For those who love tennis, they even have a court here!! It is like one stop shopping…lol.

Mary Ann Falls

What a great sunshiny day for another road trip. I just love road trips, especially when they take me to Ingonish!!  Myself and my kiddies, a few friends and their kiddies went off in search of adventure.   Once we got to Ingonish there was no question as to where we would go….Mary Ann Falls!!!

See how clear the water is!

What a great spot to visit. You have to walk just a bit from your vehicle and then go down stairs but it is all worth it at the end. Once you get to the bottom…WOW!! The Falls are amazing!

The Falls!

Full View of Mary Ann Falls

People actually climb up the side of the Falls and jump off…not me though as I am to chicken..lol.. I love going swimming in the lower pool. The water is so refreshing.

Looking down at the swimming pool

My children love coming here as much as I do!! Every summer we make a point to come here and go for a swim. So if you have time while doing the Trail and want to dip your toes or all of you I strongly suggest going to Mary Ann Falls…you will not leave disappointed!! Enjoy!!
