If you're ever driving through Kingston, Ontario
Canada on the 401 you're going to want to make a tiny
detour and give yourself a treat.  Head for The Gallery
at the Porch Door, and meet the owner/curator Sally Chupick.
She is without a doubt one of the sunniest people
I've ever met, and the gallery, in the lovely porch of
her century old stone farmhouse is an absolute
delight.  Sally has wonderful taste and displays the
art and many smaller and perfect gift items with a
designer's eye.
Sally Chupick and me in my kitchen last November.
Have lunch in one of the super restaurants in Kingston,
then head west again, and turn up exit 613 to
Elginburg. At the light in Elginburg turn left
and a short ways down the highway you'll see Sally's
beautiful home on your left.  A warmer reception
would be hard to imagine, and you will quickly
realize that you've come upon a find that you'll
want to revisit again and again.
The Gallery at the Porch Door is the star on the Map

Oh and incidentally as you can see above I have
several paintings in that gallery expertly displayed
by my good friend,  a superb artist herself, Sally Chupick.

    Hi Melinda,

    Thank you so much. I wish you were driving there too -- but you're going in the opposite direction I'm afraid.

    One day we'll have to fly you up here, and show you around.

    Hi Kim,

    Thanks so much. It is a lovely spot to visit, if you're heading up the big highway to Ottawa or Montreal and need a treat on the trip.

    XO Barbara
