Pete will cruise around this beautiful lake, Lake Champlain, here in Vermont. You can find Pete out cruising, generally on the head of Isle La Motte for hours until he reels in the big ones.

If you come to our beautiful island and look out onto the waters you may just spot him doing what he loves best, fishing in his Missy Jean, his boat that is!!

We will keep you posted, if he lands the big one we'll let you know.

Celebrate Champlain

A long time ago, in fact, 400 years ago in 1609, Samuel de Champlain discovered Lake Champlain. This summer, Vermont is celebrating this event with many historical and cultural events around the region.

Being Isle LaMotte residents, this celebration is of particular importance to us. Isle LaMotte is the first spot in Lake Champlain that Samuel de Champlain visited, accompanied by other French explorers and a handful of Indians. It has been noted that Champlain said the island was covered with the most beautiful pines he had ever seen.

Please check out the site http://www.celebratechamplain.org/ for more information on the history of the lake and information on the exciting events taking place throughout the summer.

Stay tuned to learn about the event that Nook & Cranny is planning to host. We are just awaiting approval from the VT Tourism Department.

Shelburne Farms-Shelburne Museum

This is a building at Shelburne Farms, located in Shelburne Vermont.

Don't you wish you could live here. We have been told that a very wealthly family named the Webb's owned all the property, they were the builders and the idea behind the Shelburne Museum also in Shelburne.

This property is so beautiful, with rolling fields and lawns along side the shoreline of Lake Champlain. Can't say we had ever been here before!

This place was one stop on our list of places for our field trip. We were glad we found the place, we shall visit again when the weather gets warmer. The lambs in the pics live here.
