The CANOE ON A LAKE GIFT SET is ideal for entertaining. Great for dips and chips, veggies and breads or for salsa and nachos.

A fine piece of pottery with an unpretentious, innocent and charming aesthetic applied to a subject comforting and nostalgic.

Most of us have a lake, a boat, a memory of youth and the almost alien world of a glassy, dense with fog and frog and loon and moon lake, Great or small. Romance with the intoxication of being, and being capable, sentient, being young and everything being so new and exciting; Thinking of the primordial sludge, the seductive stew of self-replicating systems of all forms dance. Yo La Tengo – Griselda.

Peace and anticipation, like mogli at his happiest – these are the things that a canoe upon-a-lake bring to my mind – an especially pleasurable recall… I suspect you may harbor some auspicious memories similarly inspired…?

Now, imagine that with your favorite chip&dip&sip.

Combeau say parfait ;p !  [si votre réflexe était de corriger, alors veuillez vous abstenir]
