Art and antiques walk offers a glimpse of spring
OCEAN PARK, Wash. — February
on the Long Beach Peninsu-
la brings winter’s chill, the
beauty of storm-driven waves
crashing against cliffs in Cape
Disappointment State Park,
and a yearning for the light
and bright colors of spring.
Spring is still aways over the
horizon, but you can bundle
up and head “up peninsula” to
the Ocean Park Art & Antiques
Walk. From 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Saturday, Feb. 11, the artists
and shopkeepers of this coastal
town promise a respite from
the winter doldrums.
Forgotten Treasures An-
tiques and Collectibles’ theme
for the walk is Spring Fling:
Ready for Spring! Knowing
that so many customers are
itching to get into the gar-
den and dig around, booths
offer an alternative idea: Dig
around here to find blooming
treasures. Yard art, vintage gar-
dening books, small furniture
for porches and garden-in-
spired artwork will be on hand
throughout the two buildings.
Weather permitting, Big Foot
holds reign at an outdoor mar-
ket filled with bargains. And
for those wishing to engage in
a little pre-spring DIY project,
shopkeepers Vince and Alissa
Stevens have brought in a
new wood gel stain product
called Unicorn Spit. Colors
of the rainbow enhance your
woodworking project while
allowing the beauty of the
grain to shine through. They
also offer a large selection of
Dixie Belle chalk paint.
New to the Ocean Park Art
& Antiques Walk is Adelaide’s
This espresso, chocolate,
pastry and ice cream shop
also carries vintage linens,
handcrafted items, Bette
Lu Krause-painted apparel
and books by local writers.
Adelaide’s is also home to
local spinning and weaving
group the Peninsula Fiberistas.
The 19th annual Spinners &
Weavers Open House will be
going on Saturday and Sunday.
Find yourself mesmerized by
demonstrations of tabletop
looms and spinning wheels.
Sit by these artisans and enjoy
their skills while nibbling on a
treat or two and a cup of coffee
or tea.
If you want to be immersed
in color and art, Wiegardt Stu-
dio Gallery is a must see. Floor
to ceiling, paintings bring color
on top of color throughout

At Eric Wiegardt’s studio, en-
ter one of three downstairs
rooms to find unframed and
framed original paintings by
Eric Wiegardt.
Bay Avenue Gallery is a
hub of activity all year round.
Sue Raymond and her art
squad of painters, potters,
jewelry designers, knitters,
woodworkers and artists have
a bright event planned that will
help bring the feel of spring a
little closer — for at least one
day. The gallery is planning a
Yarn Bomb, a form of street
art where yarn in any form
is attached to an object in the
public environment. Plans
began last summer when Ari-
zona artist Katie Bechtel began
working with local artist Lisa
Mattfield. The first piece will
cover the gallery’s downspout.
