Thanksgiving weekend is a lovely time to get out and see Digby County dressed in fall colour.

The trees are turning gold, red and orange, and the familiar roads have a way of showing you something new around every bend. Take the long way, follow a road you haven’t tried, and give yourself time to enjoy the views along the way.

There’s plenty to be thankful for out here. #visitdigby #visitnovascotia

From the first marks to the finished wall, watch the mural at @fancyjewellersannapolisdigby come to life.

The harbour, the sea and so many details of life here have found their way into this new piece. Thank you to the artists, @swadeowens and @vbrumwellart, and to @swnovamuralfest for bringing the mural to Digby.

You forget how quiet quiet can be.

No traffic. No streetlights. Just the stars, the sound of the wind in the trees and the soft glow of the domes at night.

We’ve spent the evening making s’mores, talking, laughing and looking up at a sky that seems to have a lot more stars than the one we usually see.

There’s something really lovely about having nowhere else to be.

Good night from @sissibooriverretreat . We’ll see you in the morning.

Sometimes getting away isn’t really about where you go.

It’s about slowing down long enough to sit by the fire, make s’mores, talk about everything and nothing, and stay there a little longer than you planned.

Tonight at @sissibooriverretreat , this might be our favourite part of the stay so far.

Although the hot tub is putting up some serious competition.

What if your art actually did something?

Not everyone is looking for something to hang on a wall. Sometimes you want something beautiful and useful.

A lamp that lights the room. A ceramic mug you reach for every morning. A vase waiting for flowers. A hat you actually wear. A purse you carry everywhere. Coasters, baskets, bags; pieces made by artists that become part of everyday life.

That’s functional art.

It’s proof that art doesn’t have to sit behind glass or wait for a special occasion. You can wear it, carry it, fill it, light it, drink from it and use it every single day.

And there is a LOT of it at @bluemindgallery .

Okay, we know. It’s September.

But hear us out… stocking stuffers.

We found a whole collection of little treasures at @bluemindgallery for $15 and under — and suddenly getting a head start on holiday shopping doesn’t seem like such a bad idea.

Small, locally and Maritime-made finds that are affordable, unique and a whole lot more interesting than another gift card.

Of course, nobody said you actually have to wait until Christmas.

Everything you see here is $15 or less.

Which one would you tuck into someone’s stocking — and which one are you keeping for yourself?

Think art galleries are only for big budgets? Take another look.

Every single item you see here at @bluemindgallery is under $55.

Original and martime made pieces, jewellery, ornaments, creative kits, cards, gifts and little works of art, all at prices that make bringing something special home a little more accessible.

Because art doesn’t have to be an investment piece to mean something. Sometimes it’s a $20 pair of earrings that reminds you of a trip, something handmade for a friend, or a little piece that simply makes you smile every time you see it.

And yes, we know it’s only September… but if you’re the kind of person who likes to get a head start on Christmas (or any of the gift-giving occasions coming up) there are some pretty great stocking-sized finds here too.

Art for every budget. And gifts that don’t feel like everyone else’s gifts.

Swipe through to get a closer look at Carmen’s picks — everything you see is under $55.

If this old barn could talk, it would have quite a story to tell.

It has stood on the hillside above Bear River since 1883, back when this was a dairy farm and the days here looked very different.

There would have been cows to milk, hay to put away and chores that couldn’t wait simply because it was cold or raining. At the back of the barn, cattle sheltered in the open area beneath it, protected from the weather by the great old building above.

People came and went. Seasons passed. The dairy farm eventually disappeared.

But the barn stayed. And so did the work.

Somewhere along the way, cows gave way to grapevines, and a new kind of farming took root on the hillside.

Today, that same barn is the heart of @brv_thebear (Bear River Vineyards And Winery.) The old cattle shelter has been enclosed. The cool stone cellar has found a new purpose, and the barn’s four-and-a-half storeys are now put to work in an entirely different way, allowing gravity to help move the grapes and wine from one stage of the winemaking process to the next.

The rhythms are different now — vines to tend, grapes to harvest, wine to make — but they’re still dictated by the land, the weather and the seasons.

And upstairs, beneath timbers that have watched more than 140 years of farm life come and go, people now gather to taste the wine being made here.

The work never really left this old barn. It just changed with the farm.

Plot twist: the museum is also a museum piece.

When you visit the @admiraldigbymuseum Admiral Digby Museum, don’t be in too much of a hurry to get inside.

The historic Woodrow/Dakin House is one of the oldest surviving buildings on Montague Row, with architectural features suggesting it was built before 1840.

So yes, go inside for the exhibits, photographs, artifacts and stories of Digby’s past.

But take a good look at the house while you’re there.

You’ve already started your history lesson before you even open the door.

The Digby jail was built alongside the courthouse in the 1800s. It was and still is used to hold people in custody while they await their trials.

The courthouse was built in 1838, but this building here was built between the years 1908-1910 and it replaced the original structure.

This is just one of our many stops on our free historic walking tours, this week is our last week doing them. Just show up, Tuesday and Thursday at 11 AM and 2 PM. Starting at the visitor information centre, 110 Montague Row.
