We didn't want to start our wine tasting day as soon as we finished breakfast (well, I did, haha,…read morebut whatever), so we went into downtown Palisade to see what there was first. We went into this cute gallery with art from many local artists. It featured different mediums, from pottery to acrylics to woodwork. There was even this little cellar with eclectic art that we might have missed if it weren't for the artist manning the shop that day! We stayed a while to watch him paint as well. Overall, it was a very nice gallery that we enjoyed a lot

I was stunned to find out that when the lady said it would be simple but gorgeous it turned out ugly and bland af.

As per our reservation, the scheduled time was 6:30 and was told to arrive 15 minutes early and we…read moredid. We checked in, lady was nice at the counter, we got our paints, and stood by our painting spots. 6:40 rolls by and a big group comes in without a reservation and she accepts them, she runs around setting up spots for the walk-ins and 6:50 rolls by and I'm frustrated. I think we got started around 7pm. She slightly rushed because she knew she was late. Besides all that, I can see how this is fun and can be an overall great experience.

If you are in the market for silver jewelry - come here. This is a very fun little (really little)…read moreshop that is run by Renee - a free spirit silversmith who makes what she sells. Mostly for sale are earrings, pendants, rings and toe rings. But - she will pretty much make what you want if you don't see it in her displays. Much of the design reflects the local area. So you will see mountains, flowers, peaches, bees, lavender, the sun and more in her designs. My favorite necklace is a sun shining down on a field of flowers. You will never get something more unique and more evocative of the beauties of the Valley than here at Casual Gal Silversmith!

Which means, often lavender. Accordingly, I guess it is usually green in about a month, but strange things are happening- so the bushes already went through one flowering cycle as you can see. This isn't Spanish Lavender which does not smell- it is French. Although it was pretty dry, you could still smell it. They make and sell a lot of their own products- candles, bug spray, lotion, products just for pups, etc. I bought a few things & headed out. fyi- there is a Yurt Bar, probably very fun in summer evenings, but it was daytime & this was a work trip!
