Artists Leslie Putnam and David Bobier and Collectors Sarah and John White invite four to brunch at their unique cottage homes on Fanshawe Lake. Start the day with a studio tour then settle in to enjoy an exquisitely prepared brunch at Sarah and John’s amid their extensive art collection. Following a stroll of the grounds, head over to Leslie and David’s for delicious dessert at their 150-year old peg and beam cottage.
You’ll go home with a full belly, good memories, a basket of fresh veggies from the artists’ garden.
