Tuesdays with Murphy: Murphy and the Lighthouse

Heart's Content Light House on the Avalon Peninsula in Newfoundland

You don’t need to convince me to go on a day trip exploring something new. The Heart’s Content Lighthouse was built in 1901 and is a Recognized Federal Heritage Building. At only about a half hour’s drive from the cottages, it’s a great place to explore. For a full list of historic landmarks near us, please see here – or guests can simply ask us! And The Berry’s been working on some great fall packages that are worth checking out, too.

Budding Saturday: More from Leonard

Heart's Content Lighthouse

Saturday’s we like to feature beautiful Newfoundland photographs from talented Newfoundland artists. Usually, that means pieces from Bud Vincent. But we have a new artist on board at the Shag It Cafe and Gift Shop – Leonard Howlett. We have his stunning carvings now on offer, but we also love the photography he has shared with us. So I’m happy to share it now with you. This beauty features the Heart’s Content Lighthouse.

And please stay tuned to our Facebook page – we like to feature more work and bios of our Shag It artists there.

Budding Saturday: Leonard Howlett

Newfoundland Lighthouse

We like to feature Newfoundland photographers and artists on Saturdays, to show you a side of Newfoundland that I just don’t have the skills (yet!) to capture. Here’s a new artist to the blog, and, thankfully, one whose carvings are coming to our gift shop at the Shag It. Leonard Howlett is an exceptional artist, and we’re thrilled to have him on board. And thrilled to share this classic Newfoundland scene he captured with you.
