"Jim Vojacek sells his art glass at galleries in Duluth and Bayfield, and I have two of his vases in art-nouveau swirls of blue and green.

I was dying to see the mother lode. But when I walked into the gallery, my eyes nearly popped out of my head.

 

Needless to say, I spent some money. In this corner of northwest Wisconsin, there’s more to do than paddle."
