Last week we vacationed in Holland, MI.

We visited the beaches, Windmill Island, Saugatuck and Grand Haven.  But no trip to Michigan is complete with out doing a little local shopping.  The artist community in Saugatuck and Douglas is a great way to find unique art, garden features and housewares.

Shopping locally not fuels the local economy, but mixes up your decor with unique items that become little treasures.

We visited the Holland Farmer’s Market to check out the fresh produce, flowers, plants, pastries and goodies that the locals bring to table.

I found this wonderful deep purple sage wreath for my front door.  The crafter also made very cool wreathes out of dogwood sticks and other branches to form almost a lacy puff ball effect that jumped out at you.

I love the farmer’s market vibe.  It feels good to buy from your neighbors and support the local community.
