You may recall we were there last week with Tristen. Unlike when the hubby is around, Edna and I look at shops. She has wanted to go to the quilt shop and so that's where we started.
Lucky me, I didn't find anything. I still have the stack of quilts to do the bindings and my machine is gathering dust while I work in the garden.
We went to some of the gift/knick knack shops and enjoyed that except for it being so hot.
I had my eye on a few things, especially the stained glass. They were 50% off but what would I do with them?
This was rather interesting, I often wonder what the story is............why?
everything bright and cheerful, and expensive.
some adorable things
I will do a post in English Spirits Pretty things on the glass shop. Wow I love that place.
One does wonder sometimes......sure this will be popular.
We stopped for lunch and shared some fried chicken and home fries. Edna does all the driving so I buy lunch and treats. If we go any distance then I pay for gas. Can't say lunch was that good so won't go there again. We should have ordered the Pizza. Edna wanted ice cream and we were too full, note that we still ate it all. So we went back home via Cedar via Lake Leelanau where we stopped at the Thrift shop. I got a nice bouquet of flowers for 6 bucks so that was good. This for the front porch somewhere. Fake flowers are so expensive and especially for outside so thrift shops is the way to go
It was good to see that at least in Leelanau County there are still a number of Cherry Orchards. Most have been turned over to Wineries.
We stopped in Cedar so Edna could have her ice cream.
Laura and I always stop there. Edna found a new place I guess because she loved her butter pecan ice cream. I just had a milk shake. It was good and so was our day out. My feet hurt from the heat and walking but it was a good day out. My toes look like strings of sausages.

Lol Janice....a string of sausages that's a pretty sight :)
What a lovely day out, you have some neat shops to rummage through, I'm not sure you would have got me out of the quilt store .....
There is an antiques shop in our town, that has the same phone box outside, the owners imported English antiques by the container load, and the phone box was one of those pieces. Weighs a ton !
An ice cream or milk shake on a hot day is always a special treat.

Oh my dear, you are so lucky to live in such a gorgeous spot of the country! And I must say, you don't seem to have much traffic AT ALL. That sounds heavenly.
Wish I could go shopping with you, it looks like such fun! :-)
