Foodie Shopping Spree


We spent last weekend in Saugatuck,
Michigan and in this small village there
were many shops made for foodies!


I have never seen a place like this before,
you could sample olive oils and balsamic
vinegars ~ sort of like visiting a winery.


The spice shop had a great selection
of spices and teas.


I love to watch people make fudge,


and I like to eat it!


I was happy to see Saugatuck had an
American Spoon store ~ I love their
products.  Check out their story and
their products at:


Strangely, we didn't have any great food
all weekend.  Is it because it is a seasonal
resort and chefs can't make it on a 4 month
season?  Maybe all the great food is being
made at home in the cottages and cabins
lining the lakes...

Road Trip

Saugatuck, Michigan



We are on a quick weekend road trip to
 the pretty little village of Saugatuck, Michigan.
It is only 4 hours from our house and a nice
escape from the heat wave we are experiencing
at home. 


It is located on the beautiful western
coast of Michigan.


It has many lovely old homes.


The small downtown is filled with
many interesting shops.


We have met up with our family from
Michigan and mainly we have enjoyed
spending time together talking.
And eating...
And enjoying the sunset..
