Have you quilted, knitted or done anything fun this week.
Well, I have not knitted but some quilting. We have had more losses in our family. A dear Uncle on my Husbands side and a very special cousin on my side. I know many do not take time to honor those by going to memorials or funerals. I have found it helps with closure. I have dealt with alot this past year in the death of many. I find my quilting a place to go and be my happy place.
When I went out of town, I did stop in Manistee, Michigan, they have a lovely quilt shop. The first time I have been there and they have been there 10 years! OK, my life honestly has been crazy the last 10 years. It is funny how God does things and how things turn out. OK, Manistee has a true downtown. It is special to me cause my Mom and my Moms Mom would go there when she was a girl. This is many years ago, my Mom lived to be 90 and she just passed away last January 2013. The stores are made of wood, wood floors that creak, make thump thump when you walk on them. No super fancy neon logos but unique signs of a by gone ara.
Fabric sign you do not see much today
Classy Building, Manistee, Michigan
Fabric show, next to river walk
Movie theatre with vintage sign
Looking down the down town, so many beautiful buildings
I am thankful for the short time I had, it was a very short time there, I am going back this summer.
