Weekend in Harbor Country, MI

We met my parents in Southwest Michigan this past weekend and had fun exploring an area we had never visited in the past. 

We found a very cool old Ben Franklin store.

We went to Warren Dunes State Park and climbed the sand dune.

Here's Jason at the top.

Since it was Easter weekend, we had a good brunch and shared a chocolate easter bunny.

Harbor Country is eight little towns along Lake Michigan.  This is in New Buffalo, by the water.

New Dessert Plates

We picked up the plates that were hand painted by my friends and me last weekend and they turned out so great!  What a wonderful gift and memory.  We're looking forward to serving many delicious desserts on these plates.  Here are a couple of pictures.

Girls Weekend

This past weekend was a girls weekend celebration for my upcoming wedding.  Some of my dearest friends from MI came to visit and we had such a good time shopping, going out to eat, chatting, laughing, and painting pottery!  Here we are with the plates that everyone made for me.  I am so excited to pick them up when they are finished next weekend.    

Here is a closer picture of the plates.  The colors will be much brighter when they are done (I'll post another picture then). 

 Here are a few more pictures from the weekend.  We had such a good time!
