Back from a little getaway...and it did involve minis!

 DH and I just got back from an overnight getaway to Holland, Michigan. One of today's activities was exploring Wee Dollhouse Shoppe. I only got a few things but these hanging pots just cried out to be on the boarding house porch. Harriet was pleased, lol. We also explored a couple of antique shops/malls.

 Yesterday we visited Windmill Island Gardens. They have a real working windmill that grinds flour for several area restaurants. That tour was really cool. Then we explored the rest of the gardens and found this mini village. It looks like many of the houses are actually vintage.
 The people of the village are doing chores and daily activities all over the town. Churning butter, putting wash on the line, loading boats, etc. It's very detailed.
 Last evening we went to the beach to watch the sun set over Lake Michigan. Our trip was brief but it was a great way to end a very busy week. :-)

Sounds like a lovely little holiday! I would love to see that miniature village first hand! The flower pots look nice on the porch!

Hi De,
I must see that boarding house, the whole thing! It has the same porch railing as my blue farmhouse. Your hanging plants are wonderful, they look good on the porch. Love that swing too!
