The one thing I didn't get at The Rust Belt Market last weekend was the beautiful pottery and ceramics from Almapottery Studio. 

Lucky for me, artist Lavinia Hanachiuc has two Etsy stores to shop from. You can visit them here and here! I just love her drawing style and the slightly dark feeling I take from her work. Gorgeous stuff!

Of course every visit to the Rust Belt involves a visit to Arden Park! Owner Timothy Grebik Jr. has done some changes to the layout of his shop lately and I thought the changes were lovely! Here's some pics from last weekend.

Aren't we cute? All dressed up for Pride weekend! 

The new layout is much easier to walk though, inviting customers to come in and take a look! I also love the ladder fixture and the bright, happy tablecloth. 

Love the brightly striped textile, and the Michigan made lawn animals. That little deer is begging to come home with me.

Arden Park will also soon have a station outdoors! So if you haven't visited yet, this weekend is a great time to stop by. I would highly recommend the fresh lemonade. :)

I had a great summer weekend filled with bike riding, yummy ice cream from Treat Dreams, and my personal favorite: searching for treasures for the house!

First stop: The Royal Oak Flea Market

I love embroidered pictures, and I hit the jackpot this weekend. This owl has such delicate embroidery it almost looks like its drawn. Love it!

This piece had a little more wear and tear to it, but at $4 I couldn't resist. While I love all embroidery, I'm a sucker for anything nautical. 

I found this beautiful vintage Vera dishtowel for $2! I'm thinking about turning it into a pillow. 

I also found four vintage photographs for my photo wall. 

Next stop: The Rust Belt Market

I've had my eye on these vintage apothecary jars from Belgium since The Rust Belt first opened. I love the dark amber color, and the shape. They are currently living in the dining room...for now. :)

I've also been admiring these gorgeous mineral pillows from Salt Labs. I had the chance to meet the designer and was pleased to hear that her favorite pillows are the mineral pillows as well!

 I've been searching for some throw pillows for all rooms of the house, and these are so well-crafted and locally made. Make sure to check out her website, she has a great selection!

Keeping the embroidery trend going, I also picked up this gorgeous deer from Featherheart Trading Co, one of my favorite vendors at the Rust Belt. She has a great collection of vintage clothing and home accessories as well as natural body products. 

Speaking of The Rust Belt, check back soon for an Arden Park update and the pottery I'm obsessed with!

What a great weekend! It felt like spring, I got to spend time with Nicholas, and my friend Tim's new business venture opened at The Rust Belt Market. Arden Park is ready to serve all of your container garden and garden decor needs! 

Tim has such a great aesthetic and it was so fulfilling to see his work being appreciated by so many!

I want these mushrooms!

 

Visit Arden Park every Saturday and Sunday this month from 11-7!
