This Little Lady Went to Market

Nothing puts a smile on my face like lower peninsula sugar cookies, tie-dyed roses, and shelled framed Mary and Jesus images. Here's to you Eastern Market: happily reminding this U.P. transplant of the bright colors and images that can be found around the Detroit area.
I went home with 4 burlap rice bags, a cork lamp inspiration idea, and my new favorite snack: vegetable chips from Rocky's.
