Good Monday to you! Lately I have been in a creative slump! For some reason I've been having a hard time getting down to my basement to paint and create. I think a lot of it has to do with the warmer temperatures and wanting to get out and ride my bike and garden and play outside, but also I think that school is coming to a close and we have been busy preparing for Ellie to graduate 8th grade and move on to high school! Where has the time gone!!??!
So today was a good day to get out of the house and go on an "Artist's Date"! An excursion to explore and take in all the eye-candy that is out there, in hopes of sparking my creativity. My absolute favorite place to go on an Artist's Date is Found Gallery, in Ann Arbor. This store, run by a sweetheart of a woman named Mary, is full of beautiful handmade artwork from Michigan and Chicago, unique jewelry, antiques and my favorite part of the shop is the ephemera, which I often use in my work. Mary scouts the globe for flea markets and estate sales and brings all her treasures into the store for sale. I love to sit on the floor and go through all the bins of old postcards, books, games, photos, etc.!! Then of course, head to Zingerman's Deli for my Turkey sandwich. :)
I thought I would share my favorite place with you, in photos...I know you will fall in love with it right along with me. ENJOY!!!

Thanks so much. I always love it when you stop by! Mary at FOUND
