3 Days and Counting Down: Turning Point's Second Hand Rose
Today's Positive Eye On Small & Local:
Turning Point's Second Hand Rose in Mount Clemens.
I often wander into this place (at 158 S Main St, right across from the Mt Clemens Post Office), even when I am not looking for anything in particular.
Back before I lived as close to Mt Clemens as I do now, I discovered the small resale shop in their old location on NB Gratiot. The nice people there told me about Turning Pojnt and what they do to help the victims of domestic and sexual violence. I was still actively employed by a large corporation at the time and what they were doing so impressed me that I made the organization my Charity of Choice, donating a little of my weekly paycheck to their efforts.
Shopping there helps a good cause, but that's not the only reason I go in there. Besides having a pleasant and friendly staff, the place is a real treasure trove of cool and useful things... check it out!

4 Days and Counting Down: PYRO Art Glass
Today's Positive Eye On Small & Local:
PYRO Art Glass in Mount Clemens.
You have no idea how incredibly blessed I feel to have a glassblowing studio and store such as PYRO Art Glass just two miles from my house (123 S. Main). Not only do they create some of the most gorgeous glass pieces I've ever had the pleasure to set my eyes on, but they are the most friendly, good-hearted people around. They love what they do and show it by holding demonstrations during events (or, when possible, even if you just ask 'em) while talking with the customers and onlookers about what goes into this beautiful art. They are constantly inventing new things to make and new ways to make them. While I was shooting this Tout video, I saw the vintage Chevy Bel-Air they whipped up out of molten glass... fantastic!
The really cool part of this is that they are not just a local shop... the items for sale are made right there! You just can't get any more local than that!
No... I did not include the glass Chevy in the video. But, If you get over there quick enough, it may still be around to look at. If you miss it, don't fret... they have a lot of pretty things to please the eye! They also have extended holiday hours. Click on that link and give 'em a ring!

8 Days and Counting Down: Christmas Market at Anton Art Center
Today's Positive Eye On Small & Local:
The Christmas Market at Anton Art Center in Mount Clemens.
Actually, I just wandered into the Christmas Market for the first time, today. I thought it was going to be occupying the space normally reserved for the gift shop.
Boy, did I get a big surprise! What a dazzling display of wonderful things they have... spread throughout all the rooms of the gallery! Of course I shot my customary Tout, but that only gives you a tiny taste of the wide variety of artistically beautiful gift items they have to offer!
The Christmas Market is only open through this Sunday, December 22nd. The Market hours are 10:00am - 5:00pm on Wednesday, Thursday, and Saturday; 10:00am - 8:00pm on Friday; Noon until 4:00pm on Sunday!
Go ahead and check out the fifteen-second video but, by all means, get on down there and see it for yourself! You won't be sorry you did!
