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!

10 Days and Counting Down: 'Tis Country
Today's Positive Eye On Small and Local:
'Tis Country in Mount Clemens.
When I think of Sunday, I often think of those long rides in the country. What a warm and cheery way to spend ones time, huh? Well, I get that same feeling every time I walk into this shop. They have all manner of fine things to give that homey feeling to any spot one could want it, whether it be kitchen or man-cave, dining room or front porch, living room or ice shanty. I shot a short Tout video to give you an idea of the wide variety of things they have to offer which lend that old fashioned charm to any place, in or out of the house... but your best bet would be go pay them a visit at 55 Macomb Place, and see for yourself! Tell 'em I said hello!

11 Days and Counting Down: Gemini Moon
Today's Positive Eye On Small and Local:
Gemini Moon in Mount Clemens.
Despite the countless times I have been in this shop, I am still captivated by the serene atmosphere of the place and the magical allure of all the strange and beautiful things that can be found in it. You will find the friendliest, most positive people there... and not just the ones who own and operate the store; there are also those who regularly do various kinds readings, who teach, and who conduct group activities. I find the most interesting folk wandering in, whenever I am there! Don't take my word for it... check out this short video I shot and go say hello!

12 Days and Counting Down: Max and Ollie's Vintage Boutique
Today's Positive Eye On Small and Local:
Max and Ollie's Vintage Boutique in Mount Clemens.
It was just a little under three years ago that I began my rediscovery of Downtown Mount Clemens, which actually started when I was looking for old friends and former schoolmates as I began to enter the world of Facebook.
In my online wanderings there, I recognized Diane Kubik from my High School days and saw that she was running a small shop, less than two miles from my house, on Pine Street in Mt Clemens. That visit turned into an exploration of her charming store and, in the days that followed, an adventure that would lead me to discover all kinds of strange and fascinating shops around town.
Since then, Diane has moved the shop to a much larger space (65 Macomb Place) and, through her gift for finding the finest treasures, her keen eye for arrangement, and her genuine love for the customers who appreciate these things, has nurtured that small bud of a shop to bloom into the amazing flower of downtown that it is today. Trust me when I say that she makes Christmas shopping easier for me.
Take a look at this short Tout video I shot and see a little of what I'm talking about.

My Haunts in Downtown Mount Clemens... in 15 Seconds!
That's right.
I am going to start at the corner of Walnut & New Streets, head west, turn south down the Cherry Street mall, then east on Macomb Place, until I turn to go north up Walnut, and end up right back where I started... and I will name my favorite places along the perimeter of that block as I go.
In just fifteen seconds.
Ready? Set...
Here I go!

The Gift Shop at the Anton Art Center
I've not been by the gift shop of the Anton Art Center in a while, so I think I will wander by there before I go check out all the delicious wares offered at the Mount Clemens Farmers Market (which is in the adjacent parking lot, every Wednesday from 3:00 - 7:00pm).
I happen to know a fellow blogger who writes about the gift shop, so I figured I would share an interesting post from her blog. You may read it here: http://www.thegiftshopatantonartcenter.blogspot.com/2013/08/who-made-that.html
I'd love to elaborate further, but the gift shop closes in less than an hour!
Enjoy!
