Today, I fell in love with a town called Northville.
My curiosity in Northville has grown over the past several weeks simply because of random events, shopping, and ad agencies I’ve read about that are in or around the town. This past Sunday, however, Brad and I were watching HGTV (we’re addicted to House Hunters) and a show called Cash and Cari came on. The show features a woman named Cari, who runs estate sales as well as hunts for antiques and vintage items for her store, RePurpose. I was reading a book at the time the show came on, but when I heard Cari say something about Michigan, I got out my laptop–sure enough, the shop was within driving distance. And behold! It was decided–I had too many reasons to visit Northville (and no more excuses not to), so I planned a trip.
I got to the town without any problems (a miracle for me to not get lost while driving anywhere by myself), and after driving through an under-construction street and finding a public parking deck with some actual free spaces, I headed down Main Street with two bags (purse and camera), an umbrella, and my sweater. My first stop was RePurpose, and although I couldn’t take photos in the store, there was plenty of charm on the outside waiting for my new camera when I got done browsing.
