I spent last Thursday afternoon at the Ann Arbor Art Fair with my friend, Renee, who apparently enjoys outdoor festivals as much as I do. After a slight interstate detour around the 12 Oaks/Farmington Hills area (neither of us happens to be very good with directions, and it just so happens that I was navigating), we finally made it to U-of-M town, where streets of drool-worthy arts and crafts were waiting for us and our wallets. Now, I can’t recall a time when I actually bought something from an arts and crafts show, but I was determined to take home a souvenir or two by the end of the day.
Well, the whole “buying something” thing didn’t happen. I suppose I’m way too good at reasoning with myself when it comes to whether I need something or not. Renee, however, got a few new gems and I got to window shop for a few hours. And, to be honest, some of the best pieces were completely impractical, anyway. Take this woman, for instance:
Hewwo? Helllwo?? |
The perfect backdrop for an art festival, don’tcha think? |
Ceiling inside the alley |
I put that (unused) napkin in my purse when I was done. The recycle symbol and nice message made me feel temporary feelings of anger towards the trash can. |
