A few weeks ago I attended my first Michigan Antique Festival in Midland. It has been a tradition for Josh's mom and two of his sisters to attend the festival every spring/summer. Although I have been invited to go before, this is the first year that I could actually make it. We got there bright and early, just a few minutes after the festival opened (this involved waking up at 5:45 on a weekend, a big deal for me!). I had no plans on buying anything and was just along for the ride.
Sarah got a really great table for her basement along with metal address numbers to make her own wall clock. Can't wait to see the finished product!
Emily got a few old books including Jane Eyre. One of the books had an old school newspaper in it. It was hilarious to read the school gossip! She also got crystals for her Christmas tree.
Karen got a shelf for her office...I mean Sarah's bedroom;).
I did end up purchasing one thing for Josh, an old thimble shelf for displaying lego characters.
After getting rained out at the festival, we went to eat at Bennigans (another yearly tradition of theirs). Josh, Matt, Dan and Maggie were waiting at the restaurant to surprise Josh's mom for her birthday. We know she wasn't expecting them because she was calling Maggie to tell her to take out some frozen pulled pork for dinner.
It was a great day and I am looking forward to being part of the tradition for years to come! Below are a few pictures from the day.

Sisterly love:)
I thought it was cute that their rain coats made an ombre effect.
Karen made friends with a couple of puppies.
The dark brown shelf is going to be the lego character shelf.
Karen talked the seller down from $5 to $3 :)
It was a very classy festival.

Above the desk is the finished product of the shelf Karen picked up. It looks beautiful in the office!
Emily's cat and dog were just as interested in the old newspaper as we were!
