Last weekend I had a mini vacation near Traverse City, Michigan. I visited a mini botanic garden called Historic Barns Park and they had a nice little store with a root cellar. Happy #marketfriday by @dswigle

Here's the ceiling of the hallway leading to the root cellar.

Along the sides of the wall they were selling metal garden ornaments.

Here's a bird design, I'm not sure what type of birds this design conveys.

This one is a plant based motif. These metal designs are hand cut and stamped out of metal oil drums. I believe they are made in Africa.

This design features a nature woman sporting some dreadlocks.

This one features a harvesting theme with some birds in the trees.

This design shows a fisherman theme.

This is another metal cut design that was made by an artist in Michigan.

Here's my girlfriend and her mom in the root cellar tunnel.

The store owner let us checkout the actual cellar but it wasn't too exciting other than the fact that it was built over a hundred years ago.

Here's a shot of the full wall of oil can designs.

The shop was also selling tiles designed by a michigan artist. These would be good to feature sparsely located amongst plain tiles.

Here's a close-up of the hemp tile @amberyooper .

Some jewelry was also for sale. This turtle pendant features a bit of fossilized polished stone.

These concrete polished sculptures were also for sale. I'm not sure what kind of bird can live in here, possibly a wren since the door opening is so small.

Here's a vase made with the same process.

Right outside the barn store there were some nice trails with some interesting nature sculptures made by kids along the way.

These little sculptures were probably made as part of a workshop event at the barn. Unfortunately alot of them got drenched by a massive rainstorm a few hours earlier.

Here's another little sculpture made with some tree bark.

Another sculpture with some smooth stones glued onto a log.

This one has a lawn but the rain destroyed most of the landscaping.

Here's a bonus sunrise on Elk Lake from earlier in the morning where we were camping. Happy #marketfriday
