fanciful fenton michigan

If you live in the metro Detroit area and want to take an afternoon road trip, I’d recommend exploring Fenton.  It’s a quiet little town filled with some charming shops and a delightful restaurant called The French Laundry. 

Some of the shops I like to peruse include The Iron Grate, (shabby chic gift boutique with a great atmosphere) Sweet Variations, (old time candy shop) and Barefoot Thyme.

There is also this quirky antique shop called Yesterday’s Treasures that is filled with lots of curious finds.  I’m not a huge antique collector but I do enjoy seeking out unusual & interesting goodies.

I loved looking at all their silly salt-n-pepper shakers.
