Shop downtown, I dare you.
All right all you Saline friends.
I've had it with people driving out of town to shop. Gas is crazy expensive.
We have so many options here.
If you haven't taken 15 minutes to park and look through the shops downtown Saline, do it. NOW. This weekend. Over Spring Break. Come on.
Do you like where you live? Then shop and eat here. What's stopping you? (there's no excuse, sorry pals). Add your favorites to my list when you blog in.
A - Artisan breads by Steve at Benny's Bakery. Olive Oil, fresh herbs, big city bread right here.
B- books for children, early readers, chapter books, Michigan coffee table books at Calico Cat
C - Cookies, fresh baked, chewy, amazing from Ed's Bread, now with retail hours on W. Mich Ave
D - diamonds- cleaned, designed, appraised at Accent Jewelery

F-fragrant body creams, soaps, room sprays at Calico Cat, Cobblestone Rose or Pineapple House

Way to go, Sue! The downtown is full of treasures just waiting to be found. My favorites include hot pretzels on Saturday mornings at Benny's, Ginger-Lemon Tea from My Favorite Cafe (warm in winter, cold in summer) and the Cherry Ice Wine from Spotted Dog Winery - pour some over ice cream! Even if your pockets are empty, the downtown merchants want to see your shining faces and hear a friendly Hello. Free parking all day, everyday - can't find that in Ann Arbor!
