Hello Kitty Store
2023 Jun 13
I loved this store so much! Such a treasure trove of all things Sanrio. Additionally, the quality is great! I do miss the old Sanrio store though from back in the late 90's. The quality of the items from there back then is incomparable! I still have photo albums from 98 that are still as good as new.

I heard they were slowly doing away with Hello Kitty and Sanrio at this Universal location. I hope they don't! I would love to be able to take my daughter here before that time comes! It's so hard to find actual, physical shops you can go to and shop for Hello Kitty and Sanrio exclusively. Usually you're hunting for those specific items amongst a sea of countless other unrelated toys and you're lucky if you can find a couple.
I absolutely love going to English Gardens. Its so close to where I live, and their flowers are of such a high quality. I've bought quite a few from there over the years and I am always impressed with how hearty and healthy they are. Also, they almost always have some kind of a deal going on, which is always nice! I must, much, much prefer flowers from English Gardens over flowers from the commercialized big box mega-stores
Meadow Brook Hall
2023 May 30
A hauntingly beautiful historic gem. By far one of my favorite places in all of Michigan. I have been to Meadow Brook Hall so many times over the years - first with my Grandmother when I was a child, and now I'm taking my own kids there.

No matter how many times you go, there is always something you missed before that is new. The attention to detail in the architecture and design is like that of the estates of European aristocracy.

A beautiful place for weddings, a gorgeous display around the holidays, stunning gardens in the warmer months, and in the fall the gardens are the aesthetic of a living Virginia Woolf poem. Such an incredible place for photography.
