If your home is starting to feel a little too… same as everyone else’s, you’ll want to stop by Water Street Commons this weekend. 🌿

Sara Hornick + Heart of Stone Art are bringing the kind of pieces you shop for when you care about the details — handcrafted florals, wreaths, home décor, Michigan-inspired watercolor art, and one-of-a-kind pieces that add personality to your space.

For the person who would rather have one beautiful piece they genuinely love than five things they’ll replace next year.

Or for the person who needs a gift that says, “I actually thought about you.”

They’ll be here Saturday 8/29 & Sunday 8/30 — so if handmade, locally created pieces are more your style, this is your weekend to come wander and shop.
