quaint downtown rockford, michigan

Since I was in Grand Rapids for a friends wedding over the weekend, I thought it’d be fun to spend some time with my mom and head to the cute little town of Rockford.

My sister-in-law also lives here and has raved about the wonderful fall harvest weekends they put on each year.  In addition to the cute shops & restaurants it definitely is a great place for family fun activities. 

Some of my favorite boutiques are Jade and Paper Doll.  They both carry a wonderful assortment of fabulous frocks, bags and accessories.

Aunt Candy’s is a must stop for a HUGE assortment of unique toys & goods for kids of all ages.

My art fair friend, Apryl Lea recently opened an artsy shop cleverly named Pawsitive Vybe.  She offers an eclectic assortment of goodies for all dogs & dog lovers and also does dog training.  In fact just in the short time I visited her I got some awesome training tips for our dog Samson.

After an afternoon of shopping my mom and I dined at the classic Corner Bar… where you have to get their famous chili dog with all the fixins.  It was a perfect way to finish off a fun day about town.
