If you haven’t stopped into The Red Dresser in Traverse City, get yourself there immediately, if not sooner. The year-round market located at 1253 W. South Airport Road in Traverse City features a beautiful collection of unique home and gift items created by local artisans. You’ll find vintage clothing, signs, hand-painted furniture, jewelry, and so much more from the 55+ vendors there – and at very reasonable prices.

My friend Marge Long is one of those vendors. We both grew up on the Old Mission Peninsula, have gone to the same church forever (Old Mission Peninsula United Methodist Church), and my husband Tim and I bought our property from Marge’s parents, Ed and Jo Brown.

When I stopped into The Red Dresser to take some photos, I met Erin Harrison-Zoulek, who also has Old Mission roots. In fact, we figured out that we’re related! Tim’s grandmother, Clarissa Boursaw – her sister Lucille married a Zoulek.

My other connection to The Red Dresser is jewelry designer Carol Murray, who founded and is a therapist with Lakeview Counseling. Carol is an amazing therapist who’s helped me through some challenging times over the past decade.

Take a look at a few photos from The Red Dresser, and for more info, call (231) 929-8150 or visit their website. Hours are 10:30 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Saturday.
