July in Holland Michigan brings out tourists, friendly locals and loads of color. The shop owners really understand visual abundance.  While teaching at the Heirlooms Rug School at Haworth Inn and Conference Center in downtown Holland, MI we strolled the streets after class hours.  A rainbow of lawn chairs were arranged outside of one shop, the logo for a children’s clothing line was all about color, and the farmers market on Wednesday included artistically arranged produce and flowers. 

All lined up for sale, and pleasing to the eye
