It's very small (like a long hallway) but it's put together so thoughtfully and doesn't feel crowded at all! Lots of unique gifts at a good price for anyone you can think of - mom, MIL, coworkers, friend who just had babies, etc. The woman that was working (I think it was the owner's MIL) was the sweetest person ever!! So kind and helpful! I'll definitely be back!!

It's a very small shop but packed with so much character and a carefully curated selection. The owner greeted us with such warmth. She explained where she sources items from- all over the world but a large amount come from artisans in United Kingdom. This is a perfect place to come get a gift for yourself or someone else. I found a candle holder which I have been looking for one. The owner gave some tips on how to burn candles in it which is so helpful. The store was decorated for the holidays and playing Christmas music. It was so great and I'm glad we found it and were able to find some amazing items. I will be back!

But did you know they host a smaller version in December, which just so happens to (smartly) fall on First Friday? The one in June can be very hot and very crowded, so I preferred the wintertime version, although there were not as many vendors. The crowd favorites were still there, like Newfangled Confections, Homespun, Crimson Tate, Farizula Designs, Silver Linings Jewelry, Hoosier Proud, USI, Revival Food Co...the list goes on. Don't forget to check out vendors down in the basement and explore the open studio spaces! I love this bi-annual celebration of all things local and will put it on my calendar for 2016!

Everything from up cycled jewelry and nostalgic candy to local meads and Hoosier themed apparel. It's essentially a one stop shop for all that is quirky and cool. And because I'm always down for some tasty eats, I have to add that you'll find some of the best at the Handicraft Exchange such as Duos, Scratchtruck, LICK ice cream, New Day Meadery, Sun King and more. Parking can get on the crazy side with the Talbott Art Fair going on just up the street. Give yourself time and have fun!

Loudmouth Books is such a jewel!…read more It's a small bookstore that is expertly curated. It sells a bit of everything, from contemporary, romance, LGBTQ and historical fiction, as well as an array of non-fiction, cookbooks, kids, YA and other bits, The clerk who helped us was also quick with great recommendations. It was hard to decide, and in the end I got a novel I had been eying and a book-themed T-shirt. This bright spot -- both literally with its big front windows and figuratively with its wonderful selection -- made book shopping fun. A great spot to visit while in Indy!

I love how vibrant the space is and was warmly greeted the second I walked in.

This shop is located next to Zydeco's on Main in Mooresville. I've been wanting to check out this…read moreshop when we go to Zydeco's but we usually get here after they've closed but not tonight. The shop is adorable, and smells great, with hand-painted funiture, locally made wood decor, crafts, jewelry, clothing, signs, candles, pillows, dishware and more home decor. Something for most homes I would think. She sells a room spray, that sits on the counter, with different scents which can be used alone or you can mix them by simply spraying. I purchased two of them, Oven Baked Oatmeal Cookies and Starstruck, and have been using them together. They last quite a while and my house smells amazing without being overly strong. Check out the pictures posted to see a few of the items she has in her shop. The space is clean and very well organized with spacious isle ways. You'll find adorable home decor groupings and nice displays throughout plus several outfits on display. The clothing by Caroline's Bouquet and jewelry, Silver Dragonfly, is towards the back of the shop. The woman behind the counter, assuming the owner, was friendly and helpful. She answered questions and provided history about certain pieces we looked at. Great place! I'll make a point to visit again.

A new home decor shop opened in Mooresville that has a variety of arrangements, accessories,…read morepottery, knick knacks, and furniture. They sell oils and narrative plaques. Just a wide variety of items. The general character of the shop is rural/comfortable living. The shop is located in the shopping center where the local cinema can be found. It faces SR67, but you have to enter at the light and then drive to your right to get here. Once you drive to the storefront, there is plenty of parking. The shop has a lot of room to grow. There was space at the back, and even in the middle of the shop, there is plenty of space between the aisles. There were two people working when I entered and they greeted me even though they were still working on arrangements. If you are looking for someplace new to get ideas for your home, why not stop by!

The name, Village Trading Post, doesn't really give you a firm idea of what you'd expect to find…read moreshopping here. Outdoors, on sidewalk, are several trellises, flower pots, metal chickens, windmills, gazing balls and other yard ornaments. All, IMHO, were pricey compared to other places I shop. I suppose, as usual, the price depends on what buyer feels is the value to them. Indoors, more of the same but add into the mix older home decor, floral arrangements, posters, knives, small pieces of furniture, several restored traffic lights, life size movie and TV cardboard characters, lot of old video cassettes and more. The owners were friendly, not overly talkative and allowed us to browse at our own speed and not hover. Again, I felt many of the items were overpriced with a few exceptions. The two restored traffic lights were a great deal and my husband always checks out traffic lights. All-in-all, cute little store worth checking out if your into antiques, vintage, distressed and restored items. You'll also find inside, to the right of entrance, a small leather shop with many nice belts, purses and jackets. More under their Yelp Business Name, Hilltop Leather.
