On my quest to gather ornaments for my Indiana Christmas tree her lovely felted Indiana ornaments captured my eye and have quickly become one of my favorite decorations on my tree. They also look great hanging on garlands and look beautiful tied to packages. Unfortunately, I did not purchase one of her cute tiny cacti at this event but I did purchase a pair of black plaid earrings (only $8) which I wear all the time and always receive compliments. I liked them so much I quickly snatched up a second pair of blue button style earrings at Homespun. I'm not sure which pair I like better but you typically can't find me without them ear n ear. Looking forward to seeing what's up next from this creative crocheter!

This amazing gift and souvenir shop is located inside the Hyatt Regency hotel, in the lobby area…read more This shop has a vast collection of local made goods. They also have items for some of Indiana's favorite brands like IU, Colts, Perdue. Among the products they have apparels, accessories, home goods, posters, magnets, stickers, cups, mugs, stationary, key rings and so much more. They take online orders too and ship all over the country. Since we love shopping souvenirs, we deliberately planned to go to this store. I found they had 50 states magnets with a map as well. Even though I didn't buy the whole set, I bought about 32 states' magnets. They were decently priced at $5 each. We also bought a picture frame and some smaller items. Jennifer was so friendly and helpful. She assisted me in locating one of the state magnets I couldn't find in the rack. She also packed all our items very nicely. Checkout was quick. While we were shopping there for a while, many other visitors stopped by to get their gift/souvenir. Loved the place and highly recommended.

Also she carefully packed my picture frame with bubble wrap to make sure it didn't get any scratches during my travel. Many sections like magnets, cups, shirts and lotions from the local farms.

A few days before Christmas, I checked Yelp for a great florist and encountered the Rusted Window. I loved that I could see their beautiful holiday bouquets, gifts and decor on their website before ordering. I was able to order everything online and it was super easy and quick. The owner called me the next day with drop-off info and she was so sweet and friendly on the phone. The flowers were delivered on time and my grandma said that they smelled amazing. I was able to add a note to our bouquet too and it felt so wonderful that my grandma got that surprise without me being able to leave the house. Thank you!

The shop has a little bit of everything. Home Decor? Candles? Just Pop in! popcorn? Women's Clothing? Floral arrangements? Yes to all! I will say I was surprised that there wasn't more floor space since it looks rather roomy from the parking lot. But once inside, there are basically two rooms for shopping while the rest of the space is storage area behind the counter. The staff was friendly and offered to assist in finding something. The space was organized and arranged so that it presented the items in groupings that made sense, not cluttered like some spaces. Review #2098

Yesterday, Kara and I were browsing Noblesville shops and found this phenomenal business called…read moreVintage Adventures on Maple Street and 10th, just catty-cornered from the Noblesville Police Station. The entrance is well marked with a black canopy but looks as if it belongs to another place. It doesn't so just enter and turn left. Amie and Chris Knuckles started this business in 2015 as a side business but it has turned into a new career and passion. This small, family run business designs and crafts vintage inspired wall art, home furnishings and custom repurchased furniture. While we were there the laser was inscribing a thermal cup with a Corporate name for employee gifts. It was fascinating watching the laser work on this project. His wife, Amie, was painting other art pieces and preparing the last steps of another order. They create beautiful artwork, corporate gifts, custom and personalized designs down to the point of you bringing in the extact paint color sample to use on your custom order. While in the workshop we saw spectacular hand crafted Desert Cactus Boho Wood Art, Sun Burst Wood Art, Leaf Wood Art, Boho 3-piece Ocean Wood Art and 3-piece Mid-Century Modern Wood Art. They show and sell their work through Etsy and at Logan Village Mall in Noblesville. Visit Etsy to see more of their work such as several Definition and Motivational Wood Art pieces. Instead of shipping through Etsy, just contact them and you can pick up to save shipping or pop in Logan Village Mall to see more of their custom art pieces. If you are interested, stop by the outdoor workshop display window to view the Christmas scenes with the tiny, delicate details down to the names on the Christmas stocking hanging on the mantel. Spectacular detail work! Amazing and unique artwork for your home, office or as a gift. Check them out.

They ended up being part of the special auction held the night before! But I was glad we stopped in to check it. There were soooo many fun décor and gift items. I felt like prices were really good too. I saw several things that would be a fun gift for a friend or myself. They also had some fun smelling candles and have a candle exchange program. I wanted this cute glitter topped box. The sparkle caught my eye. I just got a new little jewelry box or I would have totally picked it up.
