They have a lot of great classes they offer each month. They have a large variety of items from new to vintage and you can really tell the owner is picky with whom she allows to set up in her shop. The shop itself is really big and set up so elegantly you could easily wander and shop for an hour. Kathy's shop is a definite must see when you are strolling around Fortville. I just wish I took more pictures to share but i was so drawn into looking around i forgot. This town is also a great place for some amazing fall pictures or photographers in general. Don't forget to check out the gorgeous benches and outdoor decor while you are there;)

This was our first of the year since we have been busy, but I was so glad this shop had one of the scavenger hunt clues inside or I would have kept missing that it's been here for a year. The shop is filled with so many cool decor and gift items. They also have an upstairs, but I think it was more kid stuff so we didn't go up. Every inch was filled with the most adorable decor. I saw so many really cool things from fun decor signs, kitchen items like dish towels, fun jewelry, note cards, candles, and tons more like throw pills, and wall hangings. If you are looking for a fun gift or cool decor item for your house R4 is a must stop on your shopping trip. I bought a cute bee magnet. I love it!

This quaint little shop was very nice and cute, and had some nice local merchandise and unique nicnacks. I walked through the shop and could tell it had a nice selection of merchandise and the value of the price appeared to be very good. I went into a separate room that had 50% off merchandise, and found a few things that caught my eye which I ended up purchasing. They were kitchen coasters and they were very decorative and attractive looking. The service at the shop was Ok. The woman behind the cashier table was very nice and said hello when I first walked into the shop. When I checked out, she was very gracious and wrapped my kitchen coasters very carefully so that they would not break. Fivethirty Home is a neat shop with great merchandise, so if you are in downtown Zionsville, you should check it out. It is very nice and worth browsing around.

The new location has lots of nooks and crannies for setting up interesting displays and they do. We stopped by while out doing some Christmas shopping and found the store packed with shoppers. Good to see people supporting these small independent shops. They carry about 1/3 vintage items like globes and suitcases and nicely painted furniture pieces, about 1/3 local artisan decor mostly Indiana themed (which I love) and then about 1/3 reproduction vintage filler such as wrapping paper and trendy letter art. In addition she carries a line of high quality chalk paint and supplies. They teach classes on how to use the chalk paint (which I've been meaning to take). The pieces that she finishes are gorgeous - mostly little side tables. Today they carried a lot of Christas themed items. The owner is very friendly and happy to provide advice on painting. She is indeed gifted. The prices on the chalk paints are a little high so I haven't taken the plunge yet until I know I have time to complete a project. I see many customers coming to buy the paint and supplies so they must be happy. There is street parking available and a free lot across the street but it can be a bear to find a spot on a Saturday. They are not opened on Sunday. I'll be back and perhaps soon I'll take one of her classes.

The shop is opened Friday, Saturday and Sunday only. There is free street parking. Their sidewalks were dangerously icy during my January visit, so I had to walk carefully.

This is a gorgeous primitive store in Kirklin, IN, filled with beautiful primitives. If you're…read moreunfamiliar with primitive decor, it has all the charm of farmhouse style but focused on things that are, or appear to be vintage, antique, or handmade. The colors are darker, richer colors than the neutrals of the farmhouse style. For example, primitive style will feature early colors that are dark, muted, warm, and earthy colors that highlight familiarity and weathered beauty. Popular shades on the primitive spectrum are: black, barn red, navy blue, cream, putty, tan, umber, walnut, mustard, sage, and burgundy. Colors are easy to use in a home that loves antiques, Americana, distressed woods, providing a calming, cohesive environment. My dear friend has a primitive home that is stunning and so warm and comforting that it defines primitive. Fireside Primitives isn't a huge shop but has so many of the basic accent pieces and accents to help you either add greenery, candles, candle boxes, lights, bowls and table runners to name just a few of the many items they offer. I fell in love with the covered bridge with lights inside and trimmed out along the edges of the bridge. I'm still trying to find a place for this adorable piece. The two ladies running the shop were super friendly, proud of their shop, and the appreciation I personally had for their decor. The shop reflected all the primitive colors, and you have to stand back when you walk into the shop to take in all the colors, textures, and design. When you're in Kirklin, be sure to stop in Fireside Primitives to see the colors, textures, and lighting that fill this gorgeous space.

She painted a small cupboard for me and did a nice job. The shop is filled with gift items, home decor from furniture to soy candles, vases, greenery, pottery, mirrors, table lamps to floor lamps, Artisan tea towels, wooden lazy susan, artisan dessert plates to framed watercolors to name a just a few items. They even carry a few gifts for a new baby. You can purchase an adorable, sweet swaddling blanket and a precious "My First Snuggled Bunny." To cute!! I was surprised to find the ever popular Taylor Swift designs with tee shirts, stickers for a phone, cooler, notebook, or laptop. As you can imagine, they sell out fast.

The shop was filled with laughter, as clerks removed ornaments from trees. This made me happy. There is a restroom filled with whimsical antiques. The shop is a little difficult to see from the road, but they had banners out to pull people in. Parking is somewhat limited, but I didn't have trouble finding a spot. Well worth a visit.
