I was rather surprised to find there was not a Yelp listing yet for this hidden gem in Lake County.
I'll be the first to admit, I've driven by the Spring Run farm sign on the Nine Mile Stretch a zillion times. If you are from the area, you know Nine Mile Stretch. If not - 55 aka Grant Street.
So, Wednesday evening, my better half was in from out of state, traveling from a work location, he came up the Nine Mine Stretch and saw their sign. Thursday morning, we found the place. Quaint setting on a "real" farm. We didn't know they were having an Open House and had recently re-opened after the winter months.
By the time we left, the parking lot was packed and the shop was a beehive of activity. When we arrived, right at 10, they had just opened and there were already a couple shoppers. We were greeted sincerely and warmly - and I watched that sincere interest in customers (brand new or established) over and over and over while I was there.
Better half was pleased with antique selection - spoke about it numerous times over the past couple days. As for me - candles galore, gift items - from small budget stocking stuffers to larger items - kept me fully engrossed and I know I didn't see the full shop.
What a wow factor and attention to detail. Customer service was spot on perfect.
If you love going to Brown County, Indiana even half as much as I do - you will be head over heels about this unique antique and gift shop. If you are looking for that special gift, or want to treat yourself - a must stop.
Put this place on your shopping list - I'm betting you'll leave with some unforgettable purchases. read more
