Yesterday I had a pleasant afternoon puttering around the shops in Shipshewana with my mom. It was just a little over 70-degrees outside, with enough breeze to hear the outdoor windmills and wind chimes keeping beat with the clip-clop of horse hooves.

      You got it! When I lived in Middlebury I would drive there for special lunches 🙂 They even make gluten free pretzels now.

    Wonderful photos! I just love shopping at small, mom-and-pop businesses like the ones you visited with your mom! Makes me feel good that my money is going to people that have not been sucked up by corporate America…and it looks like Shipshewana is miles and miles away from that!

      Not a chain store in sight, Jessica! Lots of hardworking folks and skilled craftsmen.

      thanks! The music shop also had all colors of violins, but I didn’t get a good shot of those.
