Shipshewana, IN

We were advised to get to the Shipshewana Flea Market if at all possible.  We found out that it was open only on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, so decided we needed to get there today. (We absolutely won't be here next Wednesday! I'm ready to leave).

The flea market opened at 8am.  We didn't make it there until just before 10am.  It was HUGE.  Below are pictures of the typical booths we saw.

Goose clothes???? Now I've seen everything!  MAYBE!
 

Well after 2.5 hrs of looking around in the heat, we decided we had enough and left.  But not until Dusty bought 2 summer dresses and a sports top.

We were also told we needed to go see Davis Mercantile in Shipshewana.  I wasn't sure what to expect.  We found it in downtown Shipshewana.  If you had not seen in previous posts, we are in Amish country.

 Parking places for the Amish buggies were everywhere.  

 This cute building is the back side of the Davis Mercantile.

There are 3 floors to the Davis Mercantile.  It has several various kinds of shops on each floor.  All the floors are this beautiful wood.  This store had quite a number of family type statues.
 

The 3rd floor had this beautiful carrousel!

What a fun time!  However it was time to get back to MasterTechRV and check on the progress.  You know the squeaky wheel gets the grease.
