Discovery
Mom and I are always on the look out for new quilt shops. This was the plan when we found ourselves in Warsaw, Indiana. Warsaw is located in Northern Indiana along the historic Lincoln Highway. We found a nice quilt shop, Lowery’s, where we shopped til we dropped. I should say we shopped until we needed a snack. Our trips usually involve Dairy Queen or a search for Macadamian nut cookies. After our visit to the quilt shop, we decided to turn left and see where the road would take us. After traveling through an industrial part of town, we came to a fork in the road and turned right. We were pleasantly surprised to find a lovely reclaimed area. The shops had been restored to be quaint and inviting. We found the nicest little bakery where we bought lemon bars and coffee.
The sitting area of the bakery was so inviting that we settled into leather sofas and read the paper. I visited the restroom and was so intrigued with the decor that I took a picture! I am an odd duck, I admit it. Vessel sinks are awesome! I am always amazed when businesses decorate a bit above the par.
I looked up the history of this village and discovered that all the buildings had been moved as a way to save them and keep their historical value. I am so glad that someone made the effort. We sure enjoyed our visit.

If you haven’t ever gone to Amish Country in Pennsylvania, you have got to go sometime! The hand made quilts there are beautiful!
I love this blog.
I’m not gonna lie, I always find bathrooms that are really decorated interesting. There is this resteraunt in boulder where the bathroom mirror is actually see through, meaning that you can see into the womens, and the women can see into the mens. It’s only over the sink so it’s not risque or anything like that, but it does make for interesting conversation. And everyone is always a little suprised by it.
That sounds like a great little town. Although taking a picture of the bathroom is a little strange.
Seems a bit like a mysterious town to me. You must surely have enjoyed the day there. However, taking a pic of the bathroom makes it more interesting!
Taking picture of the toilet is something new to do.
I have never thought of doing it. Actually, there are some toilet restaurants out there and they are very attractive.
Indiana is the name of a state in the US, right? Sorry for my little knowledge.
