Twice is Nice Resale Store: Medaryville, Indiana

Twice is Nice Consignment in Medaryville, Indiana is a bargain lover’s dream come true!

This enormous mom and pop business offers a huge selection of stuff–and you will find something you just can’t live without. Consider yourself warned.

Medaryville, Indiana: Twice as Nice

Pulling up into the spacious parking lot in this small Indiana town, you can’t miss all the stuff.

Kids toys take up a whole lot of space: from riders to walkers to trikes and bikes, any kid of any age could probably find something to bring home! Once you head inside, you’ll find even more kid and baby things–starting with a massive rack devoted to clothing and loads of toys.

But it’s not all about the kids. There are racks of name brand adult clothing, shoes, home decor, a smattering of Indiana antiques, and so much more.

Thrifty Fun in Indiana

Twice as Nice Resale Store: Medaryville, Indiana

You may not know it, but I love board games. I mean, I love board games!

We have quite a collection and a day doesn’t go by that I don’t play something with my kids or the kids next door. Whomever I can get.

So when I saw a sign labeled “All games $1″ you better believe I put down the camera and rifled. Oh, and purchased! What a deal.

I just couldn’t pass up the chance to add in a few vintage games to our rotation. How fun is that?

Go There

Twice is Nice Resale Store: Medaryville, Indiana

The owner of Twice is Nice says she receives a lot of traffic from the nearby campground–folks who forgot to bring a certain item and hope to find a gently used replacement.

But I can tell you this: There’s nothing skimpy about this giant shop. At six years old, this mom and pop is going strong!

If shelves, racks, and boxes full of things just waiting to be looked over sounds like a good time to you, then Twice is Nice is the shop for which you’ve been waiting!

little Indiana: Keep Calm and Travel Indiana Free Subway Art Printable

Jessica Nunemaker — Fri, 18 May 2012 14:00:00 +0000

Travel Indiana RED Free Subway Art Printable by little Indiana/Jessica Nunemaker

Keep Calm and Travel Indiana Subway Art Printable is absolutely free–and created by me, myself, and I!

Since I don’t have a crafting bone in my body (Candie Cooper I am not), this is the closest I have ever come to creating something I am totally and completely in love with since the pet rock I made in Girl Scouts. Just to test it, the red version has been sitting, framed, in my living room for the past month. Yup, still in love!

Keep Calm Free Subway Art Printable

I take great pride in my state. I guess when you’ve been to so many little Indiana towns and met so many incredible people along the way…well, your state doesn’t seem quite so impersonal.

Indiana is not just a farming state. It’s not just an Indy 500 kind of state. No, it’s a friendly state. A place where people still wave, smile, or at least give the head nod while walking past you downtown–if they don’t stop and ask you how you are doing outright!

It’s where Summer nights are spent on porches watching the world go by. Where everyone is so interconnected it can take a lifetime to figure it all out!

So, enjoy. Download these freebie subway art printables on your home printer and give yourself the constant reminder that the state we live in is pretty darn great.

If you need more of a reminder, watch the What is little Indiana video once or twice. That will certainly give you the inspiration you need!

A. Dattilo Fruit Company in Madison, Indiana

Jessica Nunemaker — Wed, 16 May 2012 14:00:00 +0000

A. Dattilo Fruit Company: Madison, Indiana

Walking around downtown Madison, Indiana, an old-fashioned looking fruit cart caught my eye.

So in we stepped to A. Dattilo Fruit Company in the heart of Madison.

Madison, Indiana: A. Dattilo Fruit Co.

I felt like I stepped into an episode of Sesame Street! A green grocer right downtown? Incredible!

What was even more incredible were the prices and selection. But I guess after being around for so many years: you know what you are doing.

For over eighty years they’ve been keeping this Indiana town (and beyond) well stocked in fresh fruit and veggies.

An Apple a Day

A. Dattilo Fruit Company: Madison, Indiana

Here at A. Dattilo Fruit Company, you are surrounded by Indiana history. I don’t just mean the sheer age of this Indiana fruit market, either.

You can’t not notice the town memorabilia posted up around the walls. What great photos!

That’s what I love about small business like this one in Jefferson County, those mom and pop shops.

There aren’t any strict guidelines to follow, no corporate rules to go by–if it’s something that a small biz owner likes and enjoys…they put it up.

To me, that’s infinitely more interesting! It’s never been more apparent than here.

Go There

A. Dattilo Fruit Company Gift Basket: Madison, Indiana

Pop in and get some fresh fruit and veggies or a gift basket to surprise loved ones at home.

This downtown green grocer is definitely a surprise–and a unique addition to the beautiful downtown!

What is little Indiana? Travel Video in Wabash, Indiana

Jessica Nunemaker — Tue, 15 May 2012 14:00:00 +0000

What is little Indiana? If you’ve ever wondered where the idea for little Indiana came from, what our trips look like, and want to take a peek at Wabash, Indiana–this video answers all.

I’m excited to announce the release of the travel vignette produced by Jesse Harper of JBH Productions! And, yes, that is my very own front porch.

Travel Video in Wabash, Indiana

This is only a taste of what’s to come! Remember the little Indiana travel series pilot pitch has been filmed and is currently in the editing room. So, think of this as a warm-up, an introduction of what’s ahead.

We’ll need your help to make that dream a reality!

Can you imagine if we could little Indiana it up in your town on camera? If I could do more than show you a photo of the great places I’ve been but to present you with video?

If I could take you through scenic downtown Madison, or Nappanee, or Vevay all on film? If I could get some of our best festivals, like Charley Creeks Arts Fest, Earl Park, the Potato Creek and Strawberry Festival, or Delphi’s Transportation Festival (and about a hundred others) in the face of a different kind of audience.

Pretty neat, don’t you think?

This Hoosier Needs Help

little Indiana Video

We will have to show those TV folks that people DO care about little Indiana–that there are enough shows about Paris and London and that it’s time for something different. Small towns are destinations, not drive-throughs. Let’s show ‘em the truth about small towns!

How can you help? For starters–watch the video on YouTube. Like it, comment on it, and share it with your friends!

The more views we can get on THAT, the better will be our chances later when the pitch is done and we start sending it around. We’ll have concrete evidence that folks WANT to watch video about Indiana towns (but we already know that, right?).

Stay tuned to little Indiana. Sign up for the newsletter and “like” the little Indiana Facebook Page to wait for your chance to help get little Indiana on TV. Small towns are anything but dull and boring–wouldn’t it be great to SHOW everyone the truth about them?

Boner Bridge is a phenomenal bridge.

This Indiana bridge is very tucked away in Hatfield, Indiana–but completely worth the trip. We got lost as usual, but wow–what a bridge.

Still in use today, it’s an amazing Indiana attraction. They just don’t make ‘em like they used to!

It’s easy to miss a little Indiana article here and there. But have no fear, the weekly recap is here!

This week was a busy one! From a small town art gallery that’s big on selection to a train museum to an Indiana winery, here’s an easy way to get your Summer travel groove on.

little Indiana Week in Review

Monon Connection Museum in Monon, Indiana

Gallery on the Square Artists Co-op in Danville, Indiana – This gallery offers fine art, pottery, wood-working, and more from quite the range of local artists!

Chocolate Cupcakes Recipe – There are chocolate cupcake recipes, and then there are chocolate cupcake recipes! This one really takes the cake.

French Lick Winery Free Wine Tasting in French Lick, Indiana – Embarrassed by your lack of Indiana wine knowledge? Me too! But don’t worry–the friendly folks at French Lick Winery will help you out!

Jasper, Indiana: Dubois County Museum – Allow two hours for this massive museum! From tractors to trains and even a full-sized log cabin, I don’t think they could pack anything else into this amazing attraction.

The New Kitchen Store Images from Walkerton, Indiana

Jessica Nunemaker — Sat, 12 May 2012 14:00:42 +0000

The New Kitchen Store in Walkerton, Indiana is wall to wall kitchen goodies packed inside of a small Indiana town shop!

This Walkerton, Indiana shop is the best of both worlds: the large selection you like to browse through (you know, what we commonly, if not wrongly, assume of big city shops) with the service and hometown friendliness of small town.

So pop in, give yourself time to browse–and make sure to leave a bit of time to chit chat with the owner. After all, one of the perks of mom and pop shops are the people!
