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!

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

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!

There is nothing easier to make than a S’more–but these S’mores Cookies Recipe, though only slightly more work, don’t require a campfire!

Soft and chewy, they are incredible warm from the oven. It is impossible to only eat one (or two or four, whatev).

What could be more fun to bring to carry-ins or the annual neighborhood block party than these tasty little bites of childhood baked right in? Nothing!

A. Dattilo Fruit Company: Madison, Indiana

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!

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

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

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?

Indiana Blogs: Don Sedberry

Don Sedberry is an Indiana blog named for its author: Don Sedberry!

This blog covers a wide range of topics, from education to technology, to creative writing and the definition of evil (which takes the shape of Teletubbies, and I so agree)–in a thought-provoking and usually humorous way.

Read it not only because it’ll get your brain thinking, but because he married one of my high school best friend’s sister! So, you know, he’s good people.

Indiana Blogs: Don Sedberry

Why did you start Don Sedberry, the Blog?
When I started my current website, Don Sedberry, I didn’t have the faintest idea what I was eventually going to do with it. I started out with an idea in my head that I would post some course work, graphic designs, and make it an online portfolio/resume. How boring!

In late 2011, I started putting together a list of potential New Year’s resolutions. This list continued to grow until it was no longer a list of resolutions but a roadmap for following my heart. I changed my New Year’s Resolution from a convoluted mess into three simple words. “Just Do It.”

Instead of talking about it, I just started doing. I attended writing workshops, I started writing again and I began the blog featured here.

It is my intent that my blog serve as a voice of both my mind and the other “creatives” in hiding who might need just a little gentle nudge of encouragement to pursue their passions.

I’ve been blogging, off and on, since 2002. My other blogs were mostly personal reflections and anonymous experiments in writing styles. This time, I have decided to share who I am without the guise of a pseudonym.

What about that name? What made you decide to blog under your actual name?
In retrospect, I always wanted my website to be a résumé. What better way is there for people to fully understand who I am than to also allow them to see what I am passionate about through my blogging?

What are three of your most favorite posts?
You know, that is an excellent question! I hadn’t really thought about it before now.

• Fear and the Pursuit of Dreams
  This post is about how tough it is to face down your fears and really do the stuff that dreams are made of. I talk about how I dreamed about being a writer and how I always allowed my fear of rejection to shoot down those thoughts in my head. Also, I discuss taking the chances necessary to make your dreams possible.
• Boredom and the Art of Procrastination
  In this one I write about a discovery made in boredom and how what you do when you’re bored being a good predictor for the things you really should be doing. All that “fun” stuff you do when you do when you’re procrastinating is most likely a good sign of the work you really want to be doing.
• Unleashed: A curious bit of follow up
  This is one of my favorites, but it’s not about creativity as some of my other posts are. It covers some of my thoughts. It’s actually a follow-up to a previous post that in which I didn’t quite get my point across. This was one of my learning moments while blogging. I was too afraid of everyone’s reactions to the first post, It’s a Curious Bit of Culture, to write what I was really thinking and feeling. Instead of writing the post that I intended to write I ended up doing a lot of fence-sitting. In “Unleashed,” I get off the fence. I really loved writing the post and learning the very valuable lesson about my writing.

What keeps you ready and raring to post? Why do you blog?
My wife, Laura, can certainly tell you that I have my fair share of thoughts. I am fairly certain that I drive her crazy the way I constantly process and analyze everything from advertisements to song lyrics. With all these thoughts rolling around in my head, there’s usually enough material for three to four posts at any given time.

I write as a therapy to get those thoughts out, to maybe help someone else, and to save Laura from hearing all about it! A teacher I had growing up told me something that has stuck with me for a long time. She told me, (paraphrasing) “It does not matter to me whether or not I reach everyone in the class. It only matters that I reach someone. That someone is all that matters.”

That’s how I view my blog, if it helps one person, if it makes even the smallest difference, I’m happy. If my readers enjoy the post, I’m happy. I’m happy because I am writing.

Are there any topics rattling around that you feel like you should write but have put off because it’s too hard or too soon?
There is! “Education: Why I no longer care about my degree?” It’s tough to write because there are so many factors in the cost of education and so many theories out there. I am very excited about the challenge.

How did you find writing? Have you always been a writer?
As long as I can remember, I have been writing. My mother likes to remind me that there are a couple of sheets of paper in a cedar chest that suggest I’ve been writing stories for as long as I’ve been able to express myself with words on paper.

Does that mean I’ve always been a writer? I’d like to think so. Have I always been true to what I am? No, and that’s why my blog exists. It serves as a reminder to me and hopefully as an inspiration to others.

If you had to name five authors as your all time faves…who would they be?

• Rainer Marie Rilke – A friend gave me a copy of “Letters to a Young Poet” and I can honestly say it changed everything for me.
• Edgar Allan Poe
• Charles Dickens
• Chuck Palahniuk
• Michael Crichton

Is there anything else that you would like little Indiana readers to know?
I truly hope that each and every one of you are following your passions. If you’re not or you’re curious about the journey, please stop by Don Sedberry. There’s bound to be something interesting! You can also sign up for email notifications of new posts.

Finally, I love conversation and feedback. I’m reachable via the website, @DonSedberry on Twitter and don@donsedberry.com. If you have ideas, suggestions or just want to share your story with me I would love to hear from you. Thank you for taking the time to learn a little about me!

Creatively Writing

Do you feel inspired to pick up your pen (or hop on your laptop) and finally start that novel? I thought so! Thanks to Don for stopping by little Indiana today and sharing his world with us.
