Nashville, IN

This will be a mostly pictorial blog and I'm not the best photographer. My feelings won't be hurt if you can't stay the course, LOL!!
Dismal, gray and rainy though the weather may have been, our hearts were light, happy to see each other again, and I had the BEST TIME EVER!!!!
Nashville, IN is located in Brown County, one of the most beautiful places in Indiana. It's an Arts and Crafts community. . .and I mean REAL art! I wish I'd have taken more "outside" pictures and more furniture pictures, but. . .I'm a "foodie", what can I say??


 We ran into a lot of "closed" stores. Apparently they are all about the weekend and we weren't. But this expresses their "laid back" attitude perfectly. Lots of "stuff" is left sitting outside all the time. I suspect there is a low crime rate (the jail was empty).

 This is where we had dinner Monday night. Muddy Boots. The perfect end to a perfectly muddy day. It was good, just not what we expected. We enjoyed a guitar player singing songs from "back in the day" and when MB muttered something about poetry readings and bongos, I struggled with the food in my mouth that I couldn't swallow, nor chew because I couldn't control the explosive laughter that wanted to come out. So I just laughed til I cried.
 They have "stuff" for menfolk too :)



 Not "real" food. Looks good, doesn't it?
 How I feel about our AR Family. :)


 This is what we did that whole rainy afternoon. WE DANCED!!

 Apparently the big dog wanted to go for a ride.

 Those are Keepers. Not real food, but clever storage devices. Too Cute!
 Floor mat in one of the shops.
Creepy Marionette.

 Vermouth Bleu Cheese Stuffed Olives. . . in the Wine Store, of course!


 Cookbooks and recipe holders.
 Cast Iron "words".
 Speaking of Laundry Soap. . .Hogwash!
 The hanging glass orbs are oil lights. . .and the stained glass Irises were gorgeous!
 These water pitchers "glug" when you pour from them.
 Wooden carved Morels.
Painted gourds. The penguins were so creative.









 This Santa sang and danced. . .kinda creepy.


Lunch, just before we left :) So delicious, Reuben, sweet potato fries with brown sugar syrup and broccoli slaw. 
 Lady Sparkle and Magnolia Blossom and our Very Good, Awesome, Delicious, Fun Adventure!!
Thanks Magnolia B.!!!
