Hi Friends! I'm in Indianapolis right now attending the Delta Faucet Maker Blogger Event. I figured this was a great opportunity since Nick & I bought a house and are looking to fix it up and everything - what better way to view everything than at the headquarters of one of the leading faucet brands! So excited to be visiting a new city, and one of my good blog friends is here too - Brittni from Papernstitch! Any recommendations for things to do while I'm in town? You know I love antiques and food ;) Will be sure to report back on my trip here.
You should check out the Flying Cupcake bakery while you're here. I hope you have a fun trip!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely the Flying Cupcake, my roomie used to bake there! And also Midland Antiques!
ReplyDeleteMidland Arts & Antiques Market
907 East Michigan Street
Indianapolis, Indiana 46202
The Botanical Gardens are pretty awesome too, if you can get there before the heat comes :)
Enjoy!!
You're so close to me!
ReplyDeleteHit the Art Museum or the Children's Museum if you have time. They're both amazing and wander through Noblesville and Broadripple if you're looking for some fun architecture. I haven't done the antique scene down there, but there's great food everywhere.
How fun! I love Indy- definitely a fan of the place. If I can think of any good places to eat, I'll tweet you! Have so much fun!
ReplyDeleteWelcome to Indy!
ReplyDeleteI agree with the gals above, go to Flying Cupcake and Midland Antiques in downtown. The Art Museum has the Lilly Oldfields house which was Mr. Eli Lilly's house that he donated to the museum and it's gorgeous. Hope you guys have a great time while you're in town! If you're in the Carmel area, drive by the Palladium, our new performing arts hall. I work there and even though we don't have shows going on right now, it's a great piece of architecture!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, yes, Midland Arts and Antiques is a must-stop!! Broad Ripple is a great little area for shopping, too.
ReplyDeleteI highly recommend Cafe Patachou for breakfast/brunch and Bazbeaux Pizza for dinner (my favorite is the Garden pizza!)
You could see the shops on Mass Ave on your way to the Flying Cupcake. You could also check out Homespun Modern Handmade on Washington St in the Irvington neighborhood. There's also the Indiana State Museum and the Eiteljorg downtown. You could also come look at me at the Robert H McKinney IU School of Law, but that's probably not so exciting.
ReplyDeleteIs the event in Carmel at the headquarters? If you're going to venture away from that area, Borad Ripple good, Irvington area where Homespun is great. If you want wine and have the time to go even further away, I highly recommend going toward Bloomington, IN and hitting Oliver Winery-the grounds are beautiful and the wine isn't too bad either.
ReplyDeleteHave a blast, that map is so cool! I'm kind of obsessed with city maps myself :)

ReplyDeletea beautiful city to enjoy with walking on the downtown canal, wonderful art museum and cozy neighborhoods such as Broad Ripple. Eats: Yats for some awesome cajun, Bazbeaux pizza and Rathskeller beer garden is also a great summer place for entrainment as well as german food. enjoy!
ReplyDeleteIt was a pleasure to have had the chance to meet you at our DIY/Maker roundtable discussion at the office yesterday.
ReplyDeleteCheck out Brugge in Broad Ripple! Whenever I'm in town, I have to stop by to have an order of fries and the Triple de Ripple beer- delicious! Enjoy Indy!
ReplyDeleteHave partners been assigned? I haven't received an email. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteIf you have a car and some extra time, I would HIGHLY recommend visiting Bloomington. Bloomington is full of great food, antiques, and people. I think you would love it!
ReplyDeletewere we supposed to have our info for the lovely package exchange because I haven't received anything...
ReplyDeleteI was going to ask the same thing tenika did,
ReplyDeleteOoooh, such an awesome city! Hope you're having a great time!
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a good trip, and good luck with doing up your house! My husband and I are also doing up our house.
ReplyDeleteI am now following your blog, you can follow me at thecottagediaries.blogspot.co.nz

Helloski friend, it's always such a pleasure to re-visit you because you are an explosion of awesomeness. I hope Indianapolis is a great adventure and am looking forward to hear all about it!
ReplyDeleteIt's so hard for me to single out just one item from her shop, but if I just really had to pick one, it would be the Layered Star Sterling Silver Bracelet.
