Shipshewana

On Wednesday August 5th we went to Shipshewana, Indiana. I wanted to see the Amish community there and it was like a 3 hour drive from Holly's parents. I have been wanting an Amish handmade quilt for my bed for a really long time. We had finally saved up the money. So while we were in Shipshewana we ordered a king size quilt, but there is a picture of the pattern below. I read a lot of fiction books about the Amish and so I am really fascinated by them. They also had a huge flea market there in Shipshewana were the Amish and non-Amish both shop. There was a little bakery where I bought some jam, cinnamon rolls, and this yummy stuff called Chocolate Cashew Crunch basically toffee with cashews but they call it "Amish Crack" because it was so addicting. We went to a bulk foods store too and I bought some yummy homemade pasta. It was super fun to see all the buggies everywhere we went.
