When in Lindsborg...

Lindsborg, Kansas is a town more or less right in the middle of Kansas, with a population of 3,458... and a bit of a Dala Horse obsession.  It's a college town, so though it's in the middle of lots of farmland, has more than you might expect in the way of coffeehouses, art galleries, museums, and so forth.  And its latest addition to the downtown is a little boutique of hand-crafted and vintage goodies, called "Sarahendepity," after owner Sarah Ash.

Sarah's filled her shop with antique and vintage treasures gathered for her Etsy shops, and has also set up her studio there, so you can watch while she makes her etched and embossed metal jewelry.  In addition to the jewelry, you'll find vintage toys, typewriters (Sarah's a typewriter maven), a bit of Edwardian clothing, and, yes, block prints from PressingNeeds...




 I sent a big box of framed prints to Kansas for the shop opening, and there will be more designs headed there soon.

If you visit that part of the world, drop in and have a look - you can find info, check hours, and see more photos here.  You'll be sure to find something lovely for yourself or a friend - it's a delightfully eclectic selection of items, and a fun place to wander through!

Did you eat at the Brookville Hotel? (Is it even still there?) That's where we had dinner after our 1976 wedding ;--)

Thank you so much for this post! The Brookville Hotel isn't in Brookville anymore. Well, the building still stands but it's not the place it used to be. They moved it to Abilene but they built a building that looks just like the old one and the recipes are still the same. If any of you want to keep up on my new store you can follow me on facebook at https://www.facebook.com/Sarahendepity

Thanks, Sarah - here's to lots of customers (buying lots of prints!), and to getting your studio out of the dining room - enjoy, and maybe one of these days i'll be able to make a visit myself...
