Our everyday lives are filled with crazy schedules. Strolling through antique and vintage shops is a great niche hobby that allows us to slow down, and in a way, venture back in time! Grab an over-sized coffee and mosey around sifting, scouring and rummaging for local treasures you won’t find in any retail box store.
The selection of vintage and antique shops in Hendricks County, Indiana, has grown in recent years. There are so many different types to choose from: furniture to décor to toys and everything in between. Here is a list of some popular local options.
Outta the Shed

This Plainfield shop offers an older spin on their items and carries primitive products. That means the items, commonly from the 1800s American country, include handmade tables, desks, dressers and chairs before the era of mass production.
They often have interesting carpentry techniques we don’t see anymore, such as dovetail joints.
The style here can be described as shabby cottage or eccentric farmhouse style with tons of treasures in between.
