I completely found this place by accident and next thing you know, I'm inside the store and next…read morething you know is that I've been here for an hour. This place is by far one of the best antique stores I've came across. They got tons of Coca Cola products that I know need a great home to collectors. They got gifts for any kind of hobbyists or anybody that wants to feel like they're in a time capsule. I absolutely enjoyed my time here and I would definitely drive all the way back just to come visit.

The best part about antique shopping is discovering the unexpected in nooks and crannies! I found…read moremyself wandering downtown Chesterton and into the arms of a lovely antique store that mimicked the personalities of the owners. I found a super heavy and ornate crystal candy dish and a top hat! Why of course wouldn't someone want to purchase those two seemingly unlike items. The prices are a little steep, but honestly, nothing I haven't seen at plenty other antique stores. I got more than a fair deal on the two items I purchased. I was more than happy to squeeze between the crevices to unearth "rusty gold." I found my gorgeous candy dish on a bottom cabinet shelf in the far back and my top hat way up high sitting on a penguin. Visit Katie's, if anything it's worth a gander.

CLAUSTROPHOBES, BEWARE! One reason I don't enjoy and/or…read moreappreciate jazz is because there are just too many notes. If I could visualize jazz music, it would look exactly like Katie's Antiques. Wow, this place is absolutely packed with every kind of curio, novelty, ornament, and porcelain eyesore you could imagine. Have you ever been creeped out by watching the TV show "Hoarders"? Then you will certainly get the heebeegeebees at Katie's. I don't think it's an exaggeration to say that customers who are chubby, plump, or portly might have trouble squeezing in between the cabinets and shelves. Basically, it's nearly impossible to actually see the wares offered at Katie's because there's just too much to look at. Your eye can't fall on any one particular item at a time. I'm not a business-savvy person, but I can't imagine this is the desired effect. Another thing I found more than a little strange is the surprisingly large number of porcelain mugs, vases, and steins in the likeness of Ben Franklin and other crusty-looking Baroque characters. It was kind of freaky to see three or four of these ghoulish doodads on nearly every shelf. Honestly, it's the reason I left Katie's without seeing the whole place. Have you ever been in a house of mirrors? It's kind of like that. No thanks.

Yesterday's Treasures is a 2 story antique/thrift store located in Chesterton, Indiana…read more Limited parking is available in front of the store-I parked across the street which I hope is OK. There are stairs to second floor. There is a freight elevator which could be used for accommodation but I did not ask. Aisles are wide and booths are well organized. The front desk staff are friendly and helpful. They offer a free cup of coffee or tea to shoppers. The restroom is accessible and clean. Booths contain everything from vintage clothing and furniture, new and used items and antiques, glassware, sports and modern collectibles, jewelry and everything in between. Prices are very reasonable. This store is very close to Indiana Dunes and Dune Acres. It's a fun way to pass some time and wait for that special item "to call your name'.

Earlier this year, I decided to reignite my inner creative and found the Chesterton Art Center. The…read morestunning gallery featuring impressive works inspired me to sign up for a class called Independent Studies in Drawing and Painting. At first, I barely managed a doodle, but my instructor, Diana Stezalski, encouraged me to see things differently. With a piece of charcoal in hand, I learned to observe more clearly and explore the dramatic effects of black-and-white drawing. Not only did the class provide me with personalized college-level instruction, but I also gained heartfelt collaboration with my peers, learning from each other's disciplines and forging friendships. I've taken a lino cut printing class to grow my skills. CAC offers a wide range of classes at affordable prices I can't wait to dive into my next creative adventure, who knows maybe pottery?
