The town is adorable and Autumn was in full swing with the leaves changing. The Amish Experience was one of the stores we went into downtown. As far as I can tell a great deal of the merchandise here is made by the Amish. They had some adorable Halloween and Thanksgiving items! The store set out samples of crackers and some dips that they were selling here which were wonderful! Tourist season was over by the time we came through but this motivates me to go on an Amish tour whenever we are back in the area!

In addition to being delicious, the presentation is beautiful. Eating lunch in a traditional farmhouse is perfect for this farm girl. I love the porch, the oak trim, the windows, the fireplace, and the wood flooring plus the simple decorations. What is unique that I have never experienced in any other restaurant. Since it is not a huge restaurant you will always have the same server. She is kind and knowledgeable. There are only three choices on the menu which works for me because I struggle with making a decision.

I called and they did give me a full refund which was great but I am writing this in hopes that more people will say something and the company will go back to the recipe they used before. I heard in the last year or so, they have a new owner and I'm sure their efforts were well meaning, but the lefse now tastes like paper. Please go back to your previous recipe!!!

I spotted Love From Minnesota as I was sitting at Caribou Coffee, which is steps away. After finishing my drink, I paid this store a visit. I like a store that also has Rochester items. I liked the tea towel that pinpointed where Rochester was. When you mention Rochester, most folks think of the city in New York. Nope, that Rochester doesn't have the Mayo Clinic like the one in Minnesota does. There were Christmas items on sale, from socks to ornaments. The pine cone hedge hogs with Santa hats were adorable! There were plenty of sweatshirts and apparel flaunting the state. I loved a geode in state form. It was cool. It also has general gift items, such as punny gnome socks. I spent quite a bit of time browsing everything. I may have to go back and get the cork coaster set that declares one's love for Minnesota. It seems fitting that I should have them. I had a good browsing experience. I'd come back again. (27)

You haven't given me a gift, you've given me an obligation." (Sheldon Cooper, Big Bang Theory) We all know that feeling...the one where you wake up with palpitations, realizing you forgot to order a gift for a birthday, anniversary, holiday, or other special occasion. But no need to make it an emergency...Heart's Desire to the rescue! Sales associates happily assist in finding something within one's budget that won't induce cardiac arrest, but that will hopefully make the recipient's heart grow fonder. From traditional gifts like candles, jewelry, inspirational box signs, and kitchen accessories; to boutique clothing and unique chips and dips for the party animal, this charming shop has Winona area residents covered to help win over that special friend...or get you out of the dog house. You know your heart is in the right place when you give the gift of... Fancy garden gloves! They'll make your bosom buddy bloom into a blossom buddy. #buffyandhildy Wubba Nub nookies for a lil' cub...when you want to give the gift of peace and quiet to new parents (or musical gifts if you delight in torturing them instead). Sarcastic sockwear! For those sassy soul mates who like to wear their hearts on their soles, instead of their sleeves. Souvenirs that scream Minnesota nice, but in a gentle, non-offensive whisper that won't draw too much attention. I think the only thing you can't buy in this gigantic store is the gift of gab. But even if you leave Heart's Desire empty-handed...you are sure to leave with a warm heart. Bonus: Save time and that extra stop for gift accoutrements by grabbing a greeting from the card aisle and asking an associate to gift wrap for you. Rating: BP 120/80
