Antique fans are shiny toys. Perched like rare birds on glass display shelves, they preen with gleaming metal blades, polished chrome safety cages and glowing varnished wood holders, attached electrical cords neatly coiled at the ready. When I heard about the Antique Fan Museum, I imagined something like my grandmother’s attic with dusty old appliances [...]

Approximately one hour south of Indianapolis and easily accesible by State Road 135, Nashville, a town that has no mail delivery, is a surprising hubub of activity.

I overheard someone’s off-handed comment recently that “we can’t all be princesses”. While that might be true, when I have went to the Disney on Ice, Dare to Dream performance, I was in the company of more princess than I have ever seen at one place, at one time.
