This current shop is actually an old house in a neighborhood where all the old homes are well-restored. I'm sure the house is close to 80 years old. She lived in the basement apartment so it wasn't too bad in that respect. Her new place will have a house in the front with a cottage house (her description) in the back where she's going to set up the shop and, if all goes well, offer retreats again.
She said it's off I-94 near Michigan City (don't remember exact city name).
