I don't know the name of it, but in German Village there is a craft market (at least there used to be!) in the old school. It is stocked with items handmade by seniors. I've found doll furiture, knitted and crocheted (sp) baby sweaters, doll clothes, PJs for kids. aprons..all kinds of stuff. It might be worth your while to take a ride into town and check it out. Just looked it up... It's called The Golden Hobby Shop at 630 S 3rd. St. Might be just the group of folks you need to meet up with!!
All of us can't wait to retire..then realize what a change in life it is!! Good luck to you!
