for love of the Amish...

One of the greatest joys of living here in western Pa. is the friendship of a wonderful Amish family. Shown here is a shot of myself and 2 of their 5 children. We got together here at our studio to research some Pa. history to meet their homeschooling requirements. They are so great ...

I found some awesome Amish dolls ,wooden signage, and a rocking chair with vintage art (most likely English made ) at a local flea market-I scored at a total of $5 !!! Also included is a jar of homemade concord grape juice canned by my good friend, Irene, who is of course a whiz at cooking , canning, and sewing. You cannot imagine how delicious this juice is, sugarless and so potent !!!! I am continually overwhelmed with the simplicity of their daily life and the peace they enjoy....
