An Amish Buggy, Fence, and a Mennonite Sign

The Amish Cupboard

A wonderful little shop where I can get GLUTEN FREE, DELICIOUS, YUMMY bread and other items for my daughter when she comes home for a visit. They also carry lovely handmade soaps and wonderful tasting cheeses.

The Mennonites love their Bible signs. 

They are a frequent sight in areas of this part of Virginia.
(Many thinks to Tom the Backroads Traveler. I first said the sign was Amish, but Tom and Buddy both corrected me...it is Mennonite. The Amish store sits just a little ways from the sign, so I just assumed it was Amish, too. Well, I was wrong. 
Thanks again, Tom.)

A Camera View of the World

I found this old camera at our local antique/flea mall and could not resist getting it. The bottle was a dollar and the fake flower another dollar from the Dollar Store. Made a white box out of an old wooden milk carrier, and found a spot in the house upstairs that get  wonderful “natural" light. In Kim Klassen’s "Beyond Layers" class we are working on simplicity and lighting combined with the use of textures.
