Take a peek inside the Amish Country Store at the Iowa Welcome Center.
I bought a cute pillow and some raspberry jam last time I was there.
Isn't the toy barn cute?
My new pillow in a favorite reading chair.

I have shopped in Amish stores also...and what fun they are! Thanks for sharing it!
ReplyDeleteOne of these days I'll have to learn how to make a mosaic - they are such fun to look at!
ReplyDeleteThat Amish store looks wonderful - I think I'd spend a good long time there and would be bound to come out with a basketful of goodies.
Hello nice to meet you!
ReplyDeleteThis crochet thing is very addictive!
Joining in new colours is easy, I have found 'you tube' really helpful.
Check it out if you get stuck reading the books.

How fun! I would love to visit Amish country. Thanks for giving us a little virtual shopping trip!...Debbie
ReplyDeleteHello again! I wanted to thank you for stopping by today. I was hurting a good deal yesterday (weather change coming...today it is snowing), but when I saw that prayer plant blooming it really did make the day special. The older I get the more I am realizing that it is the "little things in life" that really make the difference for me.
ReplyDeleteThat store looks like one that I could spend a few hours in!!! Thank you for showing us. I really liked all the vintage towels it looked like. Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteBlessings, Linda
The name of your blog caught my attention so I came over for a visit. I love flowers and gardens.
ReplyDeleteThe cow pillow is so cute, you made a great purchase.
love your new pillow!
ReplyDeletei haven't the foggiest idea about 'linking to another
blog'. i don't even know how to do that!
something bizarre is going on.
thanks for visiting my blog. hope to see you again!
oh, i'm such a nit! i went to 'little red house' and saw
ReplyDeletewhat i did. i signed up for something i knew NOTHING
about...which pretty much sums up my experience
with blogging.
will try to undo my mistake!
I would love that store! My kind of things! Enjoy your day! Twyla
ReplyDeleteI really like that pillow! We lived near an Amish farmer's market at one time, and I used to love going there.

Hi, It's Elizabeth of Creative Breathing. What a lovely blog you have. So many inspiring things to see. After seeing your Gnome post, I must tell you to be sure and visit Paula Clare to collect your Gnome Tag she has made. They are just wonderful! The Gnome images you shared are so lovely. Thank you so much. Elizabeth
ReplyDeleteVery pretty things. I love the look of all of the homemade and handmade items. The pillow is adorable, and boy does your chair look comfy :)
ReplyDeletei really like your mosaic, I especially like the baskets...I am funny about the fact that I only like things with a use, I am not much into stuff just sitting around but if you have something that is beautiful and useful....sign me up!
ReplyDeleteI tried to post a comment earlier.. oh my darn computer :) I do love the mosaic and that shop looks like somewhere I need to be NOW! Thinking I need a comfy cozy chair like that too. -Tammy
