I like old-fashioned and home-made things. I value making things myself whenever I can. I love to learn a little more and improve my domestic skills all the time. I read books, blogs, and articles on cooking, preserving, knitting, and homesteading. Someday, I would love to have some acreage of my own to grow a big garden and raise some chickens, maybe even have a milk cow too.
Because of my love for old-fashioned things, I have a bit of a fascination with the Amish too. I love their simple (yet hardworking) ways. I like sparkle, shine, and the internet too much to ever join the Amish, but I do admire their culture. So naturally, I have been hoping to go visit Lehman's, a store that specializes in old-fashioned and Amish tools. This weekend I am going to go visit Claire in Chicago to help her get ready for her upcoming move and I have decided that I am going to finally stop by Lehman's on my way. It is about half-way between me and Claire, but I usually have the girls in tow with me and they make a long drive so much longer, so I haven't wanted to extend it even more with a bit of a side trip. This time it is just me and I am super excited. My plan is to leave early Friday morning and have lunch at Lehman's and wander around the store for about 45 minutes, then continue on my merry way to Chicago perhaps with a new colander.

Have fun at Lehman's and safe travels! Xo
Lehman's trip delayed until Monday on my way back. Sounds like a delicious Amish dinner for me.
