Those magnificent Native America faces, and the visages of the settlers, oh so lovely. AND THE HATS and SHOES, how I would have loved to purchase some of these!!!! To think that someone crafts these things still!

  15. Dearest Linnie!!!!!!

    SO NICE TO SEE YOUR VISIT!

    Well dearest, I am going nowhere to vacation. I need a vacation from my own demands on myself to CREATE GREAT THINGS NOW! I prayed yesterday about my goals and GOd put things into perspective for me. We can always count on HIM to speak to our hearts, our reasoning and our ever-fleeting whims in order to get our feet on solid ground and our souls in heavenly places. HALLELUJAH! And thank you for visiting...hey, how is the move into the new house going? Anita

  16. Linnie, I love going back in time like this. I would be a re enactor, if I weren't so busy in my "other" life. We are currently doing a 10 day show in Virginia, and my favorite section of the show is the Colonial encampment with the re-enactors, So GREAT! Of course, I know we all romanticize the past, it must have been a truly difficult life in reality. Still, aren't the clothes just the very best??!!

  17. I would not have been able to chose my favorite, you did an excellent job with your photos.

    The question that kept going through my mind, was it hot there? If so, the Indians certainly had the best reenactment placement.
