Pa. trip goodies!

I will show some pictures of some of the flowers that I got on my trip to Pa. I would have loved to

taken  some pictures of the greenhouses, of all the beautiful flowers, but the Amish are private and do not like

us Englisher's taking pictures of them.

 I bought some fabric, but am saving it to make some bonnets and crafts. I will post them later, if

I ever have time to make them.

 And here is a prairie dress and apron that I bought. I have been wanting a prairie dress for a long time

to hang on a peg rack. I also bought a few other goodies that I will just show in one photo.

I bought some asparagus, we stopped at a road side stand and they were sold out so the little Amish boy,

just went right to his garden and picked me a bunch, you can't get no fresher than that. We always have to

get farmers cheese and Pa. Dutch Lebonnen bologna.

Love all of your goodies, especially the dress. I would like to make a trip there one day. I really like the little radio flyer wagon as a flower container.

We get our flowers from an Amish greenhouse, too! I put impatiens in my coal bucket. I love what they manage to do and the great prices they have. We get our eggs there, too.
I love the dress and I really love the ticking stars. A beautiful day.......
