Antiques and Handcrafted fiber goodness made with love of all things timeworn and earthy.

There are so many things I love, but this page is for just some of my favorite things. I grew up on a farm in Pennsylvania where I learned to appreciate the simple way of living. I was always surrounded with family heirlooms and the love my parents found in these antiques. Things my parents, grandparents and even great-grandparents used everyday on the farm whether for working, cooking and fixing have become my favorite things. My love for all things handmade, timeworn and earthy inspires me to create from raw wool. I love to wash, dye, spin and then knit or crochet homespun yarn into stylish accessories. As well as inspire others to use their hands and creativity.

For more than 165 years, the Union Schoolhouse has stood as a reminder of our community’s history and the generations of students who came before us.

BASD’s Board of Education authorized a citizen advisory committee to explore the restoration of this historic one room schoolhouse on our campus. This effort is about more than restoring an old building. It is about preserving an important piece of our community’s story and creating opportunities for future generations to connect with our past.

Follow The Union Schoolhouse page, learn more about the project, and follow the committee’s work as this effort moves forward.

🐑 Join us in the 1740 Gray Cottage for a special workshop on Sunday, March 22 at 2:00 p.m. You will make your own wool needle/notions keeper during this hands-on workshop. Rural American women in the 1800s made stitched folk art out of scrap wool and fabrics. Learn how to stitch a penny or perfect your appliqué stitches. This workshop will be led by Hope Horn, a shepherdess, spinner, and fiber artist with a love for history.

Space is limited; to register, visit https://www.moravianhistory.org/
