I live about 80 miles from a large Amish community. We love trips there- the food, the fabric shops, the gorgeous scenery. I love it all. I always feel like we stepped back in time for the day and it's very refreshing.
One time my husband got out his camera to take photos of people- ummm..... not a good idea! We learned quickly.
We just bought a gorgeous cherry table made by the Amish for our kitchen. The chairs are so expertly padded- something I could never do as well. And the prices are way lower than any furniture store in Columbus. They do superior work. And a side note- they said it would be ready in 12 weeks and it was! That's rare these days.
