A Visit to Amana


While my husband is up to his elbows in dust from refinishing our floors, the boys and I are enjoying the week at Grandma's house. Which reminded me that I never posted about our trip to the Amana Colonies when Grandma & Grandpa visited us about six weeks ago.


The Amana Colonies were originally settled in 1855 and remained self-sustaining until the 1930s. 


The Colonies are primarily a tourist destination now, known for their wine, cheese, baskets, candy, toys, antiques and other specialty shops.


Enjoy the tour!













Can I make one of these benches?


And I'll take this hutch, thanks!


Love that trunk!







Have a nice day!
