I’m Mennonite, live down the road and was also shopping these yard sales. The dresses are Mennonite, not Amish. Lancaster County Mennonites wear printed fabric designs and use a totally different pattern than Amish for their dresses. Amish wear only solid colors along with black aprons.

We have a small Mennonite community were I live, as well, and I never knew that. Thirty-four years I've been living here and I did not know that. Thank you for telling us. I admit, I feel a little silly but I am very glad to that.

2nd comment - that stained glass lampshade for only $65 is really a steal. My former husband is a stained glass artist & he has made many custom lamp shades (lucky me:) & the time & work that goes into making one is absolutely incredible to me. He recently made one & the cost of the glass alone was over $400. (You have to buy all the different colors of glass in sheets, so it's very expensive, especially if you use any pink glass). The last lampshade he made took him over 80 hours of work (I know this because I asked him to log his hours when he worked on it because I was so curious!). To see these shades sold for so little is really heartbreaking because of how intricate & time-consuming they are to build. Thank you, Karen, for appreciating their beauty! xo

Something I recently learned that others might already know: Many hardware stores have a little cabinet w drawers full of corks of all sizes. So if you find something without a cork - such as a salt shaker - you can replace it.

The last cranberry glass lamp I picked up free off the curb and it turned out to be Fenton, so for a buck I would definitely take that. My sister was driving and thought I was crazy when I told her to pull over. From inside the car I could tell it was hand blown.

You look beautiful in Raspberry. I'm the gal that bought most of your different sized duck decoys found at a Antique barn, a few yrs. ago. Sure love the "flock" as I had a large white swan (Mom, we build a nest for her at Xmas) and a black swan (pricey guy, Dad, both get pretty Christmas ribbons at Christmas...) to start collection!! Hugs!!

I like that the booths at Mother Tuckers don't price their items up before they offer a sale. There were some great deals to be had there! As others have said, I have followed them on another channel & they seem like great people! I always look forward to Sunday mornings so I can have my coffee & shop with Karen ❤️

OMGosh! If I had been you, I would have bought that lamp for myself! The colorway would definitely go so well with your current livingroom decor - and where else would you find a lamp so stunningly beautiful...?!? The color tones are truly excptional! You ought to buy it and live with it for awhile - no shipping required! 🤗

The stained glass lamp was a bargain at $60. You'll make an easy one or $200 on your sale. When you go back in Sept, maybe it will still be there. I like how you organize your purchases at home right away. Wash and hang the clothes, etc. The Amish dresses are nice, they can be worn with fancy belts and necklaces for us who are the English.

I have been living and reselling in Lancaster for 25 years. I have seen you about you have a great eye . The Amish do not wear prints, only colors that you will find in nature. Their dresses have no closures. They use straight pins. The Mennonite community has many different sects, some of whom live like the Amish. The prints are worn by the Mennonite community. During Rumspringer the girls will put on English clothing if they choose, but most do not in their homes out of respect.
