Antique Farm

I love vintage! I love farms! In fact, I eventually want to raise chickens for eggs, sheep for wool (I am a knitter), and we have been gardening for the last couple of years. So, I wanted to create a tribute to farms and the feel of farm life. Many of us get carried away with technology, the city, fast pace of life....We tend to forget the basics. So, here it is - only but a handful of wonderful antiques from Etsy. Click on the links below the pictures to go directly to the items for sale.

Tribute to Cow Lovers

Cows often go overlooked as an animal of feelings and thoughts of any kind. But cows are like any other animal - unique, beautiful, and we show that we need them, though there are definite alternatives to dairy and meat products. Either way, they are sweet, loveable animals and here is my tribute to their existence on Earth. Here are some vintage picks from various etsy shops, including my own.
