Here’s how:
MaryJane will post a photo and a description of a prop and its cost along with a few details as to its condition here: https://shop.maryjanesfarm.org/MaryJanesCurations. It’s a playful way to be the new owner of a little bit of farm herstory.
What is it about old red barns that begs me to stop and ponder the stories it’s walls have seen? What is it about them that makes me want to linger just a minute longer?
Oh Winnie, the ones that really get my imagination going are the pieces of property that have one big shade tree and maybe a rose bush that were clearly planted in a front yard and next to a front porch. Such clear pictures appear in my mind ~ complete with sounds of children and the scent of home baked goods in the air; and, of course, a dog.
My dream home 🙂
I totally understand that too, Cindi! I’ve been known to indulge in the same fantasies when it comes to old abandoned houses. But barns really do it to me and it is weird since I have always lived in a city. .
Barns, sheds, old homes: have a wall in my den covered with paintings, photographs and pictures of old, abandoned places crying out to be remembered. And the tales they can help to weave are wonderful.
