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.
Although I grew up in a poor family in the sixties; the one thing we did have were very good manners. They have served me well all my life. I am appalled at the bad manners and rude behavior of so many people today. We all do need to spread kindness and respect for others every day of our lives.
Love the patina and the worn wood! Timeless….
The colors on this gate lock are wonderfully old and layered. I wonder what stories that this gate has seen over the decades.
In times past, to the Lancaster Country, PA Amish, a blue gate meant that there were eligible girls to be married in the family at that farm. This is an old custom that is not used any longer. So I can’t look at this photo without thinking of that.
