Been going through Bunches of Early Primitives, recently.
<3
Oh My!!
Many were handmade, and used in the Amana Colonies back in the 1800's when they were a Communal Settlement, much like The Shakers.
The Tin Heart Cookie Cutter, is hand made... from Amana.
It's Older Than Dirt!!
Hahahahahaha!!
Very Large, and... Very Wonderful.
: )
The Amana Settlers, were a self sufficient Colony of People, that settled about 11 miles from The Rabbit Hole, in 7 Villages.
They lived Communally, again... much like The Shakers.
Had their own Blacksmiths, Tinsmiths, Wash Houses, for laundry, Woolen Mill, even their own Book Binders.
They ate their meals together... at Communal Kitchens.
Quite Amazing Iowa History!!
<3
The Chopper... oh my.
<3 <3 <3
There's 'Something' about Early... Handmade Anything.
<3
If you look closely, you can see how the iron was forged together.
Love... Love... Love....
the Lollipop Design, on the sides.
<3
Handwork!!
It's All... About
'The Details'... Baby!!
: )
<3
The Knife... came from an Old...Old, East Amana Home, that had been in One Amana Family, almost...
Forever.
It's Sooooooo Cool!!
: )
The Walnut handle... is So Smooth.
<3
It Feels Good In Your Hand!!
: )
The Old, Old... Old, Rolling Pin, is Iowa, but not from Amana.
It's all Pegged together.
Simply Soulful!!
Can't Begin to Imagine how MUCH Work it's done.
<3
It's been in my personal collection for decades, and has Worked Hard...
Rollin' out Pie Crusts, a time or two.
: )
The Apple Peeler, with Hearts on Both Sides, on Two Gears...
came from a Wonderful Mennonite Farm.
It's So Cool!!
<3
Can't Imagine... how Many Apples It's Peeled!!
: )
It's little fork, that holds an apple in place, has been repaired...Over, and Over!!
<3
I'll be Diggin' and Sortin' Through Much, while getting ready for Another Great Estate Sale, that will be in Cedar Rapids, Iowa...
February, 6 thru 9!!

{ I have Much... to Share, about a few other things.
Received a little 'news' yesterday.
Didn't get much sleep last night.
Out of all of the Flinging Arrows, about 3 a.m. this morning, realized...
again...
how incredibly Blessed I am.
When you're standing in the midst of a battle, that seems never ending, and filled...
with never ending....
'Shenanigans'
it's difficult to See.
Grateful.
So Grateful.
Can't wait to share... this story. Unbelievable.
Sadly... considering 'who' we're dealing with, don't know why I should be surprised.
Stay Tuned. : )}
