In its place we've injected spectacle and over-sell. <br /><br />Re-enactors exist in parks and museums but they generally give off an odd vibe. Pretending to be something is different than actually being it - so their guns fire blanks, their pretend accents are off and generally their age is wrong for the parts they pretend. Plus, they act as talking encyclopedias and, I suspect the people they re-act were probably more stoic and silent, <br /><br />I once found re-enactors interesting, now when visiting certain museums I avoid them as much as possible. I don't like the weirdness.willhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15590217997145761582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7131844.post-33228968086217059772011-10-20T15:33:49.091+02:002011-10-20T15:33:49.091+02:00You capture the essence of this place so nicely.

It is a family business. It makes we want to take up one more craft, weaving. Did I not read, some time ago, that you had a loom and were taking up weaving? Would love to see your progress.Corrinehttp://sewtopia.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7131844.post-65771959943188373082011-10-20T15:28:23.361+02:002011-10-20T15:28:23.361+02:00Love this!

I wanted to take each of their stories and tuck them away because I knew they were that special. Especially, the 88 year old who said she used to make her own clothes because you couldn't go out and buy them from those darn shopping malls.--mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13625706492514711113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7131844.post-48013990464652453252011-10-20T14:46:59.468+02:002011-10-20T14:46:59.468+02:00"sometimes the best experience is the one tha...<i>"sometimes the best experience is the one that happens inside of you when you encounter a place where it's still and calm and relaxed." </i><br /><br />I think the above statement is so true. And I think that is why I so enjoy reading your blog. This is a place of stillness and calm which allows me to relax. <br /><br />Thank you for it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7131844.post-59390697850876251032011-10-20T13:57:20.699+02:002011-10-20T13:57:20.699+02:00Hello Julie
