Several years ago we went to Strawbery Bank (well, maybe 10!) to attend an American Girl Doll event, and it was superb! The guests (and all the little girls with their Molly dolls) were treated as if it was 1942, with the war on. We ate in the kitchens, collected metal scraps, and even had a bomb drill, when we were put into a bomb shelter. German subs actually were heard quite often at night off the coast of Portsmouth! We really enjoyed it. I think that the unique feature of Strawbery Banke is that it does span so many decades, and is not just a snapshot in time. Thank you for the wonderful pictures and tour. I really enjoyed it.

The kitchen reminds me of a home that I visited as a teenager, they always had tea and cookies waiting and I sat around a table like that and visited with a couple that were in their 70's. I loved those people, they always took time out for me. I would love to find a table and chairs like that for my kitchen.<br />The lighthouses are magnificent, I always love to see them. There are several on the Washington coast.<br />Hugs, CindyCindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05984727854409721822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4742343364632742295.post-4909025382899184062012-10-15T21:34:22.699-04:002012-10-15T21:34:22.699-04:00Beautiful photos, Pat!

The one pictured, which is an infinity scarf, but can be wound up around the neck as a cowl too, is 25.00 plus shipping. The thicker one, is 40.00. It is done in the same braided stitch, but uses more yarn. <br />You must need to wear these kinds of things every time you step outside in your New York winters. And I suspect CO will be much the same!!!<br />Let me know!!!<br />Hugs,<br />KrisKrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15578853096888320012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4742343364632742295.post-7902416503608786862012-10-15T12:40:51.058-04:002012-10-15T12:40:51.058-04:00Awesome!
