Sauder Village #1

My daughter Autumn and I were talking about how our favorite museum is Sauder Village in northwest Ohio.  On FB, they have been sharing photos of the village and I thought I would share them here too.  I wish we lived closer so we could make summer visits!
Building #1 in the village is Erie's Shop.  It was originally located on the Sauder Family Farm and is where Sauder Woodworking began when Erie Sauder began working with wood at the age of 16.

The next building #2 is Sauder Cabinet Shop.  It pays tribute to the importance of woodworking in this region's development.  It also displays a unique collection of woodworking tools.  Here is one of the village's demonstrators for the cabinet shop.

The next photos are of Building #3 - The Basket Shop.  The ladies in the basket shop demonstrate how the pioneers made their own baskets in the pioneer days.  What interesting work and how beautiful they are!

The baskets they make are different styles, colors and are for many different needs on the pioneer farms.  In this photo above, you can see a basket specially made for gathering eggs or produce from their gardens.


This photo is of one of the men demonstrating how to make things for the farm from tin.  It is The Tinsmith's Shop - Building #5.  In this shop, reproductions of 1700-1800s traditional tinware are created.

You May Abound In Hope

Today I completed a devotional book by Candace Cameron Bure.  100 Days of Joy and Strength.  I was struggling last night.  Darkness seemed to overwhelm me.  The last day of this devotional gave me exactly the encouragement I needed to go another day. Here are the verses she shared from God's Word. "I wait for the Lord, my whole being waits, and in His word I put my hope."  Psalm 130:5 "We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed;"  II Corinthians 4:8-9 "As for me, I watch in hope for the Lord, I wait for God my Savior; my God will hear me.  Do not gloat over me, my enemy!  Though I have fallen, I will rise.  Though I sit in darkness, the Lord will be my light."  Micah 7:7-8 "I remain confident of this; I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.  Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord."...
