MAINE VILLAGE WEAVER

Celtic Knot in Iron adorning a mail box  This beautiful Celtic knot was created in iron and also the number" 13 "and bracket. Andy Leck , Scottish Lion hammered these curls and shaped this design. The house in the background is lovely too! A Maine Cape with Federal style trim. A classic in this neighborhood. Those are wonderfully kept wooden shutters painted a classic green. My hubby with his New England fishermen accent calls this green,"ma larky" green. Huh??? He has a dialect that is slowly disappearing. Our old connection to England  has been replaced with a "Cosmopolitan" dialect. When we leave Maine and go to Pa,MD or Va  to do shows it really stands out and folks have a hard time sometimes understanding him. Sometimes I even have to translate. Hee hee! 

Spring is trying to arrive . This is our farmhouse circa 1810. Two white chimneys on either end and a gable roof. The barn in the background is my husbands new shop built in the style of the house for his blacksmith shop.My azaleas are about to burst with color . The one on the right has to be supported cause last month we had hurricane force winds that blew it right over. We put it back in the ground and are hoping it will survive.Today is warm in the 50's but we go down to freezing still at night. we have frost on the ground in the morning.

This is a federal style house that is early 1800's. A farm house . Like so many in this area. I feel so lucky being able to live here. Check out the lantern over the front door. Andy made the bracket for that 20 years ago and here we are now living in this house! The front door is new and has heart hinges holding up the door.
