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!
