A Visit to Amish Country!

A Visit to Amish Country!
My parents live on the outskirts of Amish Country, so last week my mom decided to venture intoBerlin, one of the largest Amish settlements in the world, to buy material for curtains. 
Since moving out of my parent's house, and not seeing my family every day has been kind of hard on me, I jumped at the chance to go with her and make it a fun girls day! My sister agreed, and it was set!

We brought along my sister's dog Ziggy (or Poopy as he is more commonly referred), because, let's face it, he's the cutest gosh darn thing you could ever see! She either keeps him in her purse, with his head pokin' out the top, surveying the scene, or just carries him around. Most people don't even notice, and when they do, they just freak out about how cute he is, and want to pet him!

Our first stop was Ritzman Pharmacy in Berlin, for some reasonably priced essential oils (this is where I get all my essential oils). The pharmacy also has an adorable little 50's soda shop, so we of course had to take some pictures!

After the pharmacy, we parked our car and walked around a bit.

And then, on to the main event! The holy land for crafters; Zinck's Fabric Outlet!
Zinck's has anything you could ever need, for any craft project you could ever think of! At crazy low prices! When I was planning my wedding, I bought a 260 yard (!) roll of lace there, for $5.00!!!
The walls are packed, as far as the eye can see, with fabric of all colors, designs, and materials. They have bins and boxes bursting with sale items that you get to rummage through! It's a shopaholic's dream!

I had an absolutely wonderful day. It really felt like summer!
I highly recommend, grabbing a couple friends, and being a tourist in your own hometown, before the summer's over! It's very fun, inexpensive, and you will see your town or city through a fresh set of eyes!
Take your camera, dress cute, and have a blast!

We were exhausted after all our shopping, so we went to Olde World Bakery and Bistro for some food.
The food was absolutely wonderful. We got an appetizer of hummus with vegetables and the best homemade bread I have ever had! We all got the Farmer's Wife Salad.

I would highly recommend this place!
