Recently, at the Lancaster Historic Home Show in Lancaster, PA.....we discovered a new source for vintage lumber.
Keystone Vintage Lumber displayed an impressive timber frame structure as their booth, along with samples of flooring milled from antique beams and other sources. Cousins, Sheldon Martin and Eldon Dieffenbach operate Keystone Vintage Lumber in Myerstown, PA but will supply to most areas of the mid-atlantic region and New England.
Click here to visit their website.As a side note....I did ask the guys if they had considered "Sheldon & Eldon's Vintage Lumber" as a name for the company.....just in case.....anybody.....wondered. Check them out!
Springtime is finally here in the northeast and many of us are getting ready to back to the garden. I posted something about this great site before but it is worth mentioning again. Veggietrader.com is a site where you can swap your home grown produce, seeds or garden plants. Inevitably, we all grow more than we need in our gardens. Who needs 24 eggplants in one week, really? The site needs to grow to be more useful.....so spread the word!
Many of us in the northeast have spring fever after this warm weekend. If you are still in a cool climate and haven't come down with spring fever yet.....take a look at these photos of tulip fields in Holland. Yes, they are real. Spring is on the coming soon!
So we are in the middle of our second wallop of snow this week and I may one of very few folks that made it into work today here in Chester County, PA....at least of the folks that don't have a snow plow on the front of their vehicle.
