Amish Grace

No. This one is about the school shooting and the aftermath. Trouble in Paradise is a story of a couple families choosing to leave the Amish.

I can tell from the buggy design it's an Amish buggy versus Old Order Mennonite.

The Amish population doubles every 19 years. Will there be a market for Hotwheels brand buggies for little boys?

I used to live by some OOM's. When I asked them if they were OOM, they looked pretty impressed. I figured it out by the clothes.

That's how I can tell too, I know some of the different styles of buggy, but can't remember which style belongs to which group.

Off topic, but my daughter was playing in the park with an OOM little girl her age last summer (her Mom was selling baked goods at the farmers market) and my little one said "Mommy can I have a dress like hers?" so I ended up getting a pattern from a friend who has OOM family and making her a dress in their style.

Edited - meant to say last summer not last month. lol

That's cute.

My wife designed clothing for our children so they could sumer in a living museum as re-enactors. We did order leather shoes from a mail catelog that were legal. All the fabric had to be natural fibres. No zippers.

The dress I made her is cotton, and I can't remember what the closures were supposed to be, but I differentiated from the pattern there and put in a zipper because she can work zippers better than hooks and eyes.

There are some ladies in my area that use pins instead of buttons or hooks and eyes, but I think they're Amish not OOM.

LaRue County, Kentucky - actually just across the river in Elizabethtown. Most of the 'Amish traffic' seems to be in LaRue County, but the shopping opportunities exist more in Hardin County.

Coadie as you know Amish attraction is huge for tourism in Lancaster county PA where I was born. Unfortunately even most of the "handcrafted" items are imports from China... So hot wheels brand buggies may very well be in the works!
