Donuts to Quilts!

On Saturday we went to the 

17th Annual Consignment Auction Sale

in our area 

which raises funds for the local 

Amish School Fund.

It's a massive sale, taking up acres and acres, 

with rows upon rows of antiques,

collectibles, household effects, furniture, 

trees, plants, pets and farm animals, horses,

machinery, and the oh so many beautiful quilts!!!

Not to mention the huge tent with

all homemade baking for sale, or the 

rows and rows of food booths.

It's a place to meet and greet your

neighbours and to purchase anything and

everything you can imagine!
Our intention was to get a coffee and one of
the famous donuts!

Many Mennonite groups were present at

this event - primarily the Amish who organize this annual sale

and every kind of Mennonite in between.
Of course, friends and neighbours came from far and wide
to enjoy and to shop!


Many auctioneers were kept busy as they 
simultaneously and methodically tackled this massive job!

Did I mention how amazing this sale is???

Rows and rows of things to sell!

Beautiful Handiwork!

My favourite shot of the day!

So great to see you Ruby and Ruth!

My neighbour Elmina checking out the quilt auction.
I wonder how many quilts she helped to make?






What a wonderful morning!
We had our coffee and donut
and
then ended up buying a quilt too!
The perfect wedding gift for a friend

Till next time ............another very successful Amish Sale - well done!
