I'm endlessly fascinated by how we all think about this topic.<br /><br />Those of you in (or interested in) Scandinavia, might be interested in seeing my first hands-on experience with the Norwegian folk art of rosemaling. I've got a piece on my blog:<br /><br />http://sitesandstories.wordpress.com/category/museums/vesterheim-norwegian-american-museum/ <br /><br />And about the fence in the photo...this shot was taken at the 1860 Shulz Farm at Old World Wisconsin. The garden fence is woven, so very few nails were needed. It was an inexpensive and fast type of fence for newly-arrived immigrants.Kathleen Ernsthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07009876100214388898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6582932888892465523.post-92170265235587071492010-10-22T15:14:39.410-04:002010-10-22T15:14:39.410-04:00how fun, and I loved reading about her inspiration...how fun, and I loved reading about her inspiration for the culture clash in the Kit mystery!
