You may be sensing something in the air. We are. There are some very innovative, very radical ideas floating around today. And they are exciting, revolutionary, and daring. They do require a shift from the status quo. They may introduce a different lifestyle. They may even seem much like jumping off of a very high cliff! But here's the parachute clause: You may really love it!
]]>Rediscover the romance and simplicity of the past with a flair for handlin' pitchforks and avoiding the dust-bunnies. If you're innovative, if you're creative, if you're a home-body with a sense of adventure (and a hankerin' for endless chores), then you've come to the right spot!If you keep sensing some strange mixture of pioneer and poetry seeping from your bones but are wrapped up in some suburban facade, then shake it all out and come with me for a long romp here in the magnificent Maine countryside (before they spread the manure)!
]]>As the economy continues to take a nose dive, I've been gathering more information on renewable energy sources and ways to increase our own self-sufficiency. This dovetails nicely with the whole homesteading concept and there are so many great ideas and innovations already available with more to be introduced in the next couple of years or so.

]]>The King's DaughtersCustom-made high-quality modest apparel "The King's Daughter is all glorious within:her clothing is of wrought gold" Psalm 45:13 The King's Daughters is a home business started in response to the requests made by so many for modest apparel, with quality, yet at an affordable price. When we first began to seek the Lord in the area of simple and modest clothing, it seemed we just couldn't find anything. Most of the styles we offer in our catalog are garments that have been a blessing to others which we are able to pass on to you. As we seek the Lord in the area of dress, we should also remember how important it is to not only be clothed modestly and simply, but also to have our hearts clothed with that inward beauty and peace that comes only from a heart that is fully surrendered to His will and way in our lives. This is where true modesty and simplicity begins. Our garments are all custom made with the greatest care.... They offer a beautiful assortment of jumpers, pinafores, dresses, and nightgowns
