Old Fashioned Days in Williamsburg Kentucky

'KENTUCKY COAL CRAFTERS'
Carbide Light carved out of coal, by Kentuckian Alvin Powell
   


     It has been a beautiful day to enjoy the festivities at the Old Fashioned Days Celebration in Williamsburg, Kentucky.  I bought this carbide light carved from coal. It was a logical purchase for me because my Dad, Bob's Dad, and his Grandpa were all coal miners.  I talked with Mr. Powell, who carved it; he seemed to be a very nice and talented man.

Had to buy this one, sounds delightful.



    Erica is a very nice young crafts woman.  It is refreshing to see young people getting involved in making crafts and enjoying the rich heritage of the Williamsburg Old Fashioned Trading Days.

Kenneth and Barbara Stephens are very nice and a joy to talk to.  
They have very high quality woodwork.

Fern is a beautiful woman with a wonderful
zeal for life.  She also had homemade lye soap
for sale.  I purchased some of that.

I spoke with the lady that made these little jumpsuits, she was very nice and gave me permission to photograph them and put them on my blog, but chose not to include her name with the post
