I Love My Amish Brooms!


I became fed up with the WalMart quality brooms we've been using (and breaking) since we've been married, and ordered 3 brooms from Lehmans.com. One is a milkhouse/outdoor broom, one is a house broom, and the other is a child-sized broom.

They arrived a few weeks ago, and I was amazed that I've been putting up with such cheap things up till this point! The child-sized broom even has a rose sticker on it, and the handles are hand-painted. The wood of the sticks will easilyl outlast the broom straw.

They are such an example of something useful being made beautiful. Now my next step is making them some "aprons", as featured in MaryJane's Ideabook, Cookbook, Lifebook.
