Village Wanderings—Shops

Last week, Teri shared our first session at Baltimore on the Prairie, 2021, and this week I (Kara) will be sharing our second session. We are teaching the first of our series, Village Wanderings—Homes at the Academy of Appliqué in March, and for BOTP we will be teaching the second, Village Wanderings—Shops.

As with the houses, our shops were inspired by European architecture, and of course, the fantastic window boxes that can be seen everywhere.

Since we had built the houses in our village, it was time to build the shops. We chose to do the most essential shops needed in a town—at least from our perspective.

We are thrilled that we will be able to teach these delightful shops at Baltimore on the Prairie next year. Whether you take this class or our Alsatian Urn, we would love to have you in either session, or both! All you have to do is head to the BOTP website HERE to sign up! While we are sad to have missed this year, we are hopeful and looking forward to 2021—it's going to be great!
