BLOCKSetc

Welcome to BLOCKSetc I am often asked how I started my business or where the idea came from so I decided to tell my story. Thank you in advance for taking the time to get to know me; it’s quite a story! BLOCKSetc has been a work in progress since its inception in June 2005. I am originally from Lancaster, Pennsylvania where I grew up surrounded by truly authentic farm houses nestled in idyllic Wyeth-esque landscapes. As a young girl I would dream of someday living in a farmhouse full of charm and character and raising a family. I LOVE history and anything that conjures a past, a story or has had a previous ‘life’; there is something mystical about the imaginative qualities of actual things. When I got a little older my father would take me ‘antiquing’ and I relished just being among old pieces as I would imagine the life they may have once had. When I married and moved to Michigan with my husband, I begged him to consider buying a farmhouse, so we could literally live inside a piece of American history. After lots of searching we found a farmhouse in need of some TLC but one that oozed charm and character and had a story to tell. With all the naiveite of 26-year-old newlyweds,
