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.
