Nestled in the trees on the corner of Highway 355 and Highway 250 lies a quaint antique shop called Land Haus Antiques. It is here that members of the Basswood WI stopped as part of our summer tour. Proprietor Christine Raupers greeted us at the door with a friendly handshake and a welcoming smile. Inside this quaint little house are greeting cards, candles, handmade soaps and antique items on display. Equally impressive is the house itself complete with a staircase and an upstairs to browse thru. Coffee and delicious dainties were served by our hostess along with great conversation. What a wonderful afternoon we all had. If you are ever in the area make sure you stop at the Land Haus Antique shop. You will be glad you did. It is well worth the trip.

Such interesting cactus! I had no idea how many varieties there were until I visited there myself!

Not only did I have the pleasure of running into a few of our members at the Dunrea Flea Market today, I came home to discover quite by accident I had purchased this in a package of items I had bought. 1958 Kirkham Bridge WI- Manitoba Women's Institute
This is brilliant and should be shared and shared! Especially on today or all days #Farm24
This photo is from the UN Headquarters in 1953, where Mrs Roberts represented ACWW at the Social Commission (now known as the UN Commission for Social Development)
Today, ACWW has representatives at the UN Civil Society Conference. Our message hasn't changed, because the issues facing rural women haven't changed. ACWW still believes that the empowerment of rural women and girls is key to addressing many of the problems plaguing rural communities and many others can be addressed when rural women are heard at the global level. #ruralwomen #UnitedNations #RuralWomenInAction #UNCSC2019
