"Chust fer fancy" is a PA Dutch phrase that translates to “Just for Fancy”. Historically, the Pennsylvania German Lutherans & Quakers loved to decorate in detail everything from furniture to gravestones and plates to butter molds. They are referred to as the "Fancy Dutch” while the Amish & Mennonites are referred to as the "Plain Dutch". "As I research my ancestors designs, it’s amazing, the comparisons I find in our artwork. I revel at our love of flowers and birds. Imagination, patience and embellishments are three things they impart and lastly I bring my heart." |
