Shops
It was fun going around in the shops watching the "colonists" make the stuff (for lack of a better word). This man made the harpsichord that he is playing in the picture (I got to play it too) using 18th century techniques. My mom and I talked to him for at least an hour I'd guess, if not more. It was so fun talking to a fellow musician, and he seemed to enjoy talking to one as well. Apparently people are more interested in the furniture than the harpsichord. What is up with that?! Technically the people who work in this shop are cabinet makers. They make furniture and coffins. In the paperwork they have record of harpsichords being repaired and made here so that is why it's the only musical instrument they make in this shop. After we talked about the finished one he showed us the one he was currently making.
The wheel wrights...they make the carriage wheels. They were working on quite a large one when we were talking to them.
My mom and I bought some jewelry here. I could have spent loads in this shop. All of the shops have some sort of sign/picture hanging outside to signify what is made there. Obviously the gold globe is there because they work with silver and gold.
