    Once order was placed tracking was not updated I had to contact seller twice to get one response. my item arrived in a smelly walmart box with loose sheets of butcher paper which the seller considers wrapped with care? Upon removing item from delivery box one of the dolls had small scuff marks across its face so photos were taken weather this happened before sending or while in transit i contacted the seller asking would she offer a discount i was met with no apology a attitude & a no

    Shipped in reasonable amount of time. Packaged well. Decent value for the price. Product required more work to repair/restore functionality than expected, but looking forward to owning and using repaired item.

  • Appalachian life

    I am a huge fan of anything Foxfire. Since a teenager I have been fascinated by Appalachian mountain life in the early 20th century. Such strong, resourceful people gifted with artistic and practical talents. I visited Foxfire Museum in northeast GA. this summer w/ my grandkids and I was not disappointed. Such a wonderful thing for youngsters to experience.

  • Foxfire books are good resources

    There are many interesting details in all the old Foxfire books. I wanted to see what wild spring edibles were referenced in this volume, and was not disappointed.
