I love to shop!

My favorite place is this small town called Volant in Pennsylvania about an hour north of Pittsburgh on 79. It's nestled in the country with rolling hills and I recommend going in the fall to catch the changing of the leaves. During some of the fall festivals you can watch them make homemade apple butter outside in huge kettles. Be sure to pick up a walking map and the houses are numbered so you'll know which ones are stores and private homes. Start off at Volant Mills and you'll enjoy 3 floors of crafts galore! They have a converted schoolhouse and a train for your shopping pleasure filled with crafts & goodies to buy. Your senses will be tempted with homemade baked goods, chocolate, spices, & jam. Drive a bit down the road and you'll come across an Amish family selling homemade bread and cookies by the roadside. If your interested they'll even take you inside their barn to sell you quilts and crafts. Since your in the area your shopping experience will not be complete until you stop by at Sugar Creek also and shop, shop, shop!!! You must dedicate a whole day for this excursion, and believe me you won't be disappointed!!! Here is a sample of whats in store!
