Here in historic Berks County, PA there is always the opportunity to find interesting, sometimes unknown little gems. This is one of them that I came across when out for a drive the other day. This little 'cottage' sits on a property with a main house and several other out buildings. The salt box design is appealing in itself for it's simplicity, but the thing that begged me to paint this little structure was the weather vane. Look closely and you will see a witch... The building appears unoccupied.... but the imagination of course makes you wonder what goes on in that mysterious little house... I'll leave that up to you!
