Jenny Lyns at The Schoolhouse in Akron

08/25/2026

So so so much is happening behind the scenes these days....
..and keeping me extremely busy.
...meeting & talking to creators, adding in new creators, adding in Fall Creations, texting, emailing, messaging ....
... all 3 shops keep growing, keep becoming unique in their own ways, and leaving you with the desire to come back again & again.

Wait until you see what the next few weeks are in store for you all...
..guarantee you, its days like these that you remember where you started 4 years ago and how far you have come.

It hasnt been easy but it is so so worth it with opening up 3 shops now and so many very grateful and happy creators who have joined and those excited to join the Jenny Lyns family soon.

So much talent and so much more to come 🥰

Life's to short.... rent another shop and keep filling your shops with tons of grateful local creators who just want a simple shop to sell in.

With that, I answered my phone the other day to a lady in a PA Dutch speaking accent and she asked if I would be interested in selling creations that a place that she works at, the residents there make things to help pass the time.

They have a little gift shop area at this place but no one seems to buy anything, crafts are piling up, and she had called around to some other places and they dont take crafts....
..so as I gathered more info from her and told her to reach out again when I will be at The Schoolhouse and I will look at what they make.

Well, that happened today and I just got done sprinkling in what they showed me this afternoon.

My shops are a community project, we make up a community, and I am here for the community....
...when expressing a need and desire to sell in my shops so others can continue to make more and have fun doing so....
...so, the cycle continues for them.

I gave them some ideas on what more to make for me so I can also take somethings to the village...
..those tourist will eat their stuff up coming from the true Lancaster County community and all that comes with that...
...the colorful fabrics, the hand sewn creations, and those creations you dont typically see for sale in shops...
...all because I said, Yes.... I will put their creations in my shop/shops and help them in their time of need to have a place to sell in so they can keep the residents busy .... and happy producing real handmade!

The Schoolhouse is closed but I am still here doing Jenny Lyn things...
..we will be back open Tuesday 10-5.

Because my creators keep getting creative.... how fun are these creations that were just dropped off.

And she will take custom orders if you are a Steelers, Ravens, Chiefs fan.....

Already told her she needs to do Phillies, Penn State, Cocalico Eagles, and the Ephrata Mounts

Miss Debby is right... Explore Pennsylvania
.... "You missed Jenny Lyns at The Schoolhouse in Akron. It is a treasure trove set in an actual schoolhouse built in 1897. Three floors of all handmade items by various creators plus many special touches. Check it out! You won't be disappointed!"...
...It's Definitely a must stop shop and so unique that no one else can say they have been to one like it

Across Pennsylvania, some shops are so large that browsing becomes part treasure hunt and part test of self-control.

And we added in another new creator to the Jenny Lyns family today...
... and she will be adding in more of her book themed items soon.

Her and her sister used to do a lot of events but life has a way of telling you to slow down and stop doing so many... enjoy life... but still keep loving what u r doing and come join Jenny Lyns, so they did 😆
