Two of my best friends have them on their houses. I think it looks awesome!

Your not kidding..I find this interesting! Well I liked your series and wish you a wonderful weekend-
Someone told me that if the star is put upside down, it signifies some "not-so-good" sign?
Great information Ginny. I sometimes see what look like Pennsylvania Dutch like symbols here on homes and barns but I have never researched the meaning. Those stars are very pretty.
You asked about a tablet. I have been researching them too but so far I haven't decided either. I have heard that Amazon is coming out with one later this year, I may wait and see what it looks like.
I thought stars were for Christmas decorations only. it's so interesting to see that stars aren't meant for 'occasions' only.
I know! I also remember as a child wanting my parents to get one to keep the evil spirits away from our house. It didn't happen and I could swear that, on occasion, there was an evil spirit--or maybe an evil sprite!!
Best,
Bonnie
Hi Ginny! I didn't know the story behind the stars. Very interesting... And I just read your last post about you touring the Poe house. I love doing tours like that. It must've been fun. I love the picture of you and Phil with Poe and I'm glad he settled down and wasn't so afraid after he found out it wasn't the real thing.. LOL. Hope you have a safe and fun weekend!!
Great pics Ginny! Your blog never ceases to amaze me... The variety of topics that you cover everyday is mind boggling... This is so new to me again! Loved it.
Many thanks for sharing this, have a fabulous weekend:)
Our God has numbered the stars and given them names! Love that Scripture! Have wondered if we call the stars the same names God calls them! I love stars of all shapes and sizes! Thanks for sharing your photos!
I think this a beautiful way to decorate your buildings year round.
since hubby is PA dutch, every stubborn bone in his body, is PA Dutch, will ask him about this when he gets home. i have seen these type stars in the stores here but never on a house. we have giant geckos on our buildings, downtown and all over, made by artist, they made them for the Village of the arts and they caught on and now they are every where. i need to go find a few and do a post.
I have seen them like at stores and I have a blue star in my own room, but I never have seen one on a house down here. What a beautiful thing they represent - I had no idea. So full of information are you! love it, sandie
First off, the header star is breathtaking, is that a glass blown star?
you are a wealth of info, I learn something everyday visiting and the bible passage for today.
I love star motifs, no matter where they are found. They impart the idea of the presence of light. And after all, isn't that what He is all about?
Great info, always learning from you. I do see stars in stores for decor, but not so much on outside of homes.
Interesting idea of the stars. I'd heard of hex symbols but wouldn't have made any connection.
Very interesting! Thanks for sharing! I love to learn new things!
Cool post Ginny! Hope you are staying dry and have a great weekend!
Stars alive! Look at all those!
You always share such interesting info with your photos.
The stars are very nice and I enjoyed the history and the photos. Enjoy your weekend.
I like the idea of having stars on the house or wherever!
Ginny, as far as my mifi is concerned, there is no change after all that messing around. Big waste of time! I live in the boonies and my service is sporadic at best. Have tried every other available option.
I'm glad "He counts the stars and knows them all by name" and He knows my name too. ☺
Liked the quick taste of local history and accompanying Scripture.
These remind me of the stars we put up in our windows (inside) at Advent/Christmas time, symbols of the star of Bethlehem. That I think is originally a German Herrnhuter tradition.
I finally have one on my house...I had it for a couple years I think before we put it up. I just like them...
That's interesting, my cousin, Barry from Florida asked me the same question, why does New England have so many stars!
xxoo
