Lana was a cherished member of the original A Primitive Place forum—long before the magazine was first published—and her creativity, humor, and kindness left a lasting impression on all who crossed paths with her.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a gifted doll maker and storyteller, Lana created hundreds of one-of-a-kind characters using antique fabrics, salvaged materials, and inspiration drawn from her family, the people she met, and her vivid imagination. She also crafted exclusive dolls for A Primitive Place, each tenderly holding a miniature version of the magazine—a charming nod to her connection with the community.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this special tribute, we also share the story of how Lana first began her journey into doll making—an artistic path that became a reflection of the way she saw the world: full of character, warmth, and meaning. Over 90 dolls will be featured in this issue, telling a story—some whimsical, some touching, and many with deep personal roots. From her heartfelt Valentine’s Day creations to tender-hearted rabbits, patriotic figures, and tattered Halloween witches, every piece reflects her signature style and storytelling spirit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis keepsake edition includes full descriptions of each doll and the tales behind them, often rooted in family memories, everyday moments, and imaginative detail that turned each character into a living tale.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe issue also invites you to step inside the home where imagination took root, featuring exclusive photos of Lana and David’s primitive home. Rich with early American antiques, seasonal styling, and her lifetime primitive collection, it offers a heartfelt look at the spaces that surrounded and inspired her work. Lana and David tragically passed away one year ago in a car accident, a loss felt deeply by all who knew and loved them. Yet their spirit lives on—in the warmth of their home, the artistry of her creations, and the memories they left behind. A full re-feature of their home will appear in the Fall 2025 issue of A Primitive Place magazine, showcasing different photos and rooms not included here—offering readers a more complete view of the home they so lovingly curated over the years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCreated to honor their beloved mother and grandmother, this special issue is a 72-page full-color magazine offered in limited quantities, with all proceeds going to the Testa family. With personal reflections from her family and a rich showcase of her work, this tribute celebrates Lana’s enduring legacy—one stitched with love, creativity, and the joy she brought to so many.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"x78zum5 xdt5ytf x1iyjqo2 xhc7eg\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"x9f619 x1ja2u2z __fb-light-mode x1xsqp64 x18d0r48

With Ray’s eye for antiques and Jean’s love for soft patina, their home celebrates the craftsmanship of the past and the enduring love found in every handmade piece.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003eInside, you’ll discover:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003eHome tours filled with early antiques, folk art, stitched hearts, and stories of love that have stood the test of time.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003eDecorating inspiration for the transition from Christmas to Valentine’s Day\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003eHistorical features on colonial courting customs, the Heart-in-Hand symbol, and vintage Valentine’s cards.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003eSpotlights on heart-themed hooked rugs, maple sugar molds, pewter heart ice cream molds, and other antiques bearing the marks of love.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003eA Few Standout Home Features Include:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003eRoger \u0026amp; Penny Ausley – Burlington, North Carolina\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003eAt Happy Days Farm, love is measured in simple moments—the crow of roosters at sunrise, the cluck of hens near the porch, and the soft glow of sunlight beaming into a small 1800s log cabin that Penny has transformed into a seasonal retreat.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003ePat and Sandy Miller – Lake Stevens, Washington\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003ePrimitive style might seem rare in the Pacific Northwest, but Sandy Miller has built a home in Lake Stevens, Washington, that proves it thrives anywhere love for history lives strong.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003eGary and Anne Wallace – Bumpus Mills, Tennessee\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003eTheir home is filled with handcrafted textiles, rug-hooked heirlooms, and generations of needlework.

The feature follows their home throughout the year. Autumn is one of Birgit’s favorite seasons, drawn especially to the strong orange and red tones.

When the leaves begin to change, fall follows naturally. “Primitives and fall go together like peanut butter and jelly,” she laughs, as fodder shocks, pumpkins, mums, and vintage Halloween lanterns fill the outdoor spaces.
