A talented handmade jewelry and inspirational gifts artist, Linda Straub resides in Erie, Pennsylvania, where she was born and raised, along with her husband and their four children.
She is a member of the Historic Barn & Farm Association and The Erie County Historical Society. Linda is involved with several churches and non-profit organizations within her community. As an artist she has had the honor to present her jewelry as gifts, to many well known personalities. Her business has been featured on CNN as well as on a number of local television stations and other media in Erie, Pennsylvania and New York State.
Both Linda and her husband have been given a great passion for wood and preserving the meaning of things from the past. The History in the Making concept began in 2005 and later grew into a business. The story of how the business began and how it came to be named History in the Making is revealed in my book The Beauty of Barns.We are meeting so many wonderful people on our journey, people willing to share their family history with us and entrust us with their meaningful treasures to preserve their memories for years to come.
“I love the God given ability to bless others by taking non-functional items and handcrafting new meaningful creations! This business is based on setting aside what society deems as successful and following where my heart leads me while using the talents I have been blessed with to affect others in a positive way.”-Linda Straub
