Reproduction or use without permission of editorial or graphic
content in any manner is prohibited.
The paper is distributed free through its advertisers and selected tourist
information centers, but subscriptions are offered at $18 per year (P&H), single copy $3.
The Country Register began in Arizona in the fall of 1988 to provide effective and affordable advertising
for shops, shows and other experiences enjoyed by a kindred of readership. Since then, the paper has
spread to many other areas, all of which are listed below. Look for the paper in your travels. To receive a
sample paper from another area, mail $3 in the USA or $4 in Canada to that area's editor. Advertising rates
are available upon request. If there is not a paper in your state, and you are interested in publishing a paper,
contact the editor of the Arizona paper at (602) 942-8950. The Country Register is available at the shops
that advertise and often at other unique locations. We hope you enjoy this bi-monthly publication and
let the advertisers know.

Today is my birthday! Happy Day!
I’m not telling you this because I expect you to send cards & presents...
I’m simply sharing because although I do enjoy a party & gifts, I’m
realizing that age really doesn’t matter. I’m very fortunate and have
friends of all ages - both young and old - and I enjoy them all. I’m also
realizing more every year how fortunate I am to have good health and
how lucky I am in so many ways with my wonderful family & home.
One thing that I’m really thankful for is my association with this paper.
The Ohio Country Register has been a wonderful opportunity for me. I
have had the chance to meet and work with some great people, visit so
many of the shops across our great state, and spend time doing what I
really love. It’s also fun to talk with readers who need a copy of the
paper to help find the best shopping spots when they’re visiting Ohio,
etc. I had one lady who wanted to try a recipe she had seen but couldn’t
find her paper, so we went through a couple of back issues until we
located what she was looking for and I read it to her so she could prepare
it for a party!
Each birthday gives us a chance to reflect. It’s also a great time to look
forward in anticipation of what’s to come. I am counting on making new
memories with my family & friends, new growth and exciting times with
the Country Register, and lots of good times ahead. So, Happy Birthday
to me!
I wish all of you well and hope you will take time to visit some of the
shops who advertise with us. Thank them for their support of the
Country Register, this paper wouldn’t be possible without them.
Cheers!

Sue Wickham
Our Sept/Oct cover is a painting by Sue Wickam. A lifelong Ohio
resident Sue lives in Tiffin, Ohio, with her husband Ray. She has two
daughters Bridget and Rachel who are currently attending college.
Sue, a self taught artist, has been creating art for most of her life. She
especially likes antiques, old things and traditional crafts which she
incorporates into her primitive folk art style creations.
She has been selling her handmade original art, primitives and antiques
for several years at “Something Special - Street of Shops” in Tiffin,
Ohio. (see Something Special’s ad on page 10)
A new chapter in her art career began this year when she began licensing
her artwork through Crossroads Original Designs of Bucyrus, Ohio.
They will be using her artwork in selling framed prints, candles with
picture labels and several other products.
You can find Sue’s original artwork at Something Special-Street of Shops,
2800 S. Route 100, Tiffin, Ohio, phone 419-448-8560. Crossroads
Original Designs products are available at many of the shops who
advertise in the Ohio Country Register.

Road Trippin’
Many small towns across America have a claim to
fame and love to celebrate with a fall festival. Fall
has always been a popular time for these events
because it is the last hurrah of warmer weather in
many parts of the country. Craft shows, parades,
food vendors, antiques - these are just a few of the
things you’ll find at a fall festival. Your Country
Register will provide you with a list of events in your
area, and you can always go to the website
www.countryregister.com to find out what’s going on
around the country. And, don’t forget to
check out the wonderful shops you’ll find in
your travels. Many of them will have sales
and special events to coincide with
town events. Plan a road trip this fall
and enjoy being a local for a day!

Costume Creations
Calling all little goblins and ghouls! It’s time for that most
glorious of crafty mom holidays - Halloween costume time!
Not being a crafty mom, I have been known to resort to storebought costumes on more than one occasion. However, my
friend Sandy assures me that with a little planning and
creativity, anyone can come up with some great costumes
with no more than a sweat suit and some craft supplies. As a
matter of fact, she made me a tail and ears last year, and with
a black sweat suit, I was a mouse for my son’s Halloween
party at school. Craft stores now carry colored and patterned
duck tape that is great for cutting out shapes and sticking on
to make polka dots, stripes and patterns on solid clothing you
already have. Thin red sweats and black polka dots-a
ladybug costume. White sweats and black polka dots-a
dalmatian costume. Costume stores and dollar stores carry
affordable accessories you can add to your creation You may
even find the perfect accessories in your child’s toy box. I
think you’ll find that with a little planning Halloween
costume creating isn’t as scary as it seems!

An Apple a Day - Let's Plan on It!
By Jim Komar
The apple got man into trouble
according to the Book of Genesis. Ever
since then man has enjoyed that fruit all
over the world. With more than 7,500
types in the world, we find China
cultivates 35% of apples, the US 7.5%,
followed by Turkey, Russia, India and
others. Apples first came to North
th
America in the 17 century via
colonists. Now let me share a French
recipe that is a huge favorite with our
family.
Apple Galette is a plain tart with a free form rolled crust. Pastry is elegant
with simply sliced apples. A glaze may be added. Add ice cream. Umm - as
good as or better than pie a la mode.
Trick or Treat!
Prep-20+20 min. Chill dough- 1 hr. Bake 1 hr. 15 min. Serves up to 10
generously.
Pâte Brisée: 2 cups flour, 1½ sticks (6oz.) unsalted butter, ¼ tspn salt, ½
tspn sugar, 1/3 cup cold water.
Cut the butter into the combined flour, salt and sugar until you have a coarse
meal. Blend in water. Gather into a dough. Form a disk, wrap in plastic, chill
for an hour.
While dough chills, peel, quarter, and core 5 large apples. Slice each wedge
into ¼ inch slices. Place these wedges in a plastic bag. Acidulate by adding
at least one cup of water and 1 Tbsp lemon juice to stop discoloration of
apples.
Roll out the chilled dough on a well-floured board to cover a 13x15 baking
sheet. Roll up on the rolling pin then roll back on the sheet. Dust with
cinnamon sugar. Then arrange the apple slices in a large oval allowing at
least 3 inches open to the edges as they will be folded over all the apples.
Make smaller ovals inside the first adding all the slices. Dust with cinnamon
sugar as you load the apples. Add thin slices of butter (1/4 stick) to top
apples. Fold over the uncovered edges. Paint them with melted butter or a
touch of egg substitute and sprinkle that 'paint' with a bit of sugar. It will
brown for effect in a preheated 400 degree oven for up to 75 minutes.
Glaze with apricot preserves thinned with Kirsch, Calvados or brandy then
strained. Serve warm.

In a recent Tupperware survey for
their Chain of Confidence
campaign, 85 percent of
respondents, age 18 and older, said
that a supportive network of female
friends is more likely to make them
feel confident in the long run
compared to looking attractive.

Secret Shopper!
Malabar Farm,

in Main Barn, Outbuildings & Grounds
Hello Country Register Readers,
It felt as if fall was in the air the other
morning. Cool temperature that we
haven't seen in awhile, low humidity
and just that funny feeling you get
when the trees start showing the stress
of summer and can't wait for the relief
of fall. With all of the hot weather
we've had this is a well deserved and welcome break.
So I thought I would check out my Country Register, get in the car and see
what some of the Country Register's shops were up to. Children are back in
school and a ride in the country sounded so pleasant and inviting.
?
I love to sew and saw the ad for Country Fabrics in Shiloh, Ohio. If you are
crazy for fabric like I am I would suggest you take a good friend with you
that can help you out of this shop before you buy massive amounts of
wonderful fabric. I was forewarned about the 9,000 bolts of fabric and stayed
only 2 hours but could have stayed much longer. I can't even come close to
estimating how many bolts of fabric I looked at. Their quality is so hard to
find these days.
When I walked into the foyer at Country Fabrics and there was a beautiful
log cabin quilt hanging there made from navy blue and deep red homespun I
knew I was in for a treat. Civil War fabric is my very favorite and their
selection was excellent. They have a huge amount of homespun that was hard
o narrow down to a reasonable amount to take home and their flannel choices
for fall and winter were shouting out to be cut for that special winter project.
They have really good quality fleece if you want to make a throw for
someone for the holidays and a fun selection of quilt patterns and pattern
books when you walk in the front door.
But that's not all they have. I think the suspenders that are made out of all
different types of elastic were really fun and if you want to make your own
they have the elastic on the roll with all of the notions and metal parts you
will need to complete the project. Camo anyone? They have Amish hats for
men and women, baby items, toys, dishes and a kitchen gadget dept. I got
wooden words carved in the USA for inspiration in my work room and I
found black headed pins in their well stocked notions dept. for my primitive
make dos. There is something in every corner and when their ad says it's
worth the trip they aren't fooling. They are out in the country and the drive
Handmades-FolkArtRug Hooking-Prim Antiques
Mercantile Gatherings Magazine will be @ the Show
419-347-3726 or

is beautiful. I can't wait to go back which will be soon. They told me
they are having a sale in Sept. so plan to visit Country Fabrics soon.
You won't be disappointed, I was thrilled.
Another day I drove to Mansfield on an errand and had some time to go
exploring with my Country Register and found the delightful Country
Clutter just south of Mansfield on Rte 42 in Lexington.
What an amazing shop! I love smalls and this shop has so many. Their
motto is that clutter makes a house a home and they mean it in the most
wonderful sense of it all. I started my Christmas shopping with an
ornament for a friend and bought her this wonderful fall scented candle
that they had just gotten in. When I walked in the door the aroma was so
welcoming. Vicky was working that day and is such a delightful shop
owner.
Their candle selection is excellent, the small painted drawers were a
favorite and of course they have my very favorite artist, Billy Jacob's
with his pictures, still lives and paintings hanging throughout the shop.
The Country Clutter is filled with great selections for your home and
gift giving. I suggest that you take the time and go slowly around the
shop and then reverse yourself so you don't miss a thing. The Country
Clutter is really filled with must haves. Candles, unique light bulbs,
shelf sitters, wall décor and I can't wait for their Holiday Open House
Thanksgiving weekend. Everything was displayd so nicely and I am
sure the Holiday selections will be just as wonderful.
School is back in session so watch out for the children and drive safely.
Enjoy a trip out with your friends with your Country Register now that
fall is almost here.
Country Blessings from,

- Ashland Decorate With FALLing Leaves this Fall
With the temps reaching the 90’s for most of us this summer it is a great time to
be thinking ahead to the Fall when temps turn a bit cooler and nature sends us the
most wonderful Greeting Card we could ever imagine.
I love using the seasons and what comes with them from Mother Nature as
inspiration for decorating my home. Each season brings things that I really love
and so it is hard to pick a favorite season. But, I do believe that fall is on the top
of my list for favorites!!! As a child growing up in Florida, we didn't get a lot of
seasonal change. Even as an adult, one of my most fond memories is raking up
leaves and watching my kids jump in them. The delight and excitement of
“jumping in the leaves” is so exhilarating. Secretly, as an adult, I even jumped in
those leaves!!! So let's think about how we can use those leaves and that feeling
of excitement that comes from jumping in them as inspiration for decorating our
homes this fall.
Leaves can be such a great addition to our decorating as we go into the fall. Using
leaves in the welcoming wreaths that grace our front doors, to adding leaves to
our favorite table top displays, the ideas that come from leaves just keep coming.
You can even add that touch of fall leaves to your walls and windows with the
great new vinyl clings that are available. Or if you are a craft lover, then you
make them from your Cricut machine.
As you think about decorating your home for this season, keep in mind the
beautiful, warm hues that you see during this season. From the golden maples to
shimmering sun on the lake surrounded by leaves that are turning, there are so
many colors that will make your home feel so cozy and delightful this season.
Painting a wall can be so easy, as an accent. Just one wall in a room painted a
warm hue of green or gold, can make a huge difference in how your room feels. It
is so easy to paint that same wall again when spring arrives. Don't be afraid of
paint. I use to think of painting a wall as being such a permanent thing. But I have
learned that painting can be such an easy change to make and one that will totally
change the look for that room. So go for it! Add a little fall color to your room
through the walls.
Now, if you are still afraid of painting a wall, then think of other ways to add that
color. Drapes, throws, pillows and even rugs can bring that change in color to
your room. I like to think of this basic color change as the canvas for what you
will do next. And what is next? This is the fun part of
decorating. It is bringing in the pumpkins, gourds,
wreaths, scare crows and all the fun things that come
with this season. Decorate that mantle, the dining
room table top, the front door, or even switch out a
print on our walls that has more of the colors of fall.
You will soon see your home take on all the ambiance
of a beautiful fall day.
Something else that I think screams Fall when it
comes to decorating our homes is not just something
that appeals to the eye but something that will appeal
to your other senses as well. And what might that be?
Fragrance! Light some of those wonderful smelling
candles that fill the house with cider and spice, apple pie or even Pumpkin. Now
if you are really brave, you might enjoy turning on the oven and actually baking
your favorite muffins, pies, or cookies to give your home that wonderful Fall feel.
I think I will stick to candles and fragrance oils. If you are like me, I tend to gain
more weight in the fall, as all these wonderful delights make me want to bake and
then I have to taste test what I bake. So good luck with that one…
I recently saw a cute idea I wanted to share with
you. It was taking a wrought iron bowl rack that
usually stands on the floor to hold your favorite
bowls and turning it into a great front porch fall
welcome. Instead of placing bowls in the rack, fill
it with your favorite pumpkins. Another great way
of using this is to fill it with those great corn
stalks. Sometimes finding a place for stalks can
be challenging. Check out the two photos that
show this piece in those two ways. If you are
wondering where you can get one, check out my
website where you can purchase one or ask in
your favorite Country Store that advertises in the
Country Register. So take a leap--jump in those
fall leaves as you decorate your home this fall.

along for the ride. Three attractions, one location, continuing to create

The Great Pumpkin!
It’s time to get the carving tools out and get
to work on those pumpkins! Across the
country, pumpkins are one of the most
popular outdoor decorations for fall. They
come in a myriad of shapes, colors and sizes
so they complement any outdoor decor.
Some people prefer one large jack-o-lantern
to greet guests on the front porch, and some
people love to pile several together to make a
statement. Real pumpkins are fun to carve
and the seeds are wonderful when roasted in
the oven with some olive oil and kosher salt.
However, you can also get fake pumpkins at
the craft store that can be carved and used
year after year. I got a great carving tip from
Farmer Jeff at our local pumpkin patch last
year. He suggested cutting a circle from the
base of the pumpkin rather than the top. After
the pumpkin is cleaned out and carved it is
then placed back on the base and the stem is
still intact. He also suggested rubbing the cut
pieces of the pumpkin with petroleum jelly in
order to keep it from drying out prematurely.
Make pumpkin carving a family affair - it’s
something that everyone can enjoy! Susan

Quilting With Barbara
As we move all too quickly into fall, it's pleasurable to take one last look
at summer. Or, in other words, How I Spent My Summer Holidays,
abridged version.
I looked forward to our visit to England and Scotland in June and July,
anticipating searching out quaint little quilt shops in quaint little villages
and towns. After all, we were going to rent a car, and although my
navigation skills are so-so, my husband is an excellent driver, even on the
“wrong” side of the road. What could be easier? As it turned out…a lot
of things!
First of all, none of those quaint little villages seems to have a quilt shop,
quaint or otherwise. When we inquired locally, we were often told
something like, “The hardware at the top of the street has some cloth,” or
“I don't know, but you might look at the….” So we gave up on small
towns, picturesque as they were, and concentrated on enjoying the
beautiful English countryside and historic sites. After all, I can always
buy fabric at home, but I can't visit two-thousand-year-old Roman
mosaics there.
Our next major stop was the Isle of Tiree, home of a good friend and
some of my forebears. Tiree is the outermost island of the Inner Hebrides,
three hours by ferry off the west coast of Scotland. Our friend mentioned
that her sister-in-law, who also lives on the island, did some quilting.
“Some quilting,” indeed! Here on this isolated, misty, rainy isle that has
in many ways ignored the twenty-first century, lives a most amazing art
quilter, Jane Macdonald. She works at her own creative pace, sometimes
for herself and sometimes on commission. Like many of us she has a
wall of shelves filled with fabric and ideas and samples galore. Unlike
many of us, her ideas come to fruition in amazing creations, mainly wall
quilts. When I lamented that I had found little evidence of quilting in the
UK, she gave me a copy of the national quilters' publication and told us
we should visit the National Quilt Museum in York. Exemplifying the
generosity of quilters worldwide, she appeared the next morning with the
gift of several fat quarters and delicious bits of unusual fabrics.
Following her advice, a few days later we spent a half day in the National
Quilt Museum in York located in the historic St. Anthony's Hall, a former
guild hall dating from the 1400s. The displays were fascinating, and just
after we despaired of viewing any quilt less than 150 years old, we
entered
another room full of stunning contemporary quilts and hangings,
So we went on to London to visit one of the world's most-famous
many
of
which had won prizes. I thought right then that my day was
department stores, Liberty, noted for its silks. Surely they would have
complete, but when we crossed the street to experience a pub lunch at the
piles of quilting cottons too. Well, no. They stock silks and other
Black Swan (former home of Lord Mayors of York, and, for a time the
gorgeous fabrics, but their cottons were limited to some by Kaffe Fasset
and Moda, priced at the equivalent of $16 to $22 per meter. These cottons home of General James Wolfe who wrested control of Canada from the
French at the Battle of Quebec, 1759) our day was more than complete. It
I can buy at home for considerably less, so I was content with buying a
overflowed.
token half-meter. The Victoria and Albert had a few fat quarters of
Victorian prints. That took care of fabric shopping in London.
And that's how we spent our summer holiday.
I have the simplest tastes.
I am always satisfied with
the best. ~Oscar Wilde

- London WHAT IS LABOR DAY?
By Barbara Mills Lassonde
Labor Day was first celebrated in New York City on Tuesday, September 5,
1882. It was planned by the Central Labor Union, which dedicated that day
to celebrating the social and economic contributions of American workers.
In 1884, it was changed to the first Monday in September, and was a
“workingmen's holiday.” The idea spread throughout the country, mainly
through labor organizations, and in the years that followed, many states
passed laws creating a Labor Day holiday. In 1894, Congress designated
the first Monday in September a national holiday, Labor Day.
To celebrate those early Labor Days, parades were held to demonstrate the
strength of labor organizations. These parades were followed by festivals for
the entertainment of the workers and their families.
Today we seldom think of honoring American workers, because nearly all of
us fit into that category for most of our lives. We think of Labor Day as the
official end of summer- the end of lazy days at the lake, stinging sunburns at
the seashore, horrible heat waves, droughts and countless hours toiling in
the garden, trying to eke out a decent harvest.
Every season has its joys, its miseries, its chores. Summer gave us sunshine,
growing crops, unbearable weather conditions, destructive and annoying
insects, lawns to mow, weeds to pull. Now it's time to bid farewell to all
things summer: barbecues, swimming lessons, family reunions, summer
visitors, beautiful flower gardens.

Summer is behind us and Labor Day is the beginning of the fall season. It's
the return of kids and teachers to school, the promise of cooler weather,
agricultural fairs, colorful foliage, goldenrod blossoms and allergies. Crisp,
clear mornings greet us. We smell the spicy scent of autumn leaves
crunching beneath our feet, watch flocks of migrating birds and hear the
crack of a hunter's rifle echoing through the woods.
It's the season of hurricanes, downed trees, flooding streams.
It's time to winterize or store away the boat, pool, patio furniture, garden
hose and insect repellent. All used in a flurry for such a brief time and now
we're done with them for the next eight or nine months. We haul out the
chain saw, leaf blower, jackets and window wash.
We work around our job schedules and the weather to put our perennials to
bed, clean up the vegetable garden and stack the firewood. This is the
season to prepare for the long, cold winter ahead, when we're more confined
to the house and fill our spare time with needlework projects, reading and
cooking up new recipes.
Besides honoring all of us who work, Labor Day is a time of transition from
the freedom of summer to the chores of autumn packed into a few short
weeks before the winter winds begin to blow.

A lot of people think canned
goods are not as fresh, but
canned vegetables are picked
at their peak freshness, so
they’re a great way to keep
your pantry stocked.

Your pantry probably has more than a
few non-food items. Cleaning supplies?
Serving platters? Is there a better place
for these things? Here’s a secret: Doors
are the great underutilized spaces in
pantries. If the non-food items must
stay, at least get them on door hooks.
