The Country Register Story
The Country Register began in Arizona in 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 area available upon request. If there is
not a paper in your state and you are interested in publishing a paper, contact
the editor 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.
USA
Hello Everyone!
This week my husband uttered those words I hadn’t heard for awhile...
“I’ll be at the golf course!” Aaah - music to my ears! It’s a sure sign that
spring is finally and really here. We’ve been teased a couple of times, but
now it’s really here! Golf is Doug’s favorite pasttime, so he’s happy.
I’m happy too - my spring days are spent at flea markets and gatherings,
gardening, checking out the new merchandise at my favorite shops and
exploring new shops from those who advertise in this paper.
Another favorite of both of us is watching our grandkids, Zack and Lexi,
play ball. Lots of games on the schedule for this spring and summer!
We’ve also become big fans of farmers markets. Many communities host
farmers market once a month or some every weekend. This is a great way
to obtain fresh produce and other goodies for your family. (Check out the
story on Olde Worthington’s Farmers Market on page 23.)
Thanks for picking up this copy of The Country Register - we’ve got a lot
packed into this issue - many shows and events listed on page 3, a book
giveaway, recipes, quick tips and lots of shops listing their spring open
houses and special events. When you attend any of these events or visit
any of the shops who advertise with us, be sure to thank them for bringing
The Country Register to you.
Enjoy your spring!

Of Purpose and Spirit
Denise and Chuck McCamy are now into their fifth year of designing and
selling a line of country primitive greeting cards under the name “Of
Purpose and Spirit.” Their joint efforts combine Denise's passion for early
things and Chuck's interest in photography. Denise was always drawn to old
pieces. “Maybe it was the time I spent on my grandma's farm while
growing up. The old cookstove off the kitchen with the woodbox nearby…
a simpler way of life where things were worn from being used day after
day.” Chuck's love of flying has always been his passion. In 2001, he
started flying ultralights, which led him to start taking pictures of what he
saw while up in the air. He took to learning as much as he could about
digital photography and computers on his own and started making over-size
aerial photos.
Meeting one another in 2005, they soon combined their talents, which led to
creating the greeting cards. Many antique collectors and dealers allow them
to photograph their homes which reflect much earlier times. They are truly
thankful for the opportunity to share through pictures their love of country
primitives.

Both Denise and Chuck were born, raised and currently live in rural central
Minnesota. They just recently built a saltbox house on the back of 60 acres.
They enjoy the wildlife and solitude of country living and feel very blessed
to be at this point in their lives.
Of Purpose and Spirit has published scenes from many Ohio homes. They
are also licensed through Crossroads Original Designs of Bucyrus, Ohio,
who uses their photography in selling framed prints, candles with picture
labels, calendars, and other products. Crossroads products and Of Purpose

- Millersburg - Walnut Creek TASTY EVENT FOR QUILTERS
Twelve Northeast Ohio quilt shop owners have come together to offer a
‘taste’ of their craft to attendees of the Quilters’ Fling “Sweet Treats Quilt
Shop Hop.” Participants will collect a quilt block pattern, a recipe card
and a tasty treat plus the opportunity to win prizes from each quilt shop in
this fun fifth annual quilting event.
The Sweet Treats Quilt Shop Hop will run from Saturday, April 23 to
Saturday, May 7, 2011. At their first stop, participants will receive a free
passport which they will get stamped at all the shops they visit. The shops
have designed exciting projects based on the different quilt block
“recipes” available at each shop. Attendees with completed passports will
receive a free recipe box in which to store their block patterns and
recipes, or other small quilting supplies. They will also be eligible to win
door prizes, gift baskets and gift certificates. Although every shop has
their own unique hours, all the shops will be open at least 10 am-5 pm,
Mondays through Saturdays during this event. The twelve participating
shops include:
A Piece In Time, Akron; AnnaLouisa's NeedleArts, Louisville; Bernina
Store and Sew Much More, Twinsburg; Cottonpicker’s Quilt Shop,
Chardon; The Craft Cupboard, Middlefield; Designers Two, Cortland;
Quilter’s Fancy, Cortland; Quilter’s Source, Parma; Quilt Garden, North
Canton; The Polka Dot Pincushion, Richfield; Stitch, Piece 'n Purl,
Cuyahoga Falls; Tiny Stitches, Middlefield.
This fun event brings together all the elements that quilters love…fresh
new designs, recipes and food, and of course shopping! Quilters love
sharing great new ideas, snacking along the way, and having fun as we
visit and learn more about what the area shops have to offer.

Random Acts by Maranda Jones
The reunion shirts proudly say “Property of the Lennington Family,”
representing this year's sports theme and of course, our family, our
team. It has been said over and over again that when we work together
as a team, everyone achieves more. With our team this is a fact. We eat
more, we laugh more, and we remember more…
I remember riding with Aunt Rita and Uncle Larry in their van to watch
Lance play basketball. We had stopped along the way to get shirts in his
school's colors. He must have been a valuable player if we all needed to
wear black and gold. It made me feel important too, even though I was
just sitting in the stands, cheering him on. I could not tell you if they
won or lost that particular game, but
I do remember Lance's commitment
to his team. I also remember his
winning free throw, celebrated with
a move that my sister and I imitated
for years.
I remember my cousin Lee trying to
sleep on the way home from that
same basketball game and how hard
I tried to keep him awake. He must
have been so annoyed at me, but he
never uttered one unkind word. I
remember Lee's patience. He
practiced it often with my sister and
me, for we were always trying to tag along with our favorite comedian.
Lee ordered fries at the bank's drive-up window, and I giggled until I
snorted. He drove around town testing his automatic garage door opener
on his neighbors' doors. He took us to Dairy Queen, taught us new
games, and offered us spare change to take new risks. Sarah finally
earned a couple of quarters going down the twisty slide alone, but we let
him keep his money when he offered strange foods inside Oreo cookies.
Lee was always a coach.
I remember helping Mom make cookies and sending care packages to
Todd at Kansas State University. On one trip to visit him, my Grandma
Lois got a speeding ticket, which gave us a slight delay of game. We
gave Aunt Shirley and Uncle Don the play-by-play, once we arrived,
Todd wanted a replay too while he helped me with puzzles in my book.
I remember Todd's attention to detail. On another trip to KSU, Todd
accompanied us roller skating, and my Grandma Lois broke her arm. I
remember Todd's care, but I don't remember my grandma taking any
more trips to KSU.
I remember Steve taking trips to spend weekends with us after he
moved to Denver. He loved to play games and drive us around in his
Jeep. He helped Mom and Dad with projects around the house and
always told stories that made us laugh. On one trip Steve brought me a
sketch pad and colored pencils, which meant the world to me. I
remember Steve's thoughtfulness. He had taken the time to get to know
me and was encouraging my interest.
Everyone on our team has a position to play, a function in our family.
We are not defined by these roles, and sometimes we take on more than
one. Sometimes we are the coach and sometimes we are the challenger.
We are not professional athletes, for we are amateurs at best. We all play
for the same team, a family that's been blessed.

- Cortland - Boardman - Twinsburg Decorating with Pat - What is Your Decorating Personality?
by Pat Dempsey
You often hear that you should match your home's design to your
personality and interests, but few color swatches come with names like
“Reads Paranormal Romance Novels,” “Hikes on Weekends” or “Geek.”
I recently came across this quiz while researching ideas for my next
Country Register article. I thought this was fun and wanted to share it with
you. I know that using color in our homes can be challenging and kind of
scary sometimes.
To help you figure out what color palettes will best suit your personality, try
the following personality quiz.
What Is Your Design Personality?
You're making big plans for the
weekend. What are they?
A. Participating in a charity walk
B. Antique shopping
C. Inviting friends over for dinner
D. Touring a haunted house
You're making your favorite dish.
What is it?
A. An all-organic risotto cooked with
ingredients from the local farmer's
market
B. A Moroccan tangine cooked in an authentic ceramic pot
C. Macaroni and cheese, with chocolate chip cookies for dessert
D. A decadent chocolate mousse
A real friend is one who
walks in when the rest of the
world walks out.

What's hanging on your wall?
A. A batik tapestry made by an Indonesian women's collective
B. Framed vintage travel posters
C. Family photographs
D. An Edvard Munch print or, alternatively, an Edward Cullen poster
Mostly A's: Idealist. Those out to save the world will feel at home with
earth-inspired colors, such as cocoa, cinnamon, stone, and taupe. In
addition to choosing a natural color palette, look for products that
conform to your ideals.
Mostly B's: Eclectic. You love authentic and vintage finds and enjoy
layering colors and patterns. Try shades like rose, olive, turquoise, and
sea foam.
Mostly C's: Homebody. You're all about warmth and comfort, and you
like to keep things cozy and intimate. Vary between neutral colors and
warm shades.
Mostly D's: Mysterious Stranger. You appreciate romance and intrigue.
Evoke an Old World sense of fantasy with deep, rich shades of navy,
purple, red and teal. Exotic hardwood floors with deep, rich hues add to
the veiled allure.

INTERNET TECHNOLOGY A GIFT FROM THE WORLD TO TEXTILE FOLK
The world of cyber surfing presents
more new dimensions to your textile
understanding than you ever thought
possible. Do you want your next work
to the best ever? Try adding some
kicky surface design, or an area of
unexpected texture. Maybe you need
some different sources of inspiration.
Standard print sources have been your
fibre references for ages, but now there is the Internet, that magical
treasure trove of world design available to you at the click of a mouse.
To get your mind bubbling - here is a sampling of sites to get you
started:
Selvedge Magazine - www.selvedge.org - This gorgeous magazine
offers the finest in photography and excellent writing. Its website is
easy to navigate and each page offers beautiful graphics and interesting
articles for textile lovers. There are free digital issues available for
immediate perusal, you can subscribe online or at a very reasonable
cost you can subscribe to the print magazine.
the knitting map - www.spaceandculture.org/2005/09/21/weaving-cork
In 2005, Cork Ireland was declared Europe's Capital of Culture. A vast,
audacious project was commissioned. Satellite pictures of Cork, that
tracked the movement of people and cars on the streets, were
transformed into knitting patterns. Weather records dictated the hues of
the yarns chosen. A relay of fifty people worked for a year creating a
gigantic work that served to evoke the experience of walking through
Cork. The Knitting Map project was accomplished with 2500 knitters
from 22 different countries. The interweaving of technological
resources with traditional craftsmanship to create a work of joyous
celebration was unprecedented.
My Ugly Sweater Blog - myuglysweater.blogspot.com The writer of
this blog is witty, eclectic and interesting. She in the subject list of her
cleverly titled posts you can find projects, comments and
conversations. Check out her links to see what 'Crazy Aunt Purl' is
doing, or the latest in Japanese design technologies. It's sheer fun!
Your Internet search often leads you a distance from your starting
point, but given the pleasure of the journey, you forget about the
arrival at a destination.
This June, you won't need to cyber surf to see some splendid textile
work. The Hand Weavers, Spinners & Dyers of Alberta will hold its
annual conference, Land of Varied Perspectives on the SAIT Calgary
Campus from June 7th -12th. Pre-conference workshops offer a
variety of fibre subjects. Space may still be available. The annual
juried show of members' work and the vendor marketplace full of
enticing yarns, fleeces, accessories and much more will be open to the
public.

Farmers Markets
Many farmers markets will be starting in May. They have become
quite popular across Ohio and are a great way to provide your family
with the freshest produce available.
One of the largest and most respected markets in Ohio is The Olde
Worthington Farmers Market which is a project of the Olde
Worthington Business Association (www.owba.net). The summer
market was established in 1987 and over 70 vendors participate in
downtown Worthington on Saturday mornings from 9am to noon
from May through October. A group of volunteers (The Old
Worthington Farmers Market Friends) is dedicated to enhancing the
farmers market experience by promoting healthy, locally produced
food and products, providing education on healthy living, eating
locally and sustainable, and strengthening the bonds of the
community.
To find out more about a farmers market in your area, contact your
local chamber of commerce office.

HAND DYEING FOR ASTOUNDING COLOR
Dyeing your own fabric, yarn or fleece is the best way to achieve the
exact color range you need to produce a fibre work of distinction. Natural dyes
sourced from flora and fauna are high on the list of preferred worldwide
coloring agents. Chemical dyes are also widely available to produce your
desired color choices. Mordants are often used in conjunction with both types of
dyeing materials to assist the color to 'bite in' to the fibre and create a strong
chemical bond. The knowledgeable dyer understands that a high level of
caution is required to handle these sometimes toxic substances.
Dyeing is an art as old as history. Blue has been produced for centuries
using Woad, a spinach-like plant found in backyards and fields. This dye
material is favored by dyers of wool and cotton. In its modern technological
application, it is considered to be a possible material for use in production of
blue ink-jet cartridges. The Common Madder plant naturally grows in Africa
and temperate parts of Asia and America. Madder produces roots up to a meter
14
long, which are ground up and used for red dyes. Natural red dye can also
be produced from Cochineal, a tiny sucking beetle that lives on the leaves
of theprickly pear cactus. Yellow can be obtained from processing readily
available onion skins or marigolds from your backyard. Yellow-dyed
yarns and fabrics have been found to be less light-fast than those colored
with other natural dyes. Any color on the spectrum can be produced from
these three primaries in combination with each other in different
proportions. Dyers of natural fibers - wool, cotton and silk - favor using
natural dyes to maintain the organic integrity of their finished products.
Why not cyber-surf on over to www.hwsda.org to the website of the Hand
Weavers, Spinners & Dyers of Alberta to see some splendid textile work
from the artists belonging to one of Alberta's oldest fibre arts guilds? Once
there, you'll find news and information - and plenty of inspiration!

Try out wall decals. Inexpensive, available
in a multitude of colors and patterns, and
easy to install, wall decals work wonders to
fill a hole and cheer a space. Stick-on
decorations can
be used in many
different ways.
Use in place of a
headboard (create
your own design),
to add whimsy to
a room or for
inspiration. Most
wall decals start
around $20 and can go up to a bit over $100
for the full wall decals. Vinyl wall decals
aren't permanent—so your wall designs can
change with your decor. Many of the shops
advertising in The Country Register carry
wall decals.

shop owners
that you saw

Dimmers are the ultimate lighting
accessory. If you’re not using a
dimmer, you’re limiting a room’s
potential. Think of it this way: It’s
not so much what a dimmer adds to
a room as what traditional
lighting—in all its neon glory—takes
away. A dimmer switch is like a
mood switch. You can turn on the mood just by turning
down your dimmer. Whether you choose a basic or
integrated style, the toughest part is taking the time to
install them.

Quilting With Barbara
Occasionally people (non-quilters, of course) tell me, “Yes, quilting
looks interesting, and I enjoy sewing, but after I've made a couple [of
quilts] what would I do? I've got only (fill in number) grandchildren.
Who else would I make them for? What's the point?”
Well, I have news for them: quilts as gifts need not be confined to small
grandchildren and their parents. These grandchildren grow up. They
will graduate from high school, and maybe from university. They will
marry. They will celebrate anniversaries. They will have children of
their own. All these rites of passage call for celebratory quilts which
will be special one-of-a-kind mementos for years to come. I know one
grandmother who, thinking she may not be here to see all her
grandchildren married, has made wedding quilts for them in advance.
Talk about paying it forward! Special friends have special occasions
too.
And what's wrong with making one or more quilts for yourself to match
home décor or to snuggle under while watching TV?
Local charities and causes can be supported by donations of quilts to
money-raising raffles, to children's hospitals and Ronald McDonald
Houses, to local authorities which apprehend children from abusive or
drug-infested homes (often the children leave with only the clothing
they are wearing), to Victim Services, to organizations which help the
homeless, to women's and youth shelters… A certain generosity of spirit
is required to make and donate quilts to strangers; quilters embody this
generosity in abundance. These positive, generous people do much to
allay some of the misery in this world, and, on a personal note, these are
the kinds of people I most wish to associate with.
There are people and countries in need of the physical and emotional
benefits represented by gifts of quilts. Think New Zealand and Japan. In
the last few months quilters in North America have received requests
from fellow quilters in both these countries for quilt blocks and
completed quilts. Gladly and promptly sent, these quilts represent
concern and love for earthquake and tsunami victims. Donors receive
personal satisfaction, knowing it is better to give than receive, and
recipients reap not only physical comfort, but the emotional benefit of
knowing someone cares. Some churches finance numerous projects
near and far through annual auctions of donated quilts, some of which
sell for thousands of dollars. People who love animals and lots of
quilters do sew up otherwise-unusable scraps and unloved (why did I
ever buy that?) fabric to make cushions and mats for humane shelters.
Lastly, some might-be quilters question the expense they may incur.
True, the quilting habit can be expensive. It can also be almost free.
One can spend several hundred dollars on a single quilt or nothing at all
except time. Many organizations and quilting guilds receive new
donated fabrics. Local churches, guilds and individuals have also
contributed their time, materials and skills to produce quilts for causes
too numerous to list. Recycling and re-purposing fabric (See Bonnie K.
Hunter's books Leaders and Enders and Scraps and Shirttails: Re-use,
Re-purpose, Recycle! The Art of Quilting Green, Kansas City Star
Books) are other ways to make inexpensive quilts that, incidentally, are
good for the environment.
So if you are a quilting might-wanna-be, what are you waiting for?
Who wouldn't want to become part of a large company of generoushearted, positive people who contribute to the well-being of the world
and its people? Can you think of a more constructive occupation?

Piecing Life Together by Barbara Polston
I've lived in Arizona for over 20 years. When I travel to other parts of
the country, I answer the question, “Where are you from?” with,
“Arizona.” Because so many Arizona residents are transplants from
other parts of the country, when you're asked the same question within
the boundaries of our state, you generally answer with where you
were born and raised. In my case, that's a small town in the Chicago
suburbs.
Recently, I was teaching a class in Prescott, Arizona. My students
were learning my fabric painting techniques. We were having a great
time and, in addition to painting, getting to know each other. One of
the students asked where I was from. Being within the confines of
Arizona, I answered that I grew up in the suburbs of Chicago. “What
suburb?” asked another student and I responded with the name of my
home town, Broadview.
Turns out, Broadview was her home town as well. It didn't take too
many minutes for us to discover that not only did we share the same
home town, but for a brief period we were next door neighbors. Ann,
my painting student, was going off to college when my family moved
in; I was just a year old. To deepen the connections of our past, Ann's
mother was my beloved kindergarten teacher. I don't use the word
“beloved” lightly; I truly loved her mother and remember many things
about my time as her student.
I shared with Ann my memories of her mother, who passed away in
her 90s over well over ten years ago. I remember picking flowers
from our garden to take to school for my teacher. Terrified that bees
would bother me as I carried the flowers, I coerced my mother into
boxing them. Teacher had lovely white hair, which I recognize now
was certainly “prematurely grey.” She took full advantage of her
striking appearance, wearing clothing in pastel shades of lilac, blue,
and pink. She played the piano, teaching us simple songs. In those
days, children didn't go to preschool. Kindergarten was traumatic for
many of us; it was the first time we were separated from our mothers
and homes. She made that transition painless and set me on the path
of loving school and learning, a path I've stayed on my entire life.
Without shame, I confess that I cried almost all the way home from that
teaching engagement. I couldn't wait to call my mother and share this
amazing experience with her. Who could have predicted that, thousands
of miles and many year separated from my home town, I would be able
to tell my beloved kindergarten teacher's daughter how much her
mother meant to me? Truly, I feel very blessed.
I also realize that, without quilting, I would have never had this
experience. Quilting brings people together in amazing ways. Although
there are over 21 million quilters in America, there can be no doubt that
it's a small world!

The Bag Lady
Have you noticed that retailers everywhere are
selling re-usable shopping bags? My husband
tries to convince me that I’m paying for them to
advertise by using the bags with their logos, and
I could easily use one of the zillion tote bags I
already own. I just smile; I love these bags!
Shamefully, it’s not even the green nature of
using them that I like - it’s the sheer variety.
Shapes, sizes, colors, prints - I love them all. I
keep them in the car so that I have them ready
anytime I want to run in to the store for
something. I keep my son’s sports equipment in
a large one. I have one that I use to go to the
gym. I have an insulated one that is just right for
drinks and snacks on the run. The best part of
these nifty bags is that they are so affordable.
Usually less than $1.99, it’s not a tragedy if one
gets lost or left behind, and hopefully someone
else will find it and use it as much as I do. Pick
up one or two the next time you see one you
like - you’ll be a bag lady, too!

Happy Spring to my Country Register
friends,
The calendar says Spring and yesterday
the weather cooperated with a beautiful
warm and sunny day that made me go
outdoors and of course I had to go
exploring. It was the perfect day to visit
another wonderful shop I found in my
Country Register. The daffodils in my
garden are in full bloom and I just couldn't stay indoors so any longer
so off to Milan Ohio I went to check out a Country Register Country
Square.
I love the Country Squares in the back of the Country Register. They
and are always filled with wonderful shops and shows and I visited
one that you absolutely have to add to your next trip. We are so
blessed to have these truly unique shops here in Ohio. It is so not the
mall shopping experience. Forget the box stores and support the shops
you read about in the Country Register.
The Gatherings was my destination and was full and I mean full of the
most wonderful small primitive items and antiques. There is truly
something for anyone who loves that primitive touch at the
Gatherings in Milan, Ohio. You have to take your time and look at
each and every vignette or you will miss Sandy's fabulous talent of
display and design. Her choices are delightful from the antiques to
wonderful gift ideas.
The Gatherings was filled throughout the shop with Spring which was
so uplifting and made me rethink my winter décor at home. I love
rabbits and was so happy going around the shop and seeing her Spring
touches everywhere. I couldn't wait to get home with my finds and
bring Spring into my country home.
I met Lori who was so welcoming and friendly. She does some of the
wonderful items in fabric that are throughout the store. I loved it all. It
is so nice to find a shop that has really nice handmade goods and
smalls that obviously are made from the love of the craft and straight
from the heart.
The Gatherings has small cupboards, cubbies and interesting small
antique furniture pieces to choose from and the way the shop is
decorated you won't have any problems visualizing how these unique
pieces would fit into your home.
The Gatherings looks small from the outside but trust me you will
need time to go through all of the rooms and see their offerings. Every
time I went around different things caught my eye. The themes
throughout the shop are amazing. I love kitchenware and they have
green, red and of course wonderful primitive items for you to choose
from. The Gatherings selection of vintage lace is really nice so if you
need a bit of lace for that special project or display in your home they
have a nice selection to choose from. I also loved the pin keeps made
from old fabric, quilt pieces and old zinc lids. I found so many things
to fill my old wooden bowls at home. The Gatherings is filled with so
many things that made me smile and brought back great memories.
There is a touch of whimsy that was so refreshing in the Gatherings.
It really was so much to take in on my first visit and I can't wait to go
back. It's just a hop right off the Ohio Turnpike so don't miss this
wonderful treasure in Milan. Plan a trip soon to the Gatherings, you
won't be disappointed.
Please remember our furry friends and if you have room in your home
and heart check out the wonderful cats and dogs that are waiting in
rescue for a forever family and home.
Country Blessings,
?

A Cool Dinnertime
The warm days of spring are giving way to the hotter days
of summer and it's time to pull out some cool dinner ideas.
The temperature can soar in the late afternoon and early
evening and you may not want to heat up your kitchen in
the heat of the day. Grilling can be a good option, but
sometimes it's just too warm outside to stand over a hot
grill. Another good reason for a cold supper is more
personal - I often need something easy to pull out of the
refrigerator after a long lazy afternoon at the pool! Try this
yummy recipe. You can put it together in the morning and
it makes a great dinner all by itself. Enjoy!
Antipasto Pasta Salad
8 oz. rotini pasta (or any other small pasta)
2 oz. chopped salami
2 oz. chopped pepperoni
4 oz. diced Monterey jack cheese
1 small can sliced black olives, drained
1/2 red bell pepper, diced
1/2 green bell pepper, diced
1 roma tomato, diced
1 pkg. Good Seasons Italian salad dressing mix, plus
ingredients to prepare
2 T. freshly grated parmesan cheese
Cook pasta al dente, drain and rinse with cold water. Set
aside while preparing ingredients. Make salad dressing
according to directions on pkg.; I like to use red wine
vinegar. Combine 1st 8 ingredients. Pour over about 1/2 c.
salad dressing. Add more to your taste. If making ahead of
time, you can always add more dressing just before
serving. Refrigerate. Just before serving, sprinkle with
fresh grated Parmesan and toss.

Restoring Your Treasures
Have you ever found some wonderful books in an
antique shop and you desperately wanted to take
them home and put them on your shelf, but the
musty odor stopped you? Antique shops and used
bookstores can be a treasure trove, but getting rid
of that used bookstore smell can be a daunting
task! Try this trick. Set the book up in front of a fan
for a couple of days. Then place it in a plastic
storage container with a box of baking soda for a
few days. Hardbound books will take longer
because the hard covers tend to hold the musty
smell a little longer than paperbacks. Susan

Help the Birds
• Put up a bird feeder and a
bird house. • Never disturb a
bird nest. Many birds will
abandon the nest if the eggs or
chicks have been disturbed.
• In springtime, hang nesting
materials in tree branches, bushes or
near the birdfeeder. • String, wool, grasses or
straw are all helpful to songbirds when they are
constructing their nests. • Try not to use
insecticides in your garden. These chemicals can
poison birds if they eat contaminated seeds, berries
or insects, or drink contaminated water. • Birds
enjoy a birdbath. It is a ready source of water for
drinking and dunking. • Most young birds have a
period where they leave the nest, but can't quite fly
yet. They may be on the ground
for a day or so, hopping about
and looking quite perplexed.
Time to keep kitty indoors and
just leave the young ones alone.

Summer Highlights
Summer is a great time for a change in hair color. For the most
part, warm-weather events are light and easy and we want our
look to reflect that. Adding highlights to your hair can be a fun
way to change up your look. Highlights done in a salon can be
time-consuming and expensive, and some people don't like to
use chemicals on their hair. If this sounds like you, try some of
these natural highlights at home. Before using any of these
ideas, wash your hair with a moisturizing shampoo and use a
good conditioner. If your hair tends to be on the lighter side or
you want dramatic highlights, dilute lemon juice with water.
Spray on your hair (don't soak it) and sit in the sun for 30
minutes or so. Rinse hair well. Repeat until you get the results
you want. If you have darker hair or want dramatic highlights,
use coffee or black tea. In the shower, pour cooled
coffee or tea over your hair several times. Rinse
thoroughly. Condition hair, repeat if necessary.
