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.

Hello Everyone!
Hope you’re having a great summer! We went to a retirement party the
other evening - many of our friends were there with their families. So
wonderful to see all of our kids grown up - and now we all enjoy talking
about our grandchildren. We laughed at the way our get-togethers have
changed over the years; we used to dance and party into the wee hours;
now we sit around and talk and say goodnight way before midnight! We
still have lots of fun though visiting with our friends who have become
more like family over the years.
Things are changed up a little in this issue - look for the Shows & Events
section on page 30 and the Country Squares on page 23. As usual, we
have tons of neat things for your enjoyment. Check out a recipe from
Vickie at North Shore Primitives on page 32, basic instructions on doing
a blanket stitch on page 14, and instructions for a really cute and easy
cover for the small tissue package from Deb at Country Mercantile on
page 25 (she gave me one of these cute little packages the last time I was
in her shop and I liked it so much I asked for the instructions and
permission to share them with our readers!) Our Secret Shopper visited
Pioneer Loft in Millersburg and Chillicothe Craft Mall in Chillicothe for
this issue (read her letter on page 18.) She always gives us a special
insight on the shops she visits.
A special thank you to all our contributors. Everyone is good to lend a
hand in helping us put together a fun paper. If you have a recipe or story
you’d like to share, we’d love to hear from you. Send us a note at the
address or email shown above.
Be sure to stop by your favorite shop and check out some new ones, and
thank them for supporting The Country Register. We appreciate their
support and have a lot of fun bringing their information to you.
Have a wonderful summer!

What the Fourth of July Means To Me
by James A. Nelson
The Fourth of July has meant many
different things to me over the past sixtyeight years. All my perceptions were of the
utmost importance at that particular
moment in time.
To me, as a child growing up, the Fourth
meant an all-important day off from
chores, usually accompanied by a family
outing, firecrackers, baked beans, bonfires
and, of course, wieners and marshmallows
on a stick.
To me, as a draftee during a forgotten war
(the Korean Conflict) the Fourth of July
meant a time to serve my country. As my
Dad used to say, "Your country, right or
wrong, Jimmy." His logic was never
questioned.
Later, I would wonder why it was a
forgotten war. I will never know the
reasons and no one seems to care. A war
was never declared nor an armistice
signed. But the row upon row of white crosses bear mute testimony to its
harsh reality.
As a father, I continued to celebrate with my family this usually warm
summer holiday with the age-old traditions of my childhood, the camp
outs and everything that goes with these happy memorable times.
The years have progressed and the celebrations have diminished. Like in
The Winds of War, families have become more scattered due to the tugs of
love and economic survival. Now, with each passing year, as I face my
own mortality, the real meaning of the Fourth of July, Independence Day,
seems stronger than ever. You have to view only the first fifteen minutes
of Saving Private Ryan to realize the true meaning of the Fourth of July.
In comparison, picture, if you can, George Washington with his ragtag
army crossing the Delaware on December 26, 1776, during a bitter cold
winter that tried men's souls. Yet these two very different armies had the
same ideals, love of freedom, a burning patriotic spirit and the
willingness to make unimaginable sacrifices. These same attributes
symbolize all our great leaders and their armies, past and present.
These are the things I will ponder on July 4th as I unfurl my flag with
pride. I will thank those who went before and those yet to come, all those
who paid the price for our freedom. Happy Fourth of July.

- Bloomville - Tiffin - Bettsville National Woman’s Conference
THE CREATIVE CONNECTION, a national conference and market
celebrating creative women and entrepreneurs, comes to St. Paul,
Minnesota on September 15-17. Bringing together the creative
process of handmade goods and food with the marketing savvy of
business and social media, the second annual event will draw on the
rich experience of over 100 industry experts, entrepreneurs, and
authors.
Hands-on workshops in cooking, knitting, sewing, jewelry making,
crochet, creative writing, paper crafts, photography, food styling, book
publishing, painting, baking, cheese making, canning, journaling, and
more will be joined with social networking and business panels that
focus on the practical details of setting up, running, and marketing a
business and leveraging its impact through blogging and other social
media.
THE CREATIVE CONNECTION was launched in 2010. The event
united and galvanized creative women and women entrepreneurs who
are passionate about living a creative life. Now in its second year, the
event has joined forces with BlogHer as its official media partner.
BlogHer, the largest women's social media network, receives over 25

Decorating with Pat “Take It Outside”
by Pat Dempsey
It is hard to believe that those summer months are upon us already and
that it is time to Take It Outside!!!
This is one of my favorite times of the year. We can move some of our
activities to the outdoor areas of our home. I would love for you to think
about the outdoors as an extension of your home. How can you create that
special atmosphere in your backyard, on your deck or front porch?
Something that screams
your personality.
First, let's think about some
seating. This could be as
simple as pulling out last
year's lawn furniture.
Maybe it doesn't quite look
as good as you remembered
it when you put it in the
storage shed. That's ok,
because we are going to
change it a bit. We could
start with some paint, if it is something that can be painted. But if not, let's
add some colorful cushions to give it some pop. It looks better already,
doesn't it?
Find just the right spot for this furniture and now let's bring in a small
table. Add a cute placemat to make it look like a doily and then let's find
something that we can cut those beautiful flowers growing around the yard
and make a vase out of it. In the summer a galvanized bucket looks great
with flower blooms in it. A watering can or even something as simple as a
Ball jar makes a great vase for those beautiful blooms.
Things are beginning to look better already. What about some lighting. On
those wonderful summer evenings it would be great to have the soft glow
of candle light. Lanterns are great for this purpose. Find as many as you
can that might be hanging around. Group them together on the deck or
even hang them in a tree or from the ceiling of the front porch.
Something that I have enjoyed doing for years is to use a very large glass
jar - like one that pickles come in. Now I am talking large! I put some
sand in the bottom of the jar and place a pillar candle down inside that is
nestled in the sand. Tie a colorful ribbon around the mouth of jar and you
have a wonderful lantern to add to your collection. Make a couple of
these and place them on the steps leading up to your front door. What a
welcoming light they will be as friends and neighbors come to visit.
Now let's think about one more thing we can add to our outdoor room.
Something for the wall. You might be thinking, but wait, what wall?
Well, it could be the wall on your front porch, or deck, or maybe just the
outside of your house near your grouping of chairs. What would be fun to
hang on the wall here? Well, do you have an old shutter? You could paint
it a fun color and hang it there. Maybe even think about what you could
hang on the tree trunk, if you seating is further away from you home.
Something else that is fun is an old gate or part of a fence. Put on your
thinking cap and maybe even head for some yard sales or antique shops
with your new “Outdoor Room” in mind. No telling what you might find
there.
If you are decorating your porch or deck, then you might also want to add
a great outdoor rug to the scene you are creating. Have fun while
decorating your outdoor space. You can use your imagination and since
there are no rules for outdoor decorating, you can get a little crazy and
enjoy. Hope this gives you some ideas and inspiration to “Take It
Outside” this summer.

Holiday Jump-Start
It's hot outside! What better time to check with
your local fabric store, craft store or kitchen studio,
and find a class you'd like to take? Preferably
inside! Maybe you're a quilter, but you've always
wanted to learn to knit. Perhaps you're a
wonderful cook, but could use some tips to
become a better baker. A stroll through your
favorite craft store or craft fair can inspire lots of
new ideas of things you'd like to try. If you start
now, you may even be able to get a couple of
items created in time for Christmas presents.
What better inspiration to try something new than
to have fun AND get your Christmas shopping and
creating underway? Check with your favorite
scrapbook store; they may even have classes to
help you make your own Christmas cards. Get a
jump on things while having fun at the same time!

projects at each shop created especially for this event. Participants will
have the chance to win gift baskets and prizes at each shop. Completed

Steppin’ Out Quilt Tour is a proud supporter of ConKerr Cancer, a
charity which donates homemade pillowcases to pediatric oncology units
to spread a smile to those in need. If participants wish to “purchase” their
passport with a pillowcase donation, pillowcases should be made with
100% cotton fabric, washed and placed in a quart-size plastic zip bag
prior to donation. Instructions for making the pillowcases can be found at
each shop and online at www.conkerrcancer.org. In 2010, the Steppin’
Out Quilt Tour group of shops committed to a goal of donating 2,010
pillowcases to ConKerr Cancer. They surpassed that goal with an
astounding 3,228 pillowcases made by generous quilting friends and
customers!
“ConKerr Cancer: A Case for Smiles” was started when Ryan Kerr was
diagnosed with a rare form of bone cancer at the age of twelve. Despite
his illness - and many, many trips to the hospital - Ryan lived a full life
of school, sports and friends. To make his hospital room cheerier, his
mom Cindy began making fun, whimsical pillowcases to brighten up his
day and put a smile on his face. Ryan liked them so much that Cindy
started making pillowcases for the other children in the Oncology Unit.
In a short time, the pillowcase project grew in amazing ways and has
provided more than 160,000 pillowcases to sick children. Thousands of
volunteers from across North America as well as South Africa have
helped in more than 100 chapters serving over 150 hospitals.
For more information on ConKerr Cancer, please visit their web site
www.conkerrcancer.org. For more information on the Steppin’ Out Quilt
Tour, contact one of the participating shops.

From the Journal
of the
Country Register
Secret Shopper!
Hello Country Register Readers,
I go to my old favorite shops and find new shops I
read about in my Country Register. I really love
these home owned shops that are so unique and
always give me great new ideas for my country
home and garden.
The other day I was in Millersburg and stopped at
the Pioneer Loft located right downtown. The
building itself has such charm and character. Built
over 100 years ago this shop has old wood floors
with beautiful shop windows facing the main street. You feel as if you have
stepped back in time. The old store was the perfect setting for what Denise and
her husband have to offer. The front part of the shop is primitive and I had to
walk around a few times just to take it all in. Denise has blended both large
and small antiques with her husband's charming wooden pieces. They are
painted small cupboards that hang on the wall or set on a table that he has made
with an aged look. One of his bigger pieces was a wall hanging cupboard to
hold your kitchenware along with your old rolling pin. It was a really nice
primitive piece for kitchenware display. His wooden items are are small and
charming and can easily be added anywhere to display for you small oddments.
Denise has her sewing machine set up behind the counter and embroiders
wonderful old looking linen towels. I really liked her original patterns and of
course her star pattern was my favorite.
?
The back part of the shop is light and airy with a nice selection of cottage decor
items. Denise has a great eye and has displayed the cottage items in such a
pleasing way that you can't resist her offerings. Lots of Depression glass and
lovely linens are displayed throughout the back of her shop. Put Pioneer Loft on
your list of shops to stop in this summer.
A few weeks ago I ran down to Chillicothe of course with my Country Register
at the ready just in case I had some extra time to explore the area. This area is
full of Ohio history and the people there are happy to share their history with
you. This was Ohio's first capital and the downtown area has a lot of historic
charm and the surrounding area is filled with Indian lore and mounds.
I had to go into the bank downtown because they have no drive-thru ATM and I
got a great local history lesson from the bank teller when I told him I was from
out of town. Just north of downtown I stopped at the Chillicothe Craft Mall. I
was greeted so nicely when I came in the door and really enjoyed myself while I
looked around the aisles of crafter booths and antique dealers. Kathy and her
vendors have a great blend of both new and old items. I liked the selection of
country furniture in the farmhouse style and my favorite was the barn siding
outhouse that would be perfect in my garden to store my gardening tools in.
There is a good selection of smaller country furniture pieces that would work
beautifully in a country home. They have a good selection of shelves and
pictures throughout the Mall. I really liked the large star quilt hangers and the
snowmen painted on old windows. The blend of both old and new is just right. I
felt so welcome there and will be back soon. Chillicothe is a very friendly town
and would be a great local vacation stop for you and your family this summer.
As always please remember our animal friends that are in need of new forever
homes. One of our local pounds has a food bank to help people keep their pets in
their homes in these economic times, but on Monday when I was there to get 2
dogs for our rescue group the cupboard was bare. So if you can, please consider
a donation to help the animals either in your local rescue group or animal
shelter. Thank you! Country Blessings,

A Robbins Nest/Signature Antiques has now moved in its new location
at 184 W. Main Street in Russells Point, Ohio. The new location, west
of Rite Aid Pharmacy, just off US SR 33, is itself a fine antique of the
historic Indian Lake area--the old Indian lake Community Center. Set
between historic Sandy Beach Park and
White Cottage, the building became a
real community building, organized and
chartered in 1936 as Indian Lake
Community Club and Gathering Place.
As antiques are the original “green”
items, the new store location has a green
attitude as well. Eric Grandi Construction
is leading this “green attitude” by reusing This is the original ground
much of the original early century materials breaking Oct,27 1932.
used by previous proprietors to restore the building to its original
historic layout and beauty. The building is being revitalized into an open
1400 square foot showroom with the original sixteen foot high tin
ceiling exposed. The Community Center's basketball court that many
Indian lake baby boomers played on has been reclaimed and restored.
Due to the dedicated efforts of people with vision the building will once
again become full of life and a focal point of the area.
The shop's antiques and gifts have been so
successful that they have added several lines
of candles, wreaths, specialty soaps, lotions,
as well as home and garden décor and gifts
for all occasions. You will find everything
from gallery quality artwork and fine antique
furniture to garden décor and new gift items
at this shop. Customers from Maryland, New York, and as far away as
Europe have found their way to Indian Lake and Ohio travelers find it is
a short day trip to visit the shop and lunch at the Lake's eateries. Store
hours are Monday and Wednesday 2-6 PM; Thursday through Saturday
11AM-6PM; Sunday 12-5PM; closed on Tuesday. Call for an appointment at 937-842-2205 or email at [email protected].

- London - Washington Court House Mini-Makeover Time
Looking to make a small, relatively painless makeover in
your home? Look no further than your bathroom! Usually
decorated upon moving into a home and then promptly
forgotten, the bathroom is one of the easiest rooms in
which to make subtle changes that can have a big impact
on your home. Choose a new theme and pick out one new
accessory to base your decorating upon. Perhaps you
found a terrific vintage mirror at an antique store perfect! Maybe you'd like to go with a nautical theme how about using that neat oar your son made at camp as a
wall hanging? There is no end to the possibilities for a
small space like a bathroom. Once you have that one
perfect accessory, choose a new wall color and paint if
needed. You can stencil, use a pattern, or even use a
textured paint. Add the perfect rug, some fresh new
towels, a new candle or bowl of potpourri and you have
your new space. You did it yourself, it didn't blow the
budget, and it's all new to you. What more can you ask
for?! Susan Tipsord 2011

- Cincinnati Change Your World
Change Your Mind
Anais Nin said “When I cannot bear outer pressures
anymore, I begin to put order in my belongings. . .
As if unable to organize and control my life, I seek
to exert this on the world of objects.”
Many of us have felt unable to control the world
around us at one time or another. Nin had a point in
that putting order in one's own world is one way to
feel in control. When you feel like your
surroundings are getting the best of you, try
organizing a small corner of your world. This can be
as simple as going through the magazines on the
coffee table and recycling ones you have read.
Perhaps clearing your counter top and putting out
some fresh flowers are what you need.
It doesn't have to be a complex undertaking; just
taking control of a small space can change your
outlook and perk up your day.

Lisa Hilliker has spent all her life in northern
Vermont. Surrounded by natural beauty and
abundant wildlife, it is not surprising that both
have become sources of inspiration for her. "I love
animals and nature. Old barns are so beautiful, I
just had to use them to produce my artwork".
Hilliker has been creating art since she was a small
child. Early teachers included her artistic mother
and grandmother, and an extraordinarily talented
eighth grade teacher. From there she has learned
from other artists and let her powers of observation
guide her. "When it's time for something to be
painted, it makes itself known. One just has to
open to the vibes" she says.
After Lisa selects the right piece of barn board for a project, she sands it
and gives it a base coat of paint. She then paints, working primarily in
acrylics, and finishes the piece with an antiquing process and final
protective coat of varnish.

Volunteering is a wonderful way to get
out and be a part of your community while
helping to fulfill a need. Perhaps you would
like to volunteer, but aren't quite sure how to go about
it. Start by searching out organizations that you support
in other ways. Hospitals, park districts and schools are
almost always in need of volunteers in a variety of positions.
There are many national non-profits, such as the Red Cross or
the March of Dimes, that rely heavily on volunteers and are
always looking for good help. If you would like to volunteer
your time and just aren't quite sure what is available in your
area, you can also look at websites such as www.allforgood.org
or www.volunteermatch.org. These websites keep a database of
volunteer opportunities that you can look at and make an
inquiry if you are interested. The key to volunteering is
finding a good match for your skills and personality.
Give of yourself and much more will come back to
you! Susan Tipsord 2011
