O. Box 37 - Cable, OH 43009 937-652-1157, Fax: 937-484-8963 Email : [email protected] http:///www.countryregister.com 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. USA 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! The Country Register In Your Mailbox? We Can Do That... SUBSCRIPTIONS The Country Register is distributed as a complimentary gift from its advertisers, and we encourage you to stop by your favorite shop every two months to pick up your new copy. However, for the convenience of those who may not be able to get to a shop, we do offer subscriptions for $18.00 per year (Continental U.S.) to cover the cost of postage and handling.

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. Jim Nelson enjoyed a career at the Spokane Review and retired in Spokane.

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 million unique views per month. “BlogHer recognizes the handmade community THE CREATIVE CONNECTION brings together. We are honored to have the largest women's social media community as our media partner,” says Jo Packham, creator of WHERE WOMEN CREATE and WHERE WOMEN COOK. Many sponsors have lent their expertise and support to the event, including presenting sponsor Sterling Publishing, one of the world's leading publishers of illustrated, nonfiction, fiction, and children's books. Other sponsors include VOGUEKnitting and MaryJanesFarm, both of whom have gathered top needle art and food instructors for THE CREATIVE CONNECTION's lineup of classes. Founding sponsor Stampington & Company has been a leading source of information and inspiration for arts and crafts lovers around the world. The magazines Where Women Cook and Where Women Create are founding sponsors of the event as well. Headlining the event's are two accomplished women: television personality, author and entrepreneur, Cristina Ferrare, and author and founder of the internationally-known design site, decor8, Holly Becker. These remarkable women will share their stories of turning their passions into successful media-driven businesses, and talk about their creative processes. Bestselling author of five books, Ferrare hosts a show for OWN, the Oprah Winfrey Network, called Cristina Ferrare's Big Bowl of Love. Through decor8, Becker delivers fresh design ideas meant to inspire the site's 45,000+ daily readers to live a more fulfilling, authentic, and creative life.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

Cleveland Miniaturia Society’s 40th Show & Sale “Christmas Stories in Miniature” Sat, Oct 8, 2011 - 10am-4pm Main Ballroom of Don Umerley Civic Center 21016 Hilliard Blvd, Rocky River, Ohio Proceeds donated to Cleveland Foodbank www.clevelandminiaturiasociety.org info: [email protected] 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.

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!
