Books
The ‘simply country book series’ consists of 64 house tour books and 4 garden tour books. Initially the books were arranged by room but, over time, collectors starting asking to see the entire house. The books are used for inspiration and decorating tips. The styles vary from primitive cabins to high-country colonial. Country is in NO way a thing of the past; it has evolved into many forms. Authenticating a Country Dwelling is an educational tool on how to stage a period room; a step beyond merely decorating a space. A sequel, A Primer for a Country Dwelling, helps and educates on what a 19thC home might look like. Many of my readers have been with me since February 2005 when the first book, Country on a Shoestring, was published. Most are still available and some reprinted 2-3 times
Candles
Ten years ago I purchased my first Luminara candle – ivory with a movable wick, built-in timer and a remote capability. I carefully placed it on my 19thC mantel and gazed at it for over a month trying to convince myself that the look of an ivory candle blended with my 19thC period décor. Out of desperation, I disappeared into the basement one Saturday afternoon. Pulling out my old pots of blackened wax, I experimented and developed the dark hand-poured grungy country candles that have been popular now for almost ten years. With thousands of pillars sold, I moved into an 8” taper and finally a votive size for those small spaces. It took me a few years to convince a manufacturer that there is a market for the 6” taper for use with our antique lanterns and candleholders. Voila! TaDa! I was thrilled when they were produced about six years ago and happy that they've been a hit with customers looking for a safe candle for their sconces. Candles are available on ebay under the seller ID 'superct', on Amazon and from select country shops.
