A new year often involves changes in our lives and businesses. I read recently that on average, a business loses half its customers in 3 years. But that is not the case with The Country Register! Our ‘customers’ stick with us because they see results. Being in the paper helps new customers find them and they stay in business. Thank you for supporting the businesses that support this paper for you to enjoy. Back to “changes” ...sometimes people change direction and that is currently the case with one of our original advertisers. From the very first issue I published ten years ago, Antiques at the Market has been on board supporting the paper as our areas trade publication with a half page ad for their mall on Eastern at Sunset. Before I opened my store in Boulder City, I had 3 booths there. So it is with many good memories and a personal sense of passing and loss that I announce their upcoming closure. Please read more in the article on page 10, and stop by soon. On a brighter side, we have five new vintage shops for you. Please welcome them with a visit as soon as you can and tell them The Country Register sent you! Three are in the Downtown Las Vegas area: Humble History (#6 on our Quick Guide to the right), B & D Antiques, # 7, Rick’s Rusty Lane, a mini antique mall at Rick’s Restorations new location (#12), and two are in Old Town Boulder City, Bella Marketplace and Piper Bootsey, # 18 and #19 on our back page Boulder City map so if you venture twice, you can see them all. If you are a show-vending crafter, artist or antiques dealer, take note of our article on page 12 concerning applications for the shows that participate on our Spring Festival Centerfold. It is a good idea to save the whole paper to refer to, but if not, at least clip out the calendar on this page. There are 3 outstanding annual events: Morphy’s January auction, The LVABCC show, and the Glass Craft & Bead show. This is Quilt show season. We have three within an hour’s drive advertised on page 14. Grab a couple of friends and share the rides and fun! As always, please be sure and tell our advertisers that you enjoy The Country Register. It is available free to you because of their participation!

THE AUCTION OPTION - RARE TREASURES! In my last Auction Option column I quoted something I often say: “Anything you could want or need shows up at auction if you can wait and watch for it”. In this column, I want to add that there are sometimes things so novel that you don’t know you want them because you don’t even know they exist. But even though they may not be on your radar, they can still offer tremendous opportunity! Here are just some of the things that have turned up at auction and gotten me excited... (and a few of them I even now own!) Recently at McManus Auctions, there were three mid-century Predicta television sets, and yes, even the model made famous on a local reality show! The same week also featured a fabulous collection of mid-century ashtray stands, Beatles posters, and a photo booth. Collectors of early audio equipment, whether recorded or radio, can often find it at McManus Auctions. In the last year, I have seen tiny

cylindar wind-ups and numerous Victrolas, often with huge horns going through our auctions. There have also been a lot of fantastic early radios in beautiful wood cabinets. Occasionally, there are stunning mid-century modern stereo cabinets too. At Clark County Auction, I recently bid on several interior panels of a turn-of-the-century Pullman coach, which was considered luxury train travel in its day. The lot even included a fancy door frame. As soon as the gavel dropped, I envisioned a dozen ways I could have used it and wished I had gone higher. The $200 limit I had set for myself was more of a reflection of how I would transport it than of its value to me. I did snag the equally-old counter-top ribbon dispenser shop display. I can imagine the fine laces and velvet ribbons that have graced its spools. No one else knew what it was, including the auctioneer. I also scored the biggest balance beam scale I have ever seen, it’s now displayed in my booth at a new mall in Boulder City, Bella Marketplace. Old scales and store displays such as cabinets and wooden barrels are great for adding character to today’s stores and even homes and offices. One of the most novel things I have ever bought at auction is a 4’ paper mache stork that is about 100 years old. At first I thought it was something that may have rented out to be displayed in a front yard at the arrival of a new baby. But now I believe it to have been a store display, to draw attention to various infant supplies. It will be perfect for a display of antique baby dishes, bottles, silverware, rattles and other crib toys and beautifully illustrated linen books. Were any of these on my ‘want’ or ‘need’ list? No, and I was not anticipating them at auction. In order to avoid spur-of-the-moment buys that I shake my head at later, I find that previewing is important. It is an opportunity to look the item over carefully for a maker’s mark and any flaws in its condition. It allows a chance to research the market and set a ceiling for my bidding. In some cases, there are no comparisons, but I still set a limit for the item, based on the purpose it would serve in my life, whether for profit, or enjoyment.

THE AUCTION OPTION FOR PRACTICAL SOURCING by Glena Dunn
While rare treasures are what makes auction hunting exciting, there are other types of items I am happy to find going through auction frequently. I watch for those that are staple sellers in my shop. These range from items I sell for $5 or less such as the Beanie Babies, comics, sports cards and Little Golden Books that I stock for kids, to pricier categories that I specialize in such as Native American jewelry. Once in a while, there will even be a pedal car or two. I love it when a customer asks me to watch for an item that comes up regularly at auction. It is simple to ask for a price range and bid accordingly. If I send them a photo to get it approved, I have made the deal before investing my money. Auctions are a great source for showcases, shelving, and various store displays. At McManus Auctions, I recently scored five vintage enamel-topped kitchen tables, which I favor for outdoor display because they hold up to rain and our heat better than wood tables. My storage is organized with shelving I bought for a fraction of the cost of new by buying it at auction. Stainless steel rolling racks are great for flexibility and moving seasonal product out to load to take to the store. Deeper steel industrial shelving against the walls multiplies the square footage for storage and staging items as they are readied to present to customers. Smaller, bookcase-style shelving is
great for lining one or both sides of a hallway with prepped and easy to grab backstock or things to work on pricing as we have time. I make good use of several acquired at Clark County Public Auction when they were auctioned full of a collection of Russ Berrie & Co. sand-filled figures from the 60’s and 70’s. Auctions are a great source for things you need at home as well. Besides outfitting and upgrading my own home, I have saved my kids a lot money in setting up their first apartments. You can save a lot of money on appliances. I ask the staff to point our which ones were picked up at estate clean-outs, where they were still being used and most likely functioning fine. These days, I am watching for a nice set of bunkbeds for my grandsons. I’m always watching for quality floral supplies that I use in the seasonal decorations I enjoy making. Besides stems and containers. I also go through a lot of styrofoam and hot glue, all of which has gotten too expensive to buy at retail. I could order wholesale in quantity, but I enjoy the variety of the lots of product samples that go through the auctions from the World Market Center. I know it is much less effecient, but it’s the designing I love and the onesies I get keep each piece I make one-of-a-kind! Check out the auctions and see what you find!

HOW DO YOU SPELL LOVE?
By Lydia E. Harris
Love makes the world go ’round. So, as the year begins, here are some “heart-Tea” ideas to share love with family and friends of all ages. Heart-Tea Menu for Adults Last February, I was pleased to serve lunch to my sister Ruth. Since it was near Valentine’s Day, a “heart-Tea” meal was in order. I prepared four heart-y soups to sample: my mother’s meatballand-dumpling soup (my childhood favorite), white bean and ham, French onion, and asparagus with lemon. Ruth loves asparagus, so that soup with its refreshing, lemony taste and chunks of roasted asparagus was her favorite. It looked appealing served in a heartshaped glass bowl and topped with a heart-shaped piece of wheat toast and a roasted asparagus spear. I garnished another soup with a slice of tomato cut into a heart with a cookie cutter and added a chive arrow across the top. Our menu also included greenpea salad with small, heart-shaped pieces of cheddar cheese. We finished our meal by nibbling heartshaped chocolate chip cookies and sipping Bigelow’s Pomegranate Pizzazz herbal tea, a rose-colored, fruity blend. Lovely Setting Pink and red make a cheerful setting for teatime. I used a pink gingham cloth, pink heart-shaped teacups, and red and white tulips for the centerpiece. Heart-shaped cookie cutters made inexpensive napkin rings, and heart-shaped red, pink, and white doilies added a lovely accent. Since Ruth enjoys the candy bar with her name, a package of Baby Ruths waited at her place setting.
Heart-Tea Ideas for Young Sweethearts Last year our three grandkids (ages 4 to 11) came for a sleepover on Valentine’s weekend. I set out colored construction paper, doilies, stickers, markers, scissors, tape, and glue. My four-year-old granddaughter, Anna, took her Valentine making seriously. She kept whispering to Grandpa and her older siblings to get the information she needed. I wondered what she was up to. Then we made our own Valentine holders and hung them from our chairs by the table. The theme continued during mealtimes with heart-shaped pizza for dinner. The next morning we feasted on waffles cut into hearts and topped with whipped cream and heart-shaped strawberries. After breakfast, we read our Valentine cards. When I opened mine from Anna, I found crooked strips of colored construction paper with letters printed on them. I strung the pieces together and saw they included the entire alphabet. Anna couldn’t write words and messages, so she simply wrote all the letters of the alphabet so I could create my own words. I kept those jagged scraps of paper, because to me they spelled L-O-V-E. Any time is a good time to show love to others. I’m ready to express affection to family and friends with a hearty meal, a lovely setting, or tea and treats. Won’t you join me?

Annual Antiques Show & Sale 9
January/February/March 2016
NEW VENUE FOR THE LVABCC (‘BOTTLE CLUB’) SHOW
by Glena Dunn
ATTENTION PLEASE! Those looking forward to attending the annual Antiques & Collectibles Show & Sale put on by the Las Vegas Antique Bottle & Collectibles Club, please take notice... the show has been moved to the Henderson Convention Center on South Water Street this year. The less costly venue was selected in order to lower the admission charges as well as the price to participate in the event as a dealer. ‘Early Birds’ will enjoy a third off last year’s entry cost, and regular admission has been rolled back many years, to only $5. The event’s mid-February timing remains the same. No need to shop ahead for Valentine’s Day. Just grab your sweetheart and enjoy the show together! While you are there, you can choose something special together. Or you can pay attention to what catches their eye and sneak back to make a purchase to surprise them with on Sunday, the 14th. A nice thing about this ‘bottle club’ show, is that it is not limited to bottles, by far. I would venture that at least 75% of what is offered at the event is not even bottle related. What might you find? Just about anything old and interesting, and usually a story to go with it. Items tend to be smaller since the dealers are renting tables, not booths. Which works very well for tourists who must consideration getting their purchases home. Personally, I have always enjoyed the great selection of postcards, as well as many other types of ephemera. I also appreciate the dealers specializing in old western items, including Native American jewelry. Many of the dealers do have specialties and have acquired a wealth of knowledge in their field. It is always a pleasure and a priviledge to speak with them if they aren’t too busy. One particular area I have learned much about by attending the show is early Las Vegas gaming history. There are still a few dealer spaces remaining as we prepare to go to press, 8 weeks out from the show. For up-to-date information on the availability, please call this year’s show chairman, Nick Valenti at 702415-1568 or email at nv1948@cox.net. Recipe from Teresa ODell, manager at Antique Mall of America and past president of the Las Vegas Antique Bottle & Collectibles Club

ANTIQUES AT THE MARKET CLOSING
The closure of Antiques At The Market which is set for February 21st of this year, will mark the end of an era for those of us who have long been involved in the local antiques community. As the longest-running antique mall in southern Nevada, it has set a good pace for others coming on board for well over 15 years. I was actually one of the initial dealers when it opened... building up a good inventory in three booths before opening my own shop in 2001. I also want to give owners Robert and Liz Werner credit for our Quick Guide to Las Vegas Antiques Stores & Auctions that is in every issue. They had recognized the need for it and made me aware when I first took on the publishing of this paper. We would not have nearly as many shops to enjoy in our area without the guide making it easy to find them. Using it has greatly served to build good reputations among them as shop owners and staff use it to direct customers to find shops that have what they are looking for. Patrons may continue to shop until the date of closure. Some of the dealers will be liquidating, others will be moving on to other venues including the new one that long time dealers at the mall, Greg and Ruth Maestas, will be opening shortly after Antiques at the Market closes. But even dealers who are moving may be motivated to offer a better deal rather than pack and move some items.
New Antique Mall Opening this Spring! Great Central Location!
The Werners plan to incorporate the large building into their highly successful Furniture Market, which is located on the property’s frontage on Sunset Road. If you are shopping for new furniture, it is really worth checking out. The showroom is well displayed with great options and I am always fascinated with the versatility as well as upbeat style of the pieces they select to showcase. Besides what is on the floor, they and their staff are always willing to show you other options in their library of catalogs and help you to find exactly what you are looking for and at a price no other store can beat. Look for the announcement of the new mall opening in our Spring issue. At this time, I know more than I am authorized to print, but as plans are finalized, Greg and Ruth will be able to provide you with details when you call them. See their contact information in their ad on this page.

WHAT’S THAT JAMMIN ON MAIN? You wouldn’t expect to find contemporary tie-dyes in a vintage mall, but in the Jammin On family’s world, it all fits. The vintage mall, Main Street Peddlers (See map on page 3), is managed by Sarah Collins. When space came available, she approached her sister, Mauri Collins (aka Granny Jammin), about bringing in her sons’ tie-dye clothing in keeping with the 50th anniversary of the coming together of the Grateful Dead. Thus Jammin on Main was born! The ‘boys’ behind the JamminOn brand, Mauri’s sons BenJammin and Jeremy Strebel, and PaulSimon Waghorn, grew up in Las Vegas and learned to tie-dye here. They first encountered the Grateful Dead at one of their summer concerts at the Sam Boyd Stadium in the late 1980s and discovered an enthusiastic market for their brilliant and innovative tie dyes. The Jammin Boys followed the Grateful Dead tours until Jerry Garcia’s untimely death in 1995. By then, two of their designs had been featured in the Grateful Dead Almanac, under the benjammindyes.com brand. As the surviving members of the Dead began to form their own bands, the Jammin boys created backdrops for their performances. Four years ago, they established the Tie-Dye Studio on Haight Street in Novato, CA and Jammin On Haight was born.

by Mauri Collins
Tie dye is an ancient art originating in India, China and Japan, and was not invented by American hippies in the 1960s, although they certainly made it popular. Back then, RIT dye was floundering. An enterprising RIT salesman in New York tie-dyed some yardage and shopped it around the garment district hoping to launch a fashion trend. Clothing designer, Halston, took it up and dressed many of his clients, including Ali McGraw and Cher, in tie-dye. Janis Joplin, Joe Cocker and Mama Cass wore tie-dye shirts to Woodstock promoting the emerging art form. RIT packaged their dyes to make application easier and tie-dye moved firmly into middle America. The JamminOn tie-dye process produces richly colored, one-of-a-kind wearable artworks in designs far beyond spirals. Made-in-America, 100% cotton garments are prepped, then hand folded and tied with cotton string. The dyed garments are cured 24 hours, washed three times, before they go to the stores. Go to http://jamminon.vegas/how-is-tie-dye-made/ for more details and pictures of the process.
A range of rainbow colored garments is stocked at Jammin on Main: baby onesies, socks, thigh-highs, boxer briefs and booty shorts, yoga pants and yoga shorts, jeans, t-shirts in all sizes, infinity scarves, and dresses. Wedding parties can be decked out in tie-dyes, from socks, JamminOn, Inc. was an invited vendor at the Grateful Dead’s Fare- ties, and cummerbunds to bride and bridesmaids dresses and sashThee-Well concerts in Chicago in 2015. Their tapestries hung in the es. A ‘Been-on-Tour’ product line of zippered pouches, purses, and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame during the Grateful Dead Weekend in microwave hot-mitts is made from repurposed concert backdrops. 2012 and dressed the Jerry Garcia amphitheater for the “Jerry Day’ There is even a selection of dog collars and leashes custom-made by celebrations in McLaren Park, San Francisco.

START SMALL Is accomplishing your first quilt one of your resolutions for the new year? If so, you might want to consider tackling a small project first. These are generally more manageable and less intimidating for beginners, not to mention delivering a quicker end reward. Fun possibilities are a tote or handbag, small wall hanging or table runner. Once you have learned the basics, you can still move up gradually by mastering techniques on a baby quilt or lap quilt before tackling that king size quilt of your dreams. Both of our advertising shops, Quiltique and The Christmas Goose, offer classes and projects at every level. Stop by or just go online and look for their calendars to find one that inspires you to get started. Be sure to sign up for their newsletters while you are at it.

January/February/March 2016
TIME FOR QUILTING “How long did it take you to make that quilt?” Probably every quilter is asked this question from time to time. And we quilters will ask this question of each other too. Some of my own responses to this question have included, “A long time!” and “That’s a good question!” Another possible way to reply would be to provide the month/year the quilt was started, followed by the date it was finished. But when it comes to estimating the actual number of hours spent making a particular quilt, to borrow a line from the old song, “Does any quilter really know what time it took?” There are a number of quilting books with titles that hint at quilt construction time, such as Quilt-in-a-Day or Quilt-in-a-Weekend, but I think they may be underestimating the real time start-tofinish of the project. As with the TV cooking show boasting 30 minute meals, I wonder about how those meals translate into actual time spent in the kitchen. There are certainly some activities that are just naturally associated with length of time; how many hours I need to drive somewhere, or how many minutes I need to wait till lunchtime, or how many seconds I feel like exercising today. But, unless I’ve got a deadline to meet, I generally don’t find myself associating length of time with my quilting. For me, making a quilt is mostly about creativity and relaxation, being in the moment, and enjoying each step along the way. There are many steps involved in the process of creating a quilt! Sometimes there are unplanned steps in unexpected directions and sometimes a few backward steps are required too. When I’m engaged in favorite steps of the process, blocks of time will go by and I can hardly believe what time the clock says when I finally glance at it. I would try hurrying through the steps that I don’t enjoy quite so much, however I have found that I can’t combine quilting and hurrying. Quilting takes time. That’s one of the many rewarding aspects of the craft. The very last stitch of a quilt is all the more satisfying because of all the time invested it.
By Sally Lomanno
Now, finding that time is a whole nother spool of thread. I seem to manage to set aside quilting time in various ways. On some days I can even put quilting at the top of my priority list and then I squeeze any other activities in around my stitching time. It often surprises me how many other tasks I can end up getting done anyway when I focus most of my attention on doing something I really enjoy. Putting my quilting first like that reminds me of a conversation I once had with another stitcher during a train trip. She was knitting and I told her how I wished I had brought along my lap quilt project, but that it wouldn’t fit in my bags once I was done packing. She quickly remarked, “Oh, my knitting always goes in first, then I pack everything else in around it!” I don’t know how much time she and I spent chatting on that trip, or how much time I’ve spent making any one of my quilts. All I know is that, in both cases, it was time well spent. Sally Lomanno resides in Cape May, New Jersey and is an avid author and quilter.

2016 AND HOW QUICKLY TIME FLIES 2015 is barely behind us and it is time to begin again with new resolve to do more and waste less! I am not just referring to recycling of our waste, but better uses of our time, energy, and emotions. We all want to leave our mark on this world and on the lives of those we love. We hope to make our legacy one that helps those who will follow. If you think your life is not that important, you just need to watch the Jimmy Stewart Christmas Classic, “It’s a Wonderful Life.” What that character learned was something many of us would love to benefit from. I am a great believer of making lists (mine are on paper, but yours may be on your IPhone). Listing plans and resolutions have always been something that helped me. When I am preparing for my calendar year, packing my suitcase, or making an important decision, I start focusing on positives and negatives and put those into the decision process. Sometimes I merely outline what I plan to do and sometimes I am looking for answers, so my notes multiply and have to be reworked, but this also allows me to think about choices that I might not have included at the outset. Between the desire to better our families’ lives and focusing on goals to accomplish that, we need to use the lessons of the past to increase our awareness of the possibilities. Recently I spoke with a friend about events that had influenced our lives. Our discussion made us realize how quickly the past can blend the years. That caused us to reflect on the actual number of years that had passed since several milestones had occurred. I had recently read about JFK, the invasion of the Beatles, and the attack on September 11th. It amazed me to read how many years now separate us from those events.

While we can learn from the past, we need not become mired in its’ details. We need to keep moving forward to new accomplishments. Even failures that help us to learn something have a purpose. A new year within the framework of each of our lives can expand our knowledge and abilities, if we are open to the new paths, we can look back later and identify ways that we grew at those times. Each new year can allow reflection and redirection if we choose to pause and plan with the new information we now embrace. Quickly our present will become our past. Make your life and your wishes part of your legacy. Expand your life to include others and many paths, so that you will best use your resources. Do all you can to make your life one fully lived. Help your friends and family to do the same and you will all benefit. Happy New Year and may it be the best one yet. Ed.

Fry bacon until crispy. Drain and cool on a paper towel. Crumble into small bits into a large bowl. Pour off all but 2 tbsp of bacon grease from the frying pan then cook the garlic and onion until translucent. Add to the bacon bits along with remaining ingredients (except butter/margarine) and blend well. Wash and dry your frying pan, then melt 1 tbsp of butter or margarine in it over medium heat. Scoop about ¼ of a cup of the potato mixture and form into a ball. Place it in the hot pan, flattening to about ½ - ¾” thick. Fry for about 3 minutes on each side, until they are lightly golden brown. For best results, serve immediately, while hot and crispy. Top with sour cream or ketchup. Try adding variations, including using up other leftovers such as ham, taco meat, mushrooms, or garden vegetables.

Three days of celebration, including a carnival, parade, festival, car show and live entertainment. Often my grandkids and I bake and frost heartshaped sugar cookies together. Sometimes we also make chocolate chip cookies into hearts. They’re easy to make: Roll the dough into a ball, flatten it, and then cut out the dough with a heart-shaped cutter. If the cookies lose their shape while baking, recut them with the heart-shaped cutter as soon as they come out of the oven. For gifts and mailing, we place the cookies into heart-shaped boxes or cookie tins. Lydia E. Harris holds a master’s degree in Home Economics.

GROWING YOUR SMALL BUSINESS
What brings new business? Fair Prices, what keeps that new customer coming back for more? Good quality service. A smaller number of loyal followers, customers who come to you on a regular basis is better for the success of your business than having 1,000 customers visit you once a year.
Use social media, I take photos of REAL PEOPLE, clients who come see me. I often post them on facebook and enjoy watching them collect compliments. A sincere compliment is very uplifting and in my line of work (hair and nails) clients like to feel happy about the way they look. The more compliments they get, the better they feel and isn’t that what they are really paying for? They come in feeling a little tired, worn or even out of shape. When you add more beauty to their already beautiful self their attitude changes and they feel happy, contentment, and they most often can’t wipe the smile of their face!
SHOP LOCAL. EAT LOCAL. SPEND LOCAL. ENJOY LOCAL. It Takes YOU to Start the Trend! Support the local businesses who support the area where you live, work & play.

Care about your customer, REALLY CARE. I often pray for my clients by name. I believe in prayer and feel God can bless their life, their health and their family. Some clients don’t know I pray for them but they can feel my love as I serve them. Happy clients often leave good reviews online or tell their friends about you. Do your best and leave to God the rest. If a client is unhappy for any reason, their hair is not light enough, the length of their bangs are longer than they were expecting, do whatever you can to address the problem and offer to fix it within 24 hours of their service even if it means you work late of come in early the next day. Be authentic - show them you are human, let them see who you really are. Share your life with them. Listen to what they say when they are with you. Show your appreciation as often as you can. Some clients fall asleep while I cut or style their hair… I am thankful they feel relaxed enough to doze off. In this fast paced world everyone needs a place where they can relax. Be friendly and smile when you meet someone new, after all a stranger is just a friend that you have never met.

OH TO BE YOUNG ‘AT HEART’...
When I was growing up, Valentine’s Day was more for kids. I know I loved the store-bought cards, the big ones and the tiny ones, the ones that folded over with little half-round tabs that turned the card into its own envelope. I thought the cheesy jokes were so clever and I adored the fluffy sweet-faced animals that some featured. My sisters and I would come home from school with our packet of class Valentines and sort and compare them for hours. In our family, we made our Valentines. I was a little uncomfortable with this AT FIRST. But being the crafty sort of little girl that I was, and a budding poet, I totally got on board within minutes. Mom would get us started with a packet of construction paper and paper lace doilies. She also saved seed catalogs and pretty greeting cards for us to cut up for embellishments. Sometimes there were bits of sparkly things and yarn to work with too. And of course, glue. I remember clearly the first time Mom showed me how to fold a piece of paper in half and cut out a heart. It was fascinating, and like a secret method that seemed made me feel very grown-up to know. Next was mastering scalloping the edges. (We didn’t have fancy scissors like they do today) That was even trickier because I had to judge where my last scallop would end and fudge the spacing a bit. Another accomplishment that gave me great satisfaction.
by Glena Dunn
I liked Valentine’s Day better as a child. Now it is vital that your sweetheart ‘get it right’ so there is ‘enough’ to show your friends how loved you are. I no longer have that issue in my life but my daughter and her husband feel the same way and choose to ignore the high-pressure holiday. They have tested themselves to discover their individual ‘love languages’ and are happy expressing and receiving tokens of each other’s love accordingly, and all year long. I took the test too (it came up on Facebook), and was surprised to see that my language is more similar to his than hers. What makes you feel loved? Is it gifts or doing something together? Does someone helping you with something you find difficult make you feel cared for? That is your love language... the way you give and receive love. It is a good thing to realize so that we can speak the language that is understood by those we love.
The first year, all of my poems started with “Roses are red...” If I didn’t have a particular person in mind as I worked on a valentine, I certainly did by the time I was writing my poem on the back. I was sentimental with my girlfriends but the boys got silly verses. I labored most carefully over my teacher’s card. Almost every year, it would be admired in front of the class, perhaps just in case anyone thought less of the ‘home made’ one they had received. Of course I had to carry on the tradition I cherished with my own children. We were homeschoolers, but one year we made a party of it, with all the little girls in our neighborhood on Kirkland AFB. Somewhere I might still have a picture of them proudly holding up their creations.

TWO NEW SHOPS ON WYOMING STREET
In our last issue we announced that Faye and Jim Simak, Boulder City’s newest shop owners, were taking a giant leap up the street. The opportunities they recognized at the eight times larger building at 1212 Wyoming were motivating to ‘move on it’, even in the midst of holiday season.
The additonal space allowed ‘Bella’ to expand into Bella Marketplace, with the additon of a variety of dealers. The adjacent parking lot was a huge bonus too, with parking limited on Wyoming Street.Fortunately, the recent remodel suited their needs making the transition easy and fast. Dealer spaces filled quickly with unique offerings such as you see on this issue’s cover as well as specialties such as vintage magazines, record albums, handmade fashions, primitives, western, retro, artistically upcyled furniture, florals and gifts, lampworked glass, and handmade jewelry, with the wow-factor of designer/dealer Jonathon Bolus’ space greeting customers as they enter. Faye and her sister Kaye Barrieault (now also a partner) operate duel registers in the center of the circular layout that includes ADA compliant restrooms, ramps and generous aisle space for manuvering wheelchairs and strollers.
The storefront Bella vacated, next to Boulder City’s iconic Goatfeathers, did not linger empty. The prime location was snapped up by Merry Leigh Horden, who describes her vision for her new shop Piper Bootsey as “a creative’s source for pursuing the inspiration found on social media sites such as Pinterest and Facebook pages.” I stopped by in early December as the interior was being painted and re-floored. Mary Leigh described plans to display ideas and inspiration on the walls while offering for sale a variety of the vintage elements that creative DIY (do it yourself) people are currently searching for. From that description and the look of her ad to the left on this page, I expect this to be another amazing store adding to the fun shopping that Boulder City has come to offer. Check out the ads for the Wyoming Street shops on these two pages and locate them on our back page map. If you plan your fun shopping day in Boulder City on a Friday, Saturday or Sunday, you will be able to visit The White Porch on Colorado Street as well. Other shops in Old Town include Boulder City Soap & Candle Co., Antique Depot, and Back in Thyme. Use our Dining Guide on page 23 and the map to enjoy great food options.

Pass it On...
We hope that you enjoy reading this edition of The Country Register of Southern Nevada. Before you toss it, may we suggest that you consider doing one of the following: Keep your copy in your car, so that you have it as a handy reference for the addresses and phone numbers of the shops that have caught your eye. Why gift shop at the mall for the mundane when you know where the unique can be found? If you have not cut up your copy for recipes and other ideas, pass it on to your friend or neighbor, or leave it at your doctors/dentist office or other waiting areas. Think ‘green’, especially if you have enjoyed The Country Register, why throw it away? Let someone else enjoy it too! Remember, there will be a new one coming out soon!

A little Boulder City history - Designed and built by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation and the Six Companies to support the construction of Hoover Dam between 1931 and 1935, during the Great Depression. The Old Town District’s arched walkways exhibit the same Art Deco style as the dam’s graceful design. Built in a triangle, with the Bureau at the top, everything is in walking distance. To this day, this part of town has a traditional feel, with parks and gazebo, city hall, post office, the historic theater and hotel...A small town atmosphere with friendly shopkeepers and locals in the diners, discussing the latest weather and town politics.
