During your summer travels, stop by a few advertising shops that you’ve never visited before. You never know when you might get a minute to find a new shop to visit and this publication can lead the way. You can stay out of the heat by shopping and supporting the economy of small local businesses. Or another way to beat the heat is to make one of the projects featured in this issue or work on a quilting or needlework project you can find at our advertisers. Please be sure to visit our Facebook page and “Like Us”. From our website, you can find links to our advertisers’ web sites, view the current shows and events listing. Have l fun Wexplorl ing the shows and shops holding special events that are summarized in our Shows & Events Listing – mark your calendar now for all these great events! Please make a point to let the shop owners know that you saw their ad in our publication – T e u f lp a d it’s important. Advertisers want to know that their ad in our paper is worthwhile and they like i h dg d t hi im it when you mention you saw their ad. Without the advertisers, our publication wouldn’t exist y H e a “ so they need to know the paper is working for them. Also, feel free to pick up extra copies rf ln l ki d nt i rs of the paper for your friends….we’d love for you to share it with them. m h ra h il T wh d If you know a shop that should be advertising in the paper, please let us know (via email, f l g ty i o k i m ha i phone, or mail). We are always looking for new shops to add to our list of great advertisers. n l g s i w s igin y Christmas is coming (yes, really)! It’s less than ½ a year away. Why not start your shopping d d g i an h u p now and stash away a few gifts so you are ahead of the game come December?! Many shops a pl flo r i t r f have Christmas in July sales, summer sales, etc., etc. Take advantage of those events to make ll T i e ju t h h d o early progress on your holiday shopping. Just make a list of what you purchased and where dh e e ki d of dr i h les t you stashed it for safe keeping q alify pl . BONUS any e Grace just finished 7th grade and Rachel graduated from high school! Grace will stay busy ho h e on i is d this summer with swim teams (yes, 2), swim camp, and spending time with friends doing lazy fi pl summer activities. Rachel is enjoying her summer before college at Clemson starts in the Fall. Old i , ttl s t She’s doing some babysitting, some traveling, shadowing a doctor and probably some lazy b k nd co m . L k f summer activities too. They (and we) do stay busy!! o s p Ih d ld Our readers often comment about having “watched” our girls grow up, since we include ll b ggy, i icy b s et photos of them in each issue. We started that when Rachel was born and we had just started w th r l r l Thi p i g I d publishing the Virginia Edition (she is now 18 and we now publish 5 statewide editions). a il bo d t , To me, it’s more than just their photos in the paper that is important. It is reflective of our el p f i g o , d publications – growing paper publications in an age where “paper” is often taken over by f t, ld ty t ol It technology. However this is also reflective of our advertising shops and businesses that are hi i ure e r t p t d g , owned too by individuals and not large companies. You usually meet the owners when you d a g l k a visit our advertising shops and even their families often! nt r i uple h We wish you a wonderful relaxing safe SHOPPING summer the froad this –Ma l Wilson is theHit o ner The and Rus use Wheel ll b b l f n af f publication as your road map.

Decorating, Entertaining and Living in the Early American Style – Summer’s Solitude
In the depth of summer comes a quiet and drawn-out lull that gives us opportunities for mindful outdoor activities that provide peace and tranquility. With our gardens at a stage where they are now relatively self-sufficient, we can take a step back and enjoy the result of our hard work. The heavier chores of late spring such as cultivating the raised beds and amending the soil have transformed into smaller tasks such as light weeding or going out to the vegetable patch at the end of a hot summer day when the air is a bit cooler to fill our antique gathering basket with fresh zucchini or heirloom tomatoes. As we work happily to bring in the beginnings of our personal harvest we often feel a deep sense of reward and begin to get excited for all that we can do with the bountiful blessings before us. Putting By Canning or “putting by,” is one way to preserve our abundance for the seasons ahead. Gathering fresh produce from your garden such as zucchini, cucumbers and peppers for relishes and pickles or bright red juicy tomatoes to can in glass jars to be used for a homemade lasagna in the dead of winter makes for a full day of old-fashioned work. There is a simple joy found in slicing succulent cucumbers
and onions from your own garden. But nothing seems sweeter than seeing your filled canning jars in an array of gorgeous colors and textures ready to be stored in a pantry or buttery for future use. All of the growing, tending and nurturing is doubly rewarding when you taste these sublime slices of summer on a cold winter’s evening. It is a soulful reminder of the height of the year and of nature’s promise to return another summer to us. Campfire Nights Another simple blessing is a crackling fire on a midsummer’s night. There is something primitive and magical about a campfire and it is perfect for a summer evening. The leaping flames lure us with their beauty and we are naturally drawn together in a spirit of camaraderie. Gathering around a fire whether it be with family or with friends brings a certain kind of happiness that our current age of technology could never rival. In the heart of this summer season enjoy the slower pace of the nice, long days. Spend time experiencing summer’s simple blessings and share the lasting joy that it brings with those you hold dear. – Annice Bradley Rockwell is an educator and owner of Pomfret Antiques in Connecticut.
