"Country Living" Seasons at Seven Gates Farm by "Country Living"
Over the years, the pages of Country Living magazine have offered tantalizing glimpses of Seven Gates, the rural 19th-century Maryland farmstead that serves as home, workplace, and studio to James Cramer and Dean Johnson. Now, the editors are pleased to invite you to enjoy an extended visit with these two talented artists and craftsmen, and to share their inspiring ideas for old-fashioned gardens, natural handcrafts, and homespun holiday celebrations in the country tradition. Season by season, this charming volume explores how the house, its gardens, and James and Dean's projects change and evolve throughout the course of a single year. While lush watercolors and more than 300 color photographs offer a feast for the eyes, special text sections interspersed throughout each chapter also present clear and concise information on collecting and displaying country classics, including homespun textiles, antique flowerpots, American flags, rag dolls, and miniature log cabins. Precise step-by-step directions also teach you how to make a miniature garden, grow and trim a topiary, build a rustic scarecrow, wrap autumn gift preserves, and stitch Christmas angel-shoe decorations. And, you will find original ideas for seasonal holiday celebrations: Easter, the Fourth of July, Thanksgiving, and, of course, Christmas. |
