A set of 12 for $21.95. That works out to be under $2.00 each. I can't wait to get them. In researching them more, there are about 12 more that I don't have. I am going to try to get the complete set. They have such great pictures in them. The Country Decorating volume that I have even gives old painting techniques. I don't normally buy too many books, but these are definitely worth adding to my collection!Sunday, March 15, 2009
Several years ago I checked out these books by Time Life from our local library. They are a series called American Country. I absolutely loved them and have checked them out several more times. I picked up the volume titled "Country Decorating" at an antique shop last fall and got my interested going again. My curiousity got the best of me the other day while searching e-bay and look what I found!

ReplyDeletei have a couple of those books. i found them at the thrift stores.
ReplyDeletemary emmerling's, new country collection is another good one for resource and ideas. its an older book but i found it on amazon for a couple dollars. also look for jessie walker's country decorating....... i got it for like 4.00. it is wonderful!!
my faves at the "spirit of chrismas" books. lots of great ideas on making batting santas, wax covered ornies, gameboards and more. :)
I wish I'd gotten them all that cheap. I purchased them "way back when" from Time/Life and spent a small fortune. I ought to take a look at them again. PAM
ReplyDeleteGreat find.
ReplyDeleteI love your collection of sheep too!
I have been collecting these books too, and have ended up with some duplicates that I'd like to sell. If you need Country Garden or Country Crafts let me know and we can work out a deal!
