Country Living
Growing up, my mom collected Country Living magazine. For decades, she bought and read it every month, as did I. There is only one or two issues missing in her collection, which she entrusted to me.
I love books and expect that you might too!
So, here is a copy of my Book List that encompasses Samplers / Stitching / Handwork / Material Culture / Social History.
Click on the book list link below to open a copy of the spreadsheet I use to track the books on my book shelf and my wish lists for future purchases.
Some of my favourite places to source and buy books include: AbeBooks, Amazon, Biblio.com, eBay and thriftbooks!
I hope you discover some great books and send me a note if there is one or many that I don't know of yet!
Happy reading!!
