+ the Grands!

I was updating an ad for the May/June edition for one of our Indiana shops today and checked her website to make sure it was working. Imagine my surprise to find that she also has a new blog! I really enjoyed her story about her recent trip to Amish country. Check it out and see if you agree. Click on the image to go straight to her albums with photos of her shop and handmade items or click here to visit her blog: http://www.picturetrail.com/sfx/album/view/20338424

I was searching for a bright, colorful image for the blog page for this beautiful Easter Sunday and I thought of these beautifully colored adirondack chairs for an article we are preparing for the upcoming edition. (I know — not your typical Easter photo, but they are colorful, right?  Easter egg colors! And I could see them lined up on a lawn on the shore just waiting for vistors to sit and enjoy the view!) The article is about Candleberry Creek in Milford, DE an advertiser who has been with us since The Country Register started! If you can’t wait for the article to get your chair or outdoor furniture, stop and see them at 10322 Coastal Hwy or give them a call at 302-684-8373.  The furntiure and swing sets are all vinyl from recycled plastics with a lifetime guarantee.
