Book Description

June 2, 2009

Is modern life becoming too complicated and messy? Top-selling author Susan Waggoner is here to simplify it all. She shows how anyone can enjoy a more relaxed lifestyle filled with traditional country values—and save time, money, work, and frustration in the process—with household hints our foremothers knew well.

This ingenious and fun-to-read illustrated handbook presents tried-and-true household hints and practical solutions to everyday problems. And the superb organization—covering such topics as “Clutter Control,” “Better Living Through Baking,” and “In the Garden”—makes it easy to find the information you need. Whether it’s a no-scrub trick to make bathroom faucets gleam or advice on growing a garden guaranteed to attract birds and butterflies, Country Living Simple Country Wisdom is the key to creating a home that’s cheerful, welcoming, and warm.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful book for newlyweds or grads . . . ., August 4, 2009
This review is from: Country Living Simple Country Wisdom: 501 Old-Fashioned Ideas to Simplify Your Life (Hardcover)
This little book is chock-full of new and interesting ideas! A 'green' section as well. I thought I knew most of this 'stuff' - but learned things I either never heard of or thought of! Nice pictures too. It would be perfect to include with a wedding gift or for somebody setting up their first home. Or for me - I'm going to buy a copy:)

5.0 out of 5 stars simple country wisdom, November 30, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Country Living Simple Country Wisdom: 501 Old-Fashioned Ideas to Simplify Your Life (Hardcover)
It's fun,interesting to read and does have some great ideas. Country Living Books, which hasn't disappointed me yet,are beautiful books. There was also an offer for either a free subscription or a small rebate. This book is smaller than most CL books so it is easy to slip in a tote bag and take w/ you.
