More About This Book

Overview

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.

Editorial Reviews

Library Journal

Waggoner (Classic Household Hints: Over 500 Old and New Tips for a Happier Home) has compiled more of a guide to simplifying household chores than a decorating book. Advice is given on controlling clutter, cleaning house, doing laundry, cooking and baking, gardening, and using "green" ideas in the home.


—Gayle A. Williamson

    I love this book!

    What an amazing collection of helpful hints and wisdom. I bought this book after briefly reviewing it on the web pages and have found it to be one of the best purchases I have made all year! Everytime I pick it up, I learn something new. In addition to being a great resource, it has found its way to my coffee table as light reading for guests. I never fail to get compliments on how wonderful it is and that my guests have learned something they never knew. The illustration and pictures are beautiful, with some you feel as if you are right in the room. The book is a great value not only for its timeless tips but also for its ability to start a conversation and sharing among friends.

    Good Common Sense & Fun

    I bought this book because it is from County Living Magazine & I am a long time subscriber & fan the the magazine. It is an easy to use, fun & informative read. Plus brings back memories for things my mom & grandmothers did & said. I also bought one as a gift for my sister.
