4 Ways You May Be Damaging Your Antique Quilts Without Realizing It (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Practically speaking, quilts are simply coverlets, which is why they’ve graced beds of every ilk for centuries. (One of the oldest surviving quilts, the Tristan Quilt, was made in the 1300s and is housed in London’s Victoria and Albert Museum.) But quilt lovers know they’re so much more than that. For many, these hand-stitched hand-me-downs may be the closest they can come to being lovingly tucked in by a distant relative—a grandmother or great-aunt they have never met. “There is nothing that co

There’s something useful to know about Wyoming: There’s Mountain Time (MT), and then there’s mountain time. Wyoming locals such as Walker and Renée Mathews may frequently operate by the former, but there’s a whole contingency of residents—moose, fox, bears—who choose to observe only the latter (and don’t particularly care if you’re late to pickleball, either). “We were ready to walk out the front door to go play when we saw a large moose and her calf lounging in the grass next to the sidewalk,”
This New Jersey Farm Planned Their Dolly Parton-Themed Corn Maze Back in February—Now It’s Especially Meaningful (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Navigating a corn maze is a fall rite of passage, but at Happy Day Farm in Manalapan, New Jersey, visitors will find extra significance behind the stalks. That’s because this year’s theme honors none other than Dolly Parton, who passed away on Tuesday, August 25. “We decided on this theme back in February,” says Trinity Stockel, who says the farm, owned by her father Tim, works with an agritourism network known as The Maize to partner with various artists and organizations on thematic mazes.

Read excerpt
There’s a lot of talk right now about how to properly pay tribute to an American icon, but it’s probably best we take some direction from the Backwoods Barbie herself. “People celebrate me in their own ways, which I love,” Dolly once told me. Her sole request: “If you throw a party in my honor, there better be some gaud!” As the editor of Country Living, I’ve been lucky enough to interview Dolly several times over the years, and “gaud” was a word the singer-songwriter used a lot. It has stayed w

At Country Living, they’re frequently referred to as “ditch flowers”— the wild blooms you could find lining a country fencerow or growing along the interstate. Think Queen Anne’s Lace, Black-eyed Susans, chicory, or milkweed. These understated, plucked-from-the-pasture stems are so much a part of our brand DNA that we frequently ask our stylists—the people hired to get a house photo-ready for a magazine shoot—to prioritize these foraged flowers over the more formal arrangements you’d typically s
