The Red House


What's in this issue?

The Loafery the Decorating article

For some of us, solitude can be a hard piece of paradise to broker.  Technology and machinery have freed us from the drudgery of former centuries, but they haven’t freed us from demands—in fact, now, more than ever, demands can follow us everywhere.  Six headings follow, describing how to make your own loafery.



A Real Feeling For Line the Hearth article

The art of pencil sketching and line drawing is a time-honored pursuit that is rewarding whether you are more concerned with capturing the moment and conceiving of a visual expression to pepper a personal journal or a letter with a bit of artistic flare or you want to produce renderings fit for a museum.  Headings include Getting Outfitted, Choosing Paper, Line Sampler, and a Value Life-Drawing.



Such A Jolly Lunch the Kitchen article

Even if it's too hot, too showery, or if you are just weary of wrangling with the wasps for your supper, these period-accurate recipes that range from expeditious to elegant—though always economical—are perfect anytime you fancy a jolly lunch.  Recipes include: Edwardian Egg Sandwiches, Mushrooms on Toast a la Normande, Pizza alla Campofranco, Yolande's Luncheon Cake, and Chloe's Cake.



I Must Go Out On Sundays the Music article

This installment of the Music Box presents an arrangement and lyrics for the traditional tune named Captain Jinks.



A Moment For Gardening the Garden article

For this installment of the Garden, we’ve compiled some suggestions that can be done when one only has one moment—or maybe a smidge more—to work in the garden, based on lessons learned from Chloe and Len.  We’ve found that organizing the work of the garden a la lessons from The Red House can be a delightful way to start managing the unmanageable.



More Books If You Like the Workshop article

This bookcase makeover brought an austere, second-hand piece of furniture out of several decades of abuse in a furnace room, where the piece sustained water damage, staining, and had been pinned in place as a workbench support, up into the sunshine of pride of place as an arts and crafts treasure.



A Most Inspiring Day the Writer's Garret article

The first day of Seymore’s visit to Drumlanrig Castle includes a gondola-style tour of the legendary collection of greatfolc art housed at the Castle.  Following the engineering marvels and breathtaking impressions of the artworks, Seymore is introduced to the studios, workshops, and lytfolc art collection of the Highland Academy of the Masters, which gave me a chance to actually step into the kind of creative environment I hope to bring home to Lanham and my family yet to be.
