October Bonus

We added several web extras to add to your enjoyment of our October issue, including three additional Pennsylvania German recipes (Click here to see them) and a listing of historic cider mills that you can visit—at least after they start harvesting apples (try late September or early October). Click here to see the listing.

Kastberg House Bonus Photos

We took more photos of the home of Jon and Janet Kastberg than would fit into the February issue of Early American Life, so as special web bonus we're making available additional images, including two view of the Kastberg's kitchen. While the kitchen is more contemporary than we usually publish, it shows some great design ideas. Click here to see them. (The pdf totals about one megabyte, so it may take a few seconds to download.)

Karp Collection Close-Ups

Had we the space in our modest Christmas 2010 issue, we'd have given you a better look at how Beth Karp flawlessly combines her doll and holiday collections into a clever and often beautiful whole. We did, however, have lots and lots of leftover photographs, so we've posted a dozen previously unpublished shots of Beth's dolls in their holiday habitats for your amusement and inspiration. Just click here to get a better view.

Colorful Wallpaper for Cornucopias

Traditionally paper cornucopias (like those in our December 2010 issue) would be made from whatever scrap paper was most colorful and decorative, and wallpaper remnants were the perfect choice. To help you make your own "remnants," we've posted some samples of antique wallpaper designs (courtesy of Aldephia Paper Hangings LLC) in downloadable form. We've provided them as large jpg images that you can slice and dice with any image editor. You will find the samples by clicking here.
