New Additions & Exciting News



We are excited to announce the release of 
A Primitive Place & Country Journal magazine 
to major bookstore chains and newsstands across the US and Canada starting with the spring 2013 issue. 
In the US, you will find us in Barnes & Noble, 
Books-A-Million and Hastings to list a few. 
Two of the largest and most well-known bookstores in 
Canada, Chapters and Indigo, 
will also carry A Primitive Place. 
You will also find us on major newsstands in New York City, 
Philadelphia and Cleveland metropolitan areas, 
to just name a few. 
Don't worry, we will still be offering wholesale to shops,
 as well as subscriptions.


With the release of the spring 2013 issue, 
we welcomed Betsy Heck to our staff
as Contributing Writer! 
Armed with a Bachelor of Journalism degree 
from the University of Missouri,
Betsy set out into the world to one day 
become the first female editor of Sports Illustrated.
Living in St. Louis, however, magazine opportunities 
were few and far between and the world wide web 
had not yet become the you-can-work-from-anywhere 
force it is today. 
So Betsy embarked on what would become a 
25+ years career in marketing/advertising. 
Today she’s thrilled to marry her first love, 
writing, with her passion for antiques 
(first as a buyer, then as a dealer) 
as she joins the team at A Primitive Place.


With the release of the summer 2013 issue, 
we will bring on board Alex Pifer of The Seraph
to the A Primitive Place & Country Journal magazine staff.
Alex brings an extensive background in decorating 
and will debut her decorating column
in our summer 2013 issue.

At this time, we would like to extend a big thank you 
to our fans, friends, and family. 
We appreciate your support and look forward 
to what 2013 has in store for us.

A Sneak Peek, A Cozy Fire and the Winter/Holiday Issue

APP Photographer, Dan Weaver and Jeffrey White 
flew safely into Boston, MA Thursday afternoon. 
Dan was assigned to photograph three homes 
in beautiful New England. 
Not only does he get to enjoy New England in all its fall glory, 
but he gets to photograph three amazing homes.
Dan always says that it doesn't seem like work at all,
when you are doing what you love!
The following is one of my favorite quotes by Marc Anthony.
 "If you do what you love, you'll never work a day in your life."


Dan and Jeffrey, along with Audrey Hanna 
were on assignment yesterday in Massachusetts. 
The three traveled to Wilbraham where Dan photographed 
a beautiful primitive/colonial inspired home.
They will continue their journey to Alton, New Hampshire today
and then back to Massachusetts for another shoot on Sunday.
Here is a small sneak peek from yesterday's photoshoot.


After the photoshoot, Dan paid a surprise visit to 
Judy Coffey of Country Plus in Hopkinton, MA!
She was so excited!
Here is a picture of Miss Judy holding the winter/holiday 2011
issue which she was featured in.
If you haven't seen Judy's website, check it out 
when you have a chance. http://countryplusonline.com


As for me, I spent last evening by the fire 
enjoying the very first copy out of the box 
of the winter/holiday 2012 issue. 
Have you ordered your subscription yet?

Prim Blessings,
