Magazine's focus
is Rappahannock
By SHARON KILPATRICK
Rappahannock News Staff Writer
The March/April issue of Country Accents magazine includes three photo essays set in Rappahannock County by Franklin and Esther Schmidt of Woodville.
The first is Ellis and Joanne Bingham’s combination kitchen and family room near Amissville. This house was included in the 1989 house tour. The house and kitchen area feature pieces collected by the Binghams during Col. Bingham’s Army career.
Next is an article with pictures about last spring’s progressive dinner sponsored by the Bed and Breakfast Guild of Rappahannock County. It includes pictures of Sycamore Hill near Washington, Blue Knoll in Castleton, Caledonia Farm outside Flint Hill, the School House in Flint Hill and Heritage House in Washington.
Also in the article are recipes for hors d’oeuvres from Blue Knoll, salad dressing from Caledonia Farm, squash soup from Foster-Harris House and a dessert from Heritage House. The Conyers House near Slate Mills, Thistle Hill near Boston and Bunree near Amissville also participated in the progressive dinner and are mentioned in the text of the article.
The third photo essay is on Richard and Joy Cartwright-Brown’s Blue Knoll Farm Bed and Breakfast. A picture of their French pine table set for a breakfast of fruit and homemade breads also appears on the magazine cover.
Mrs. Schmidt said that it something of a coincidence that these three articles related to Rappahannock County appeared in the same issue of the magazine. She said they submit ideas for articles to the magazine’s editor, Marilyn Hansen. Once the ideas are approved, the Schmidts take the photographs and write the text. Then the editor decides when they appear, she said.
Mr. Schmidt takes most of the photographs, while Mrs. Schmidt describes her role as that of a “stylist.”
The magazine sells for $2.50 and would normally be available at newstands in the area, but it is sold out because the subjects of these articles have bought up so many copies.
