My E-book, Watermelon & Fireflies, is a sun-drenched, farm fresh, sweet-as-corn-on-the-cob adventure to the good ol’ summertime!  Although there are recipes it’s way more than a cookbook! Each page is decorated in full color with vintage images, photos, charming quotes and of course 51 farm fresh ideas including family fun tips, recipes, decorating ideas, encouragement for homemakers and so much more!

Darlins’, ”Watermelon & Fireflies” is just drippin’ with sweet southern nostalgia like honey from a honeycomb!

Here is just a sampling of the 50 pages of pure, all-American nostalgia! If you don’t have it yet, I can’t wait for you to see all of the ideas I’ve gathered to bless your heart! Here are just a few of the titles…(there are 51 ideas!);

• breakfast in a bucket
• rise and shine!
• come and get it!
• sunshine fresh
• diner pie
• meet me at the fair!
• gathering joy!
• farm-girl treasure hunt
• dreamy strawberry butter
• jingle bells in july
• fresh farm style
• have a summer pie party
• golden moments
• yankee doodle macaroni salad
• sweet wonderful you!
• have a cow! (moo!)
• fresh as a daisy
• a splashing good time!
• going on a picnic!

Plus so many more! I’ve even included my recipe for Oh My Stars! Fresh Peach Pie…it’s my favorite pie EV-AH and everyones favorite! When you taste it you’ll squeal “OH MY STARS!”

I think you’ll find that Watermelon & Fireflies will remind you of  an old fashioned country church picnic. The background graphics resemble homey kitchen tablecloths  and the recipes are like the dishes women-folk of yesteryear  would proudly set on the long tables, pot-luck style, under the breezy shade of an old oak tree.  The activities and ideas are family-friendly, easy on the pocket-book, and are sure to create many heartwarming memories and traditions.

“I can’t imagine a better way to spend a Summer day than to relax in a cooling afternoon breeze with an iced cold glass of sweet tea, a jar of yummy  “Farm Wife Banana Pudding”  and Ruthann’s new e-book Watermelon and Fireflies.   Jam-packed with the best that Sugar Pie Farmhouse has to offer, it’s a joy to read and sparks the imagination quicker than fireflies at sunset.  It is charming, homey and conveys in the sweetest possible terms Ruthann’s love for home and family and it will inspire you to make the most of this summer with your family.  It’s at the top of my summer reading list.”

“What an incredibly delightful read! From the beautifully decorated pages to the precious stories and funny anecdotes, Watermelon and Fireflies makes your heart sing and reminds you of all of the beauty of sweet summertime.  Aunt Ruthie shares so many of her wonderful and creative ideas that inspire one to not let the season go by without “making a memory.”  I’m excited to purchase this southern jewel for each of my grandmas, aunts, mom and sister and look forward to taking a little walk down memory lane with the women who were such an integral part of the summers of my childhood. Thank you Ruthann for sharing your amazing heart with your Sugar Pie Sistas!

There’s more! Also included are 14 of my Sugar Pie Sistas Summertime ideas and sweet memories of summer’s past. When I read these  I could almost feel the  warm summer breeze flow across my face and taste the  fresh blueberry pie! And I could almost hear Grandma hummin’ an old hymn as she hung her linens out on the line…the wind snappin’ the sheets…the bees a-buzzin’.

I just want to make sure y’all understand that this E-Book is one that you will download on your computer. You will be able to read it at your computer or you can print it out.

If you’re interested in printing the E-Book, I highly recommend going down to your local Staples, Office Depot or UPS store and have them print the PDF document for you.  When I first released this e-book, there were a few gals who experienced issues with printing. The primary reason for this is the size of the PDF file (there’s just so much fun stuff!). Some computers and printers just can’t process such large files, so you may run into printing errors.

You can put your copy of “Watermelon and Fireflies” in a binder or bind it like I did;  After printing it out on quality Premium paper, I put the pages inside plastic Sheet Protectors and then tied them together with 3 strips of wide gingham ribbon. If you cut the ribbon at a slant it’s easy to thread it through each hole and tie a double knot to secure it.

Tied together with ribbons adds to the vintage, down-on-the-farm look. I also slipped a sheet of posterboard behind the front and back cover to give it a firmer, hardback feel.

So Sugar Pies, pour a tall glass of something ice-cold and yummy to drink. Relax and settle yourself into a comfy spot as you embark on this armchair adventure filled with delightful vintage charm and old fashioned fun!
