Welcome to Marsh Homestead Country Antiques! My name is Judy Condon and I'm the author of the "simply country" book series and superct on eBay where I've been a power seller for over eleven years.
In 2002, my husband Jeff was relocated to Virginia which resulted in a major life change for us! I retired as a Superintendent of Schools in Connecticut, closed my ten year old antique shop, Marsh Homestead Country Antiques in Litchfield and we headed south. It was painful to sell our 1764 Northfield Connecticut home built by Elijah Marsh, the grandson of John Marsh, founder of Litchfield. As a remedy for soothing a saddened heart and suddenly finding time on my hands, I decided to write the book I had held in my head for twenty years and which I always knew I would title, Country on a Shoestring!
Thus the "simply country" series was born! It has continued to grow with increased readership and enthusiasm. Letters, calls and emails are received daily with appreciation for filling a gap in the hearts and souls of country lovers! There are currently seven books available with one more coming in 2009; Home Again - Simply Country in September. I've begun work on four books for 2010; the first of which is titled The Warmth of Home and available for order! I advertise in Country Sampler and Country Business magazine so you may be kept abreast of publication dates. I am currently looking for homes to photograph with country gardens and other homes for upcoming books. I expect to be in Connecticut and Massachusetts in May, New Hampshire and Maine in June, Ohio and Western Pennsylvania in July. If you live in Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin, Kentucky or Tennessee and think your home might fit into my books, please email me if you would be interested in being included in a holiday or garden book.
When I wrote Country on a Shoestring and wanted to market it to country shops through the largest national trade show, Market Square, I was told I couldn't just sell a book. I had to bring something else. I created a blackened wax lamb, took it to Market and came back with orders for 2,000! Suddenly Marsh Homestead Country Antiques was producing over sixty pieces of hand poured primitive wax pieces which were sold wholesale to country shops in the US and Canada. In October 2009, time no longer permitted me to create the wax pieces and country handcrafted items, do 15 trade shows a year and write four books each year. I am focusing my time and energies now on the creation of the "simply country" book series.
In my spare time, I enjoy playing golf with my husband Jeff, reading and playing Bridge. Utilizing my background as an educational administrator and Connecticut State Assessor of beginning teachers, I am committed to working with teachers on the island of St. Maarten. When in St. Maarten, I volunteer my time by offering workshops to help teachers learn new instructional practices and classroom management techniques hoping that I can make a small difference in increased learning opportunities for the children on the island. I've also taught classes at the University there for students in training to become the future teachers on the island. In addition, I have begun the process of collecting and purchasing used books which I ship to the schools; my goal being to create a library in each of the public schools on the Dutch side. In two years, I've already seen a change which motivates me to continue further down this road.
