Countryberries is a primitive country gift shop located in scenic Deerfield, New Hampshire. The shop is nestled in the side of a hill, amidst trees and rock walls. One enters the shop through an herb garden filled with bee skeps, birdhouses, signs and garden art which continues onto the large front porch and into the shop.

Inside, electric candles, tin and wood lighting fixtures and lamps made from old bobbins create a cozy atmosphere. The scents of primitive candles and potpourri fill the air. The walls are richly decorated with traditional stencils. The floors are wide pine boards covered with braided rugs. One is reminded of a simpler time long ago.

Countryberries is arranged like a home. The "living room", complete with fireplace and chandelier, features primitive paintings, miniature houses and stenciled boxes. Folk art, decoys and Noah's arks share space with primitive dolls and angels. Mohair bears by some of America's leading artists snuggle on a painted pine bench. Whimsical characters by Williraye are displayed in reproduction pine cupboards. Every nook and cranny is filled with unusual folk art.

In the "kitchen" you'll find candles by Mole Hollow and Village Candle as well as many unusual and primitive candles and accessories. Stoneware and redware pottery, handwoven linens, homespun and tin cookie cutters fill the shelves. Dips, soups, cookie mixes and maple syrup line the cupboards next to cookbooks from Gooseberry Patch. Handmade baskets hang from an overhead beam.

Upstairs in the loft "bedroom", Boyds bears and bunnies, small quilts and braided rugs are on display. Dried flowers fill a large antique basket. Handmade soaps and bath salts are available in a variety of delightful scents. Traditional stencils, as well as latex and simulated milk paints by Olde Century Colors, are available for you to create your own country look. A special northwoods area offers decorations for cottages on local lakes.

Owners Bruce and Kathy Grahams' work is on display throughout the shop. Kathy's primitive landscapes reflect the style of one of her favorite artists, Rufus Porter. She paints on almost anything, but prefers wood boxes and gameboards. She also paints many of the signs and seasonal pieces such as scarecrows and angels. Currently, she is painting a 32' mural of Deerfield for the town's elementary school. Bruce enjoys woodworking and makes many of the furniture pieces found thoughout the shop. His specialty is primitive pine furniture with a painted and antiqued finish.
