OMG I can hardly believe this, I feel so truly blessed, back in February I received an e-mail from Romantic Homes senior editor Justine Lopez asking me if I would be interested in submitting some photos from my blog depicting Spring, Easter, or Mothers Day. They would be published in the May issue. I took a deep breath and said to myself, OMG, I went through all the self doubt, were my photos worthy of a magazine? Well I finally said to myself go for it. I still could not believe it until I saw it for real. I must say that I have been privileged to experience some wonderful flea markets and antique shows, we have a great array of some very talented people in our area. The photos chosen, two of which were from the Barn House Flea Market last summer; one was from Little Cottage's booth, one of Bella's I believe and the final one chosen was from last springs Funky Junk Sisters show in Puyallup, Washington. I thank these wonderful vender's for sharing their talent with me.
Do you know how cool and exciting it is to see you name and photos in print? Wow! I was featured in the section of "sites we love" which show cases bloggers.
Yes I did go and buy up several copies for my family and of course myself. I can't thank every one enough for the many gifts they have shared with me, allowing the opportunity to take photos at their shows and events. Many hugs to all. Florence
