All those years of decorating Christmas trees to “look good enough to be in a magazine” finally paid off. My Christmas decorations from last year are…wait for it…IN A MAGAZINE.
So this is exciting.
I need to explain this. I’ve seen my stuff in magazines before. Magazines have paid to me make and photograph things in the past. And it’s awesome. But to be honest, it’s usually a blip in a side panel, next to an ad for aluminum siding. Filler. Or I’ll whip myself into a frenzy making something on request, only to find out it got cut before publication. But it’s okay, because none of these things are reflections of me, so I don’t take it personal. That’s sorta why I never mentioned this was happening months ago…I assumed it might get cut, or relegated to a cameo appearance. So, that said, imagine my surprise when I went to Barnes and Noble last weekend to find not just a photo, but a six page spread! And a really lovely (but probably far-too flattering) write up too.
Thanks so much to Zoe and Karen, and everyone at Flea Market Decor magazine. I hope y’all check it out — and not just because they featured me (and a DIY you won’t find here – heyo), but because you’ll see some seriously nifty stuff. If I didn’t have the Christmas spirit already, it just hit me like a sac of sleigh bells.
Merry Christmas!
Fantastic and love that one of my favourite bloggers is on paper! I live in England so am not sure how easy it would be for me to get my hands on it but will let all my over-the-Pond friends and family know so they can look out for it!
Congrats!!! Very exciting!!! I just love visiting your site. Cheers!!!
Congrats. Looks amazing
Now we get a voyeuristic ‘home tour’ of your home through someone else’s eyes.
So it’s like opening our Christmas stockings, too!!
WOW. That’s one of the coolest things ever. It’s about time your Christmas trees got the attention they deserve.
I love how it states “Well Styled Home” right above the name of the magazine–and your home is featured inside–on SIX pages! That’s pretty high praise. I must get this issue tomorrow.
Congratulations!
Oh Peaches! I am out the door to B&N! …and hot cup of coffee, too! Breathtaking! Contrats!
Very nice, congratulations! You earned it, your work is great. And I always enjoy coming to your site to see what you are doing. I hope the accolades keep coming!
That is fantastic, I am so pleased for you 🙂
Like an earlier poster I am in the UK so unlikely to get to see the article but I am happy to know that you are getting the recognition that you deserve.
Very nice, congratulations.
So glad to see this. Your work is delightful. I’m going to pick up that magazine today! Glitter on!
Peaches!! I am so excited for you! Now I am out the door – gotta get to B&N to get my copy of Flea Market Decor.
It’s wonderful to see your ‘stuff’ in print. It is somehow more real that way. Congratulations!
I am so SUPER EXCITED for you! So pretty!
How wonderful…and I love that all these comments are people getting excited for someone else’s success and excitement… this is such a great community you have here!
this is so cool peaches! i have never even heard of this magazine… strange to, as is seems to have been written with me in mind.
congratulations, i can’t wait to check it out.
Your house is freaking amazing and definitely deserves a 6-page spread. Congrats!!
Congrats! Can’t wait to pick up the magazine.
