i’m a little tired of talking about myself all the time. i’ve been answering a lot of comments (something i haven’t had the luxury of doing till lately), and have had the chance to explore all the luscious blogs out there. my next post will be about sharing them!

but…i just got a copy of Romantic Homes for Valentine’s Day and was one of the contributers on what’s romantic to me. i was blown away by the company i was in and completely inspired by their layouts and stories! here’s a sampling:

this was mine of course:

i could go on and on, it’s a beautiful issue as usual. i know there are so many of you out there with so much talent. if you want to showcase it in a magazine, i suggest you contact RH with some shots of your stuff. they are so easy to work with and always need new ideas so why not?

ok, on another note, i’m paring down and just have way too much stuff. this batch was used in a photoshoot recently and i’m not taking it to florida or putting it in storage sooooo, it’s going to be my first giveaway! if you leave a comment i’ll have the random number counter choose the winner. free shipping, LOL!

    Hello,
    I’m coming out of the closet (or linen press I would like to think) to comment on your blog and tell you congrats for your contribution to RH! I have been a long time fan of yours since a friend loaned me your book. I didn’t want to return it! I would love to see more of your home, hhmmm… maybe I will go back in your archives to see if I missed it.

    Congrats again!

    I tried to comment when Daisy passed but my computer wouldn’t let me. If you ever come across the childrens book “All Dogs go to Heaven” you have to pick it up. You’ll cry your eyes out the first time you read it, but then it becomes a beautiful way to think of them and all the fun they’re having! xo
