MY BIGGEST SECRET EVER, AND ONE OF THE BEST DAYS OF MY LIFE!

"Country Victorian" magazine choose my "Pink Fairy Cottage" to feature in their Annual Magazine. Although it won't be on newstands for a couple more days (September 11th), I just couldn't wait a minute longer to tell everyone.

I am so very excited and happy that all the joy and fun that went into my newest Decorating Project paid off in a BIG way. Thank you to everyone who had a hand in making this project a "Dream Come True".

A special thank you to my husband Mike who actually came up with the idea this spring and said "Let's go for it". Who knew how "Big" a "Small" idea could turn out to be!

I hope you all have a chance to pick up a copy. If you can't find it on your newsstand, let me know and I will do my best to get you one!
