A lot of you already know,
but for those who do not, I was
a contributor on the current issue of
Not only was I the author and photographer
of a piece titled "Old House Love",
but I was also the subject of a feature story
by celebrated stylist, writer, photographer, designer and artist
I encourage you to visit Debi's new blog,
She has been featured in Where Women Create, Somerset Life,
Porch, Retreat, and a whole host of other publications.
Debi's story on me is called
"A Life in Focus"...
Yes, I see the irony that much of the above photo
is OUT of focus. I blurred it intentionally.
Can't have y'all reading the whole article
Can't have y'all reading the whole article
and not rushing out and buying a copy, can we?
Debi was thoughtful enough to want to include
a good deal of content on my precious mama,
who passed away this past September.
Thank you Deb, that meant a lot.
a little story of my own in this same issue....
It's titled "Old House Love", and is the first in what
I envision to be a series on what it's like for life-long
city dwellers to embrace the joys and simplicities
of life in a century old Victorian farmhouse.
Right now, it's available at
right here in Fredericksburg, Texas...
And you can also grab a copy
via the FOLK website
HERE.
Thank you for all your kind words of support
and encouragement in this new endeavour,
I'm having a blast!

Hi Anne!
How exciting for you to be featured in this lovely new magazine....not to mention the Awesome Deb Kennedy too. I was wondering what in the heck happened to her? I am now a FOLLOWER of hers more like a stalker he-he wink wink. Seriously I am head over heals for the Great Northwest folks and Deb was always a fav of mine. Good to know she is right back here on her old stomping grounds of S.CA and low and behold my neighbor lol. I hope you have a great week...
Smiles,
Sheila
