My Cottages and Bungalows Magazine Feature!

I'm really happy to finally be able to share with you

a project I completed quite some time ago,

my very first story ( article & photographs, 8 pages total )

for one of my favorite publications,

Cottages and Bungalows Magazine.

I photographed the gorgeous and whimsical home

belonging to Patricia and Ray Hamm
 for the November 2012, issue.

Patricia and her talented partner  
Debbie Stevenson are co-owners
of the Llano, Texas store named...what else?
 Whimsey's, 
and this delightful little gem of a store
more than lives up to its name.

After taking a stroll through this

utterly charming vintage shop,

it's no surprise whatsoever

to see that the same playful

blueprint is at work on the homefront, too.

And it's always a treat when I'm also

able to contribute the text for the article, too.

Gotta keep those writing muscles flexed, after all!

The house is a virtual kaleidoscope of color,

and is filled with playful, imaginative

touches throughout.

Thank you to Editor Jickie Torres

for being a dream to work with!
Let's do it again, soon!

Thank you to the Hamm's
for graciously opening up their home to us.

And finally, I most definitely owe a HUGE debt of thanks

to my lovely and super talented friend and stylist for this project,

Binky Morgan of Binky La Faye. 

 

Beautiful Binky was supposed to receive a styling credit

for her work, but I was dismayed to see that somewhere

in between the submitted text leaving my hands and the issue

seeing print, Binky's name had been left off.

I'm here to right that wrong, and to give Binky

the props she most certainly deserves!

I hope you'll head out and grab the issue,

it's filled with great ideas for small spaces

and Fall inspiration galore.

I'll be back later with news

about another magazine feature I have

out this month. :-)

Have a great week!
