I was fortunate enough to be able
to photograph this wonderland last month,
and I am beyond thrilled
to help Robin and John
present this treasure to the world.
"On earth as it is in Heaven"
And indeed it is.
Nestled in the beautiful Bandera countryside,
in the heart of the Texas Hill Country,
is a little slice of Heaven on earth.

renowned clothing designer Robin "Magnolia Pearl" Brown and John Gray

I can't believe they are moving on and selling this amazingly beautiful property! I've seen snippets of it over the years but thank you far sharing so much more. I would love to love there of course!
The outfits are gorgeous - I'd even opt for just a Magnolia Pearl bag - all so awesome. Thanks for tossing my name in the hat - good luck to everyone when draw time arrives.

Good morning from the prairie...I have two lovely daughters and a lovely D-I-L and an 18 year old grand-daughter, they would all wear these clothes with relish!
Your photos of the property are wonderful. So much artistry and whimsy!
Posting to my twitter.
Gorgeous and creative haven! The clothing and her purses are unique and feminine. I hope the sale of this property is an indication of success and that they are moving on to bigger and better things!

What a fabulous giveaway! I just love Robins clothes, sort of like being a little girl again. This was a great post , such beautiful pictures and so much inspiration. I love the outdoor pictures, the sky is so blue and everything is sooo green. I lived in Round Rock briefly and I just couldn't adjust to the weather there, but this place truly looks like heaven.
Thanks for the chance, Pam
I've shared this most beautiful home with my friends and have kept it up on my computer for days to drool over. I'm so very envious of the person who is fortunate enough to be able to purchase it. I would love to win one of Magnolia Pearl's beautiful outfits - thanks for a chance! Amy Murillo
Beautiful property andf would love to win.
Anne, I've been a fan of Robin's for years and hate to see their home go to someone else. I love the pictures on your blog, their website, and the book, and have always thought it a fairyland! I have pinned to my Pinterest board since I have no other way to help "advertise." Thank you so much for giving us the chance to win one of Magnolia Pearl's awesome outfits! I have been loving them for such a long time!

I love that house!!! And of course now I'm all curious on the Fredricksburg home. :)
Thanks to my GA friend Brenda, I love everything Magnolia Pearl. Not that I've ever found anything here in France...
So I'm willingly taking a chance on this brilliant giveaway to get to see Magnolia Pearl clothing for real. :D
I think this property, and your photographs reflect the love that so obviously abounds there! I so wish I could buy it and soak all that in. What a magical place to let the creative juices flow! I "liked" your pinterest page on facebook (which I never do) and if I can figure out how, I plan to subscribe to your blog. I have also "followed" you on Pinterest. I can't wait to see more of your work, and to see where Magnolia Pearl lands next.
Hello and thank you for being all ears! I am so excited about the possibility of calling one of these outfits my very own - to wear everywhere, all the time (lol). Thank you for your beautiful work. You take my breath away with every photo!!! This is on my Facebook page and definitely my blog!

I love the property and I'd die for the clothes. I shared on FaceBook about the property and the give-a-way. Thank you for the opportunity.

Would love to own one of these beautiful creations!

My best friend Bonnie died 6 years ago. We used to dress up to go to the hospital for chemo, and then go out to lunch. We dreamed about a ranch like this, wearing clothing like Pearl Magnolia, picnicking in the garden. I would love to live at this charming ranch, I know there is a beautiful soul moving to Texas who is going to be thanking her lucky star!
These outfits look so from another era. Would love to win them! will FB about this giveaway!
I just popped this on my Facebook and i am hoping i can win my friend Niki a Magnolia Pearl outfit,Oh she would be so surprised as she doesn't know i am entering for her and she said she would love to dress like Robin one day,God willing her dream will come true x
I tweeted too to give my friend another chance to win a surprise Magnolia Pearl outfit :) x
Found you via Nostalgia at the Stone House...was intrigued by the photo of such an amazing home.
My one presiding thought is why anyone could leave all that beauty behind and move somewhere else; which makes me a tad concerned.
But it would be such a treat to win one of those amazing outfits!
I'm off to find out more info!!

OMG I have been a fan forever even have your book have used it for decorating my place. Love you style and taste. Hope the person who buys your place leaves it as is. Blessings to you in your future dwellings

Again, thank you!
I first read about Pearl perhaps in 2004? I remember my heart leaping inside when I saw a photo of her on the floor surrounded by old laces and trims & the most wonderful cloth. I remember thinking to myself, "Gosh, I wish I could just get down on the floor too and feel and smell and touch it all." It is my pleasure to blog about the Ranch for sale. Barbie
I posted this giveaway on my fb page. what a whimsical collection! I adored each piece and would love to wear these. I wish to win outfit no 2, ust my style.
