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,
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!
