Glamping! Published in Flea Market Decor!

Even though I'm deep into editing 

multiple photo shoots, I absolutely, 

positively, had to shout it from the rooftops 

that my bestie, Theresa Cano of 

Garden Antqs Vintage, 

is featured in the brand new issue of 

Flea Market Decor magazine! 

To be more specific, it's Theresa's 

swank Glamper / RV that is featured, 

and it has Sweet T's sweet stamp 

all over it!

   

Even though she sets up at 

Fredericksburg Trade Days here in Fbg, TX 

every month, you can also find her at 

numerous other shows throughout Texas 

year round.

But if you want to see this little slice 

of glamping Heaven, you have to head 

on down to our neck of the woods 

and pay her a visit to Trade Days,

held the third weekend ( Fri, Sat, Sun ) 

each and every month. 

   Nobody incorporates vintage and natural elements 

in such a seamless fashion. It's just her thang, ya know?

  How great is that "lunch room" sign, I ask you??? 

I want to thank Flea Market Decor magazine 

for featuring Theresa's story and my photos,

but most of all, huge thanks and gratitude 

to Theresa herself for her friendship 

and trust in me. I love you, girl!

Published in Where Women Create Business

One week ago, I shared a little 

sneak peek from my photo shoot 

at Timeless Menagerie / The Shopkeeper's Inn 

for the current issue of 

Where Women Create Business. 

The subject of the feature is 

my wonderfully talented and beautiful friend, 

Lori Smithers. And Bitsy. Mustn't forget Bitsy... 

First I'll share the photos from the 

gorgeous upstairs B&B ( The Shopkeeper's Inn ), 

followed by some shop photos ( Timeless Menagerie ). 

Many thanks to Jo Packham, Brandy Shay, 

and Lori herself for making this project 

a joy from start to finish! 

Right on West Main, here in Fredericksburg, Texas. 

Shop downstairs, lodging upstairs.
You can find Lori's shop HERE.

One of the gorgeous bedrooms.

Lori decorated The Shopkeeper's Inn with 

a mixture of antiques and new pieces and linens 

from Rachel Ashwell's collections. 

Who doesn't love a transom window?

Each room has a distinct character all its own.

Many of the antique pieces have been 

refinished and painted using Annie Sloan Chalk Paints, 

which Lori stocks in the shop downstairs.

Above, a fab example of a grand old piece 

given new life via Annie Sloan paint. 

Lori and the gals at Timeless Menagerie 

teach Annie Sloan workshops on a regular basis. 

The living room and common area 

at the B&B.

Above, Rachel Ashwell Shabby Chic Couture napkins. 

Nothing but the best! 

You know you're in Texas.....

And then some photos of Lori in her office 

downstairs inside the shop.

CEO of all things magical and wonderous, Bitsy. 

 A typically "wow" shop vignette.

So much beauty!

And speaking of beauty....

Lori's precious Frenchie, Bitsy. 

And nobody but nobody ever made a Rachel Ashwell 

sofa look this darn good. 

Your one-stop Annie Sloan HQ!

 So thank you for taking a peek 

at the latest issue of 

Where Women Create Business! 

I've completed two more shoots for Stampington, 

another for Where Women Create Business, 

one for Where Women Create, and an upcoming one 

for Where Women Cook. These are all exceptionally 

high quality publications, produced with love by a group 

of folks who genuinely love 

seeing women succeed and shine.

Back soon with news about another magazine feature, 

this one in Flea Market Decor!

So I had originally intended to share more

of the current issue of

 Where Women Create Business

that I was privileged to shoot,

( featuring Lori Smithers and Timeless Menagerie! )

and which is currently on newsstands.

And I will, pinky swear.

 

But being smack-dab in the middle

of editing another WWC project,

I need to complete that first.

But in the meantime.....

 

Every photo shoot is a blast for me,

and every image is like a child,

a little part of me sent out there into the world,

for better or worse.

 

Most of my photography pursuits

are paid jobs. But every once in a very rare while,

I do something just for me.

A passion project.

 

There are many more images in this series,

but today I am sharing only one.

 

"joyride".

 

 

If I were able, I'd spend every single day

exploring and photographing abandoned homes

and factories. Discarded and forgotten churches

and amusement parks. This type of photography

is called "urbex", short for urban exploration.

 

It can be messy and dangerous

and even ( shhhh, don't tell )

even illegal when trespassing is involved.

 

But aren't the best things in life a little risky?

The reward is worth only the amount of risk taken.

Or so said my fortune cookie.

 

:-)

 

More from "joyride" and from

the new Where Women Create Business

magazine feature coming soon!

Where Women Create Project...Sneak Peek!

Late last year, I was overjoyed to be able 

to photograph the shop and B&B of my good friend, 

Lori Smithers, right here in Fredericksburg, Texas. 

The shop: Timeless Menagerie

The B&B ( above the shop! ): The Shopkeeper's Inn

The Magazine: Where Women Create Business

I've loved working with a lot of publications the past 5 years, 

but Jo Packham and Brandy Shay 

of Where Women Create are simply marvelous. 

My passion has always been sharing the beautiful, talented 

women right here in my hometown. 

And teaming up with the Where Women Create family, 

who are ALL ABOUT promoting beautifully talented women, 

has been a dream. 

Here are a few photos of the feature, 

lots more to come next week.... 

The Shopkeeper's Inn, above.

The current issue above!

Lori and Bitsy hard at work. 

Mostly Bitsy. ;-) 

A taste of what you can find downstairs 

at Timeless Menagerie. 

The grand shop and B&B.

And my pinch myself moment, 

found in the "Traveling Companions" 

section in the back of the magazine 

where the contributors are listed....

This is the Spring 2015 Issue 

of Where Women Create Business.

I've completed another shoot for WWCB 

which will be in the Summer issue, 

and have a shoot planned this Saturday for the flagship mag, 

Where Women Create. 

I'm staying busy, and although it's sometimes 

an "aarrgghh, what have I gotten myself INTO" 

sorta busy, it's still pretty darn rewarding 

at the end of the day. 

:-)

See you all soon with more from this 

feature!
