Busy, Busy, Busy!


Wow!
October and November have been super busy
months for me, with regards to photo shoots.
But I'm hardly complaining, quite the contrary.

I've been fortunate enough to have a 
feature article on the magazine stands now,
and another one coming out this month.
And in between, I've been keeping busy
doing shoots for local clients,
such as my friend Melissa Mabery,
who owns a trio of darling bed and breakfasts,
Cotton Haus, Clover Haus and Canary Haus.

I shared my shoot at Cotton Haus with you
and today, I'm back to give you
a few peeks at the charming Clover Haus.


Bright and cheery!
Who wouldn't want to stay here?


Just inside the front door,
a wall of vintage mirrors graces the foyer.


And this....I have no words.
So simple, so unexpected, so freaking amazing!


Each of the "Haus" B&B's has three bedrooms,
and at Clover Haus, you can grab a comfy seat
by the fireplace in the master bedroom sitting area.


I'm so impressed with Melissa's ability
to create such unique and tranquil spaces.
Each B&B truly has its own personality.


I can't wait to share Canary Haus 
with you next time!

To book a reservation,
here's the info:

Part Two-My Flea Market Decor Magazine Feature



I came, I saw,
I took a few hundred photos!
And the lovely folks at
were kind enough to print my story and photos
of Jill Elliott's lovely Frederickburg, Texas home in their 
Winter 2013 Issue.

But I'd be quite the remiss blogger
if I didn't share more 
of the captivating Elliott residence.
Jill is the owner of 
here in Fredericksburg, and an accomplished designer
in her own right.

Not only can she put together
a drop-dead gorgeous ensemble
for an evening out, she also knows
more than a thing or two about creating
a home which not only radiates warmth
and character, but also provides endless inspiration.

Enjoy!
And don't forget to click this link here
to see all the beauty I shared 
from the Elliott dwelling last week!






A Jill Elliott lampshade,
created on the fly. This gal is amazing!


Another one of Jill's "girls".


Hill Country comfort
meets Old World charm.


Quintessentially Fredericksburg.




And who doesn't love a vintage glider,
accessorized with colorful, oil-cloth pillows? 


A bedroom fit for a princess....
Jill's daughter, in fact!

And speaking of....


A sweet little doll of a girl,
Jill's daughter is.


I'll be sharing even more of the Elliott home
in the days ahead. But please grab a copy
of the brand new, Winter 2013
Flea Market Decor, to read my story
and learn more about Jill.


Have a happy and blessed week!

Thank you, Flea Market Decor...Published!


I've had the good fortune to work with
and be published by Beckett Media 
multiple times the past three years.

They are the folks behind the magazines
we know and love like Romantic Homes,
Cottages and Bungalows, and now
....for the first time...
I've had the honor of being published
in the one Beckett mag near and dear
to my junkin' heart,


I consider all the wonderful gals at Beckett
to be friends....Jacqueline, Meryl, Jickie, Elaine, Karen.

But the real joy in doing this project
was being able to work closely and collaborate
with real-life, love-em-to-death,
reach-out-and-touch-em friends...
and
Binky Morgan.

Jill is the owner of the to-die-for
clothing boutique Haberdashery
in Fredericksburg, Texas.
Binky owns my idea of vintage
heaven on earth, Binky LaFaye in Llano, Texas.

But this time,
we were on a mission....

The Project: Jill's gorgeous 1911 home
The Magazine: Flea Market Decor
The Issue: Winter 2013
The Photographer: Me
The Writer: Me again!
The Stylists: Jill and Binky




Although we were given a lovely 4 page spread,
I wanted to share more of the images
taken during this wonderfully fun
and inspiring photo shoot.
Part One, today,
I'll share the rest later in the week!






















Ain't she cute?


 I always tell her that I absolutely
will NOT EVER edit out her nose crinkles
when she smiles, because I think
they are just too adorable.
Am I right?

The Winter 2013 Issue of
Flea Market Decor
is widely available everywhere,
so please pick up a copy.
My sweet friend Janet Coon of Shabbyfufu
also has a great feature in the same issue!

More of Jill's stunning abode
coming soon!

Farmhouse Boutique


So one of the many, many perks
of living in a vintage shopping paradise
such as Fredericksburg, Texas,
is that there is most certainly no shortage
of fabulous antique shops and boutiques.

And lemme tell ya,  Fredericksburg hit the jackpot last month
when the gifted Debbie Hedgpeth brought her
creative vision to our little 'burg
and opened up the altogether charming
Farmhouse Boutique
right here in our unassuming little hamlet.


I was positively giddy when I got the call
asking if I would do a photo shoot
for Farmhouse Boutique
( for website and advertising photos ),
and I immediately jumped at the chance.
Not only is Debbie's shop a dream,
but she's a pretty nifty gal, herself.

Enjoy the tour through Fredericksburg's latest
addition to Main Street shopping.
Farmhouse Boutique.


 Debbie carries a large line
of Spartina bags and
I was pleasantly surprised
to discover this lovely line.
Such high quality, and style to spare!


More Spartina...

And I'm loving the pattern
on these black and white
Spartina bags!



The old mixed with the new.
Just lovely.



And never a shortage of
stunning jewelry from which to choose.




Adore these!
But the one below stole my
Texan heart.


Texas Girl.
That's me, through and through.


Debbie also carries a full line of
Lulah Body Lotions and Washes and Mists.
This stuff smells positively heavenly!


And even something for
the little people!
A darling assortment of goodies for
the littlest Fashionistas and Dapper Dan's out there.




And then below...
words fail.


Uhhhhhh.....perfection???
'Cuz that's the only fitting one
I could come up with!
Be still my heart, oh Lordy...


The welcoming vignette above greets guests
behind the counter.

And outside on the porch?


Debbie doesn't miss a beat,
the beauty spills over 
and overflows to the large porch,
beckoning in passers-by.

Thank you so much Debbie, for trusting me
to shoot your shop, 
and I hope that if you're in the area,
you'll make it a point to pay
Farmhouse Boutique a visit.
