For years, I have dreamed of one day being featured in the highly coveted annual feature in Romantic Homes of women who inspire...
this being of course, The Romantics...
Never actually thinking it would happen, you can imagine my surprise and delight when I was approached by them a few months back about being included in this February's issue.
I had to write a short essay on how I live my life romantically as well as summing up in one sentence the most romantic thing that I have ever done.
Oh the pressure!
But I enjoyed every minute...and was even more thrilled when I discovered that it had come out {thanks to you wonderful blogging Ladies who keep me up to date on things}...
There are several other wonderful women featured as well, so you must go get a copy if you haven't yet...I insist :)
In other news, I also had an article come out in the Winter 2011 issue of Somerset Life featuring my lavender sachet cones, also now available on news stands.
I purchased a lovely bouquet of dried lavender sprigs on Etsy to inspire me as I wrote...
For those of you who pick up these magazines, I sincerely hope that you are inspired and enjoy the articles...
Till next time...
Wow, congratulations--that is very exciting news!
{And I have those exact same French flash cards--I love how you've used one of them as a tag on the sachet...}
xo,
Ivy

I had the pleasure of reading your article in Somerset Life, Alice, and I was inspired to make some lavender cones! To be honest, I don't have much spare time at the moment... but who knows? I might end up with a few ones to keep with me while moving, as last minute gifts. Thanks for the inspiration!
Hope you're having fun with your home decorating!
Big hugs, and congrats once again.
Monica xo.

I have often wondered what it would be like to be featured in a publication ~ ever since Victoria was started. Who knows, perhaps one day. ;-) Congratulations again Alice ~ it really is a beautiful and romantic issue.

To live in one of those photos, it would have to be heaven on earth. They all look so peacefull and lovely.
Unlike my home, where everything looks and smells like death.
