A Big Secret {I Think it’s ok to Share?}
Quite a while ago I wrote that I got a very exciting e-mail from Better Homes and Gardens. They had somehow (miraculously) discovered my blog and were interested in my burlap Christmas stockings.
Although we spent a few months e-mailing and filling out forms and contracts, I still didn’t want to get my hopes up too high… I figured there is always the chance an editor might change her mind about putting something in a magazine.
But, a few weeks ago, I got this in the mail:
I flipped through that thing faster than I have any magazine, and quickly made a discovery…
~my burlap Christmas stockings!! I was so excited I could hardly stand it ~ and honestly, it still seems so surreal.
I’ve been looking for it on stands here in Canada, but haven’t found it so far. {Have you?} But – Christmas stockings aside – I really do like the magazine. It is FULL of great ideas. If you need a creativity jumpstart, it’s an awesome place to start.
{And, no, Better Homes and Gardens didn’t compensate me for saying nice things about them. I do, however, want to thank them for the opportunity to be in one of their magazines. I feel beyond honoured.}
Ohhhh how lovely! Congratulations on the publishing! 🙂
All the best from Europe. xxx
So proud of you Rita! I linked your post on my raggygirlvintage fb page. Had a quick look tonight but haven’t found the mag yet.

Rita, that is beyond exciting! Congratulations on hitting the magazine stands with your most excellent Christmas stockings. Good on you and keep the ideas coming!
Congratulations, and no wonder because they are so beautiful. I think I saw that issue at our Metro grocery store the other day (ONT) so I will go back and double check.
Thrilled for you Rita!! You are such a creative person, and I am always inspired by your blog and creative projects. oooh, I just want to get my hands on a copy… I’ll be watching for it in the stores!! 🙂
