One of My Creations in ROMANTIC HOMES Magazine!

Today one of my lovely customers, the fabulous Kim, sent me a message through my etsy shop. She saw a pin cushion in the latest issue of Romantic Homes magazine. She asked if it was one of mine because it certainly looked like it. Well, I just had to see that magazine, but it wasn't yet at my local grocers and I had a small amount of time to find a copy before I had to pick my son up from his after school activity. So, I did the next best thing and flew over to Debbie's house. She lives minutes from me and I KNEW she would have a copy as she sells Romantic Homes through her fabulous and famous online shop Bayberry Cove. I also work part-time for Debbie and it is a highlight of my week! Thankfully she had the May issue in stock and I grabbed a copy!

I thumbed through the magazine, searching and searching to see if Kim had actually seen one of my pin cushions in there. And then there on page 59 in a very cute article full of eye-candy was a pin cushion I had made in what seemed ages ago.

Perched on top of a stack of lovely fabrics in a wonderful photo by Jaimee Itagaki, and styled by Jacqueline deMontravel (Senior Editor of Romantic Homes magazine), was a little bisque dog pin cushion which I had made and sold quite a while ago.

And there it was again near the back of the magazine on the shopping guide page! What a thrill! Alas, the pin cushion wasn't credited as one of mine, but that's most likely because who ever had it and was using it as a prop in this pretty scene didn't remember where she got it either! I have sold over 500 of these pin cushions and couldn't for the life of me remember who I had sold this cutie to. Doesn't matter! I am flattered to bits that it was chosen as a whimsical prop to be used in my favorite magazine!

So, I'd like to thank KIm for her sharp eye! And even though my pin cushion is a small component in a wonderful issue of Romantic Homes, I am deeply honored to have it included!~~~XXOO, Beth
