I could write a long post about giving and sharing with those we love and the world at large. But you don't need me to tell you what to do!
So, I will only bring up what (beside the obvious) is on my mind today and everyday: the too-often forgotten, abandoned and/or abused countless, helpless little creatures. Love them and they will love you back forever....no question asked!
BE THEIR VALENTINE, WON'T YOU?
ADOPT A PET, MAKE THIS DAY
THE BEST VALENTINE DAY
EVER.
HELLO my friends
It's been so long since I last posted but between finishing the cookbook in November, beginning to put together the new magazine in December and shooting 11 homes in January and February..well...you know! Honestly, though I do get up everyday (yes, including Saturdays and Sundays)between 4.30 and 5.00 AM and work until at least 10PM I still don't get everything done. Then there is travel, shoots... One day, I will learn to kick back a bit...maybe, perhaps, possibly,unlikely....who knows!
Meanwhile, the magazine is coming along beautifully and is ALMOST done. Another week or so and it will be off to the printer then on newsstands around mid-March. I am still working on the companion website but have not found time to add to it. But keep checking as we will have a great giveaway to coincide with the premier issue. I would be most grateful if you would put this banner on your blog or you can put the blog button located on the right sidebar. Thanks!!
In late January, Mark Lohman (my favorite photographer)flew to FL from L.A and we shot 7 homes. Then, right after, we took off for Michigan to shoot 4 more. We went there to shoot for the winter issue but there was NO snow! Bummer!! So, we shot all the interiors and we have to fly back to do the exteriors as soon as there is about 2 feet of snow. Here is a little peek at the Florida homes. The styles are varied as we shot for various magazines (not just for Romantic Prairie Style).
I know it's just a tease but all these homes will be showing up in magazines this year so I can't post more photos. Sorry.
OK, that's it for now. Sometime this weekend I will post photos of the Michigan shoots and updates on
Check it out!
So nice to be back home and in touch again! In spite of all that's happening, I often feel like I am working in a vacuum and miss being in touch and getting your lovely emails and comments!!
Thank you!
WISHING EVERYONE A
JOYOUS CHRISTMAS
AND A
STELLAR 2012
MAY ALL YOUR DREAMS BECOME REALITY.
AND MAKE A LITTLE ANIMAL'S DREAM COME THROUGH TOO: GIVE ONE A LOVING HOME.
Hello everyone!
I hope you all enjoyed a lovely Thanksgiving.
I know, I have been out of touch lately but I had good reasons: I finished THE ROMANTIC PRAIRIE COOKBOOK, started to put together the plan for book #3 and I have been working on a new magazine, which I think you will LOVE. So, here is the scoop........
A Few Examples.............
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
NOW, I would love if you would email me photos of your home, edible garden, artisanal work and anything that fits the magazine's focus as described above.
If you do, PLEASE send ONLY low res and include your physical address and phone number. If your home, edible garden, business are a good fit for ROMANTIC PRAIRIE'S lifestyle we will schedule a photo shoot.
The next round of shoots will start after the holidays.
GET READY!
By the way, locations can be anywhere in the country, including Hawaii, but our Canadian neighbors are welcome as well.
Here is a little recap of the type of HOMES I am looking for:
*rural retreats
*traditional to contemporary farmhouse
*rustic cabins
*historic cottages
*picturesque ranches
*barn revivals and conversions
*Country Inns and B&Bs
Gardens
vegetable/herb gardens (small and large)even food grown in pots will work.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
ROMANTIC PRAIRIE will also have its own website,soon. I will put a link on my blog to let you know when it's ready.
NOW YOU KNOW! I LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING FROM YOU, TO FEATURE YOUR HOMES, GARDENS AND ARTISANAL WORK AND MAKE NEW FRIENDS.
THANK YOU!
