If I have a little extra bounce in my step today it’s because something lovely arrived in the post yesterday.
The lovely Mary Forsell, editor of the US Romantic Country magazine sent me two copies of their latest issue, (Spring 2012).
And here’s why. . .
this here little blog of mine was featured in ‘The Blog Spot’ department.
I was pretty surprised. . . and just between you and me, absolutely thrilled when Mary contacted me back in November to tell me they were featuring my blog.
Although we don’t get this gorgeous magazine here in Australia, I was certainly aware of it through the blogosphere. It’s a New York based lifestyle magazine that features the prettiest interiors, gardens, artists, shops, and inns. Every page is filled with the most beautiful photography and stunning people and places.
Thank you Romantic Country magazine for featuring a glimpse of my creative life at Shabby Art Boutique.
Also a big WELCOME and hello to any US visitors popping in here for the first time.
Now I mentioned that Mary sent me two copies of the magazine. . . I’m keeping my copy to gush over, but would love to gift the other copy to an Australian follower of Shabby Art Boutique.
Soooo, if you’re a follower and would like to check out this gorgeous magazine, plus receive a little something else from Shabby Art Boutique, please leave a comment on this post. I’ll announce a winner next Monday.
Hugs ~ Kerryanne

“…the gorgeous coastal town of New South Wales…”. How funny they are in good old Americay!!!! The first time I went to LA (1984) and went downstairs at the POSH hotel to change some money the chickie on the counter kept asking if there was a difference between Australia and Austria, finally gave up on my hideous accent, rang the bank, looked at my $$$ and asked for the exchange rate for Austrian money. I am only sorry I had $A200 on me to change into more than $US600…
Congratulations somewhat belatedly, I have just discovered your blog and am having fun cruising though it all. Hugs, Jasmine in Newstead (Vic)
