"An Enchanted Cottage" and "Cape Cod Life" magazines!

Okay, this Flickr thing could be addictive!!! This is my girls on the Cape many, many moons ago!! (They're now 19 and 22!)



See what Cindy started when she posted this on her blog? And then Mary at Little Red House created one, and she even has a running list of other people who created magazines so you can see all of the covers!!

Well, I hopped right over to Flickr to join in on the fun! So here are the first two issues of "An Enchanted Cottage" magazine:


This one features Mr. B (I miss you, my sweet boy)...


And then I had fun creating a "dining room" themed cover...

So here's the Flickr link - I hope you all enjoy having complete control over YOUR personal magazine - cover and articles!!! And then send a link to Mary at Little Red House so she can add you to the list!!

And Kady - thank you so much for the award!! I will be doing a post on awards later in the week, and will include this one in that post... You are so sweet to pass this on to me :)

Guilty pleasures....

There is nothing more relaxing than a balmy summer evening, sitting out on the deck and flipping through my latest magazines...


Last night at Target I picked up the latest issues of Romantic Country, Romantic Homes, and Garden Gate (as well as some AA batteries and cat food, but they're not as pretty to photograph or as interesting to write about!)...


I spread one of my old vintage tablecloths over the patio table, put my sweet basil (for the smell) and impatiens (for the color) on the center of the table...


...and made a cup of iced coffee in one of my favorite oversized mugs.... Now it's time to sit down and pore over these inspiring magazines. So relaxing... So simple... such guilty (not!) pleasures...
