good homes



Last November I was approached by GoodHomes magazine asking me to send them one of my purses for possible use in a future issue. They sent it back to me a couple of weeks later and because I heard nothing more, I thought perhaps they weren't going to use it after all.

Imagine my surprise and delight then, to see it featured in the new March issue. It's been included in an article about decorating and accessorising your room, using craft materials such as crochet, knitting, lace and felt. The purse is this cashmere one and I don't mind saying I was as excited as a child on Christmas morning when I saw it sitting there, on the top of a lovely pile of cushions.

It's only a small picture but it certainly made my weekend!

Hoping you had a lovely weekend too?

And one more thing, thank you so much for your good health messages, you bloggy girls are so lovely! x

  5. Well done on being in the mag! Your purse is beautiful btw, I love those soft neutral shades. I know how excited you must feel!! I've worked for (crafts) mags for years and still love seeing my work appear in them. Because someone else does the styling and takes the picture it's always a nice surprise to see what it looks like! Helen x

There's nothing like a comment to stop me feeling like I'm talking to myself. If you leave one here I'll pop one back here too, so don't forget to come back and continue the conversation ..
