Creating Vintage Charm

Art and Design for Pretty Living~

Several months ago, I was asked by contributing editor, Cindy Adkins of Creating Vintage Charm Magazine to tell my creative journey in an interview written feature with photos.

This lovely publication arrived at my door this week and within pages 10 and 11 of the Winter 2012 issue is my little story of my artful journey over the years.

 
Editor-In-Chief, Sonia Crouse, creates a beautiful publication offered quarterly and available on line for purchase.
Inside you will find Cover Stories, The Marketplace, Meet The Artist, Gift Giving, Gallery, Inspirations, At Home, Events, Free Cut Out Images and more including beautiful photos.

Here is the link if you would like to order a copy.
direct from Mag Cloud or visit www.CreatingVintageCharm.com
It was a joy to work with Cindy Adkins once again on this project. She is a very talented artist and author publishing many books on Amazon, and not surprising, best sellers all.


  Recently I popped in our favorite red bullseye store (Target) and found these darling ornaments made from woven wood in whites and natural colors.

 Not many left and one lady wanted the natural, so in the spirit of the season, I wanted her to have those and so I only got the white in a star and heart. Back to the studio they came for a little redesign. I added vintage hem ribbon, glitter, silk flowers, embellishment gems and of course glitter. These little treasures will be a gift soon if I can part with them. I don't keep much, but once in awhile I have to have a treat!!
Thank you for stopping by. As always, I enjoy your visits, comments and welcome new followers. Have a Merry Day!!!! Hugs, Celestina Marie

MsC, congratulations on your magazine inclusion! How excited you must have been. You so deserve it. I love the wickery star... gorgeous. We don't have a target anywhere close to us. We would have to drive an hour or so. But Jeffrey Allens often has stuff like this. I love this idea, thanks for sharing. Tammy
