Wow! September has been a very exciting month here at the Plate Addicts…and it is a dream come true for me as a blogger! First, my home is featured in the latest issue of Country Sampler magazine! Yep! Can you believe it? You may remember that I shared my news about the photo shoot here.
And I still can’t believe that it finally happened…my home all decorated for Christmas published in a magazine! 
It was so much fun to work with the photographer and the stylist, Franklin and Esther Schmidt, who are perhaps some of the most interesting people I have ever met, and to be able to share the results of that wonderful day!
And you will also find Confessions of a Plate Addict in the current issue of Mary Janes Farm! I was happy to discover this wonderful organic lifestyle magazine, filled with lots of fabulous recipes and crafts!

ReplyDeleteDebbie, I'm so excited for you. I'm trying to track down an issue of Country Sampler now that I'm back home.
ReplyDeleteThought of you time and again as I enjoyed my time in our favorite Parisian neighborhood. It hasn't changed much, just a new shop or restaurant here and there and the post office is getting a make-over. Weather was perfect for my visit, and I walked to my heart's content taking in all the beauty that Paris has to offer. '-)
Congratulations on all the attention you are receiving. It is well deserved!
Congratulations!! You have been a very busy lady..I can't wait to get my copy of Country Sampler. I have been using it as my decorating bible for years
