Romantic Homes Review- August 2013

I don't know about you but I
get a huge kick out of opening
a magazine that I have been perusing for years
and find that , since I started blogging,
I KNOW some of the people
that are featured inside the cover.

These are in no particular order...
just how they loaded up for me today.
First up is Mary Ellen's
There's a six page spread.
Her blog is beautiful and she has
a knack for beautiful displays.

Yep- Here is the August Cover
It's as gorgeous as ever!
Oooops- I see it scanned in a little askew...sorry 'bout that!
And that 
darned girl that seems to be in every
magazine I open 
sweet darling, Elyse from
is in this month again- She does such 
beautiful craft work and has an 
artist's heart and eye.
She has THE CUTEST projects!
Do you know Jane from
Blondie's Journal?
She is a dear, down-to-earth person.
She has a city home and a lakeside home
and moves back and forth effortlessly.
She's a good shopper and a good cook
and shares her love of both on her blog.
Oh---
Judy-Judy-Judy
(that was an old line attributed to Cary Grant)
Anyway- 
Judy from 20 North Ora
 wants you to know she has
a very nice bust!
What?  Well, of course NOT-
I am talking about her 
DRESS FORM BUST
~Miss Begonia~
Isn't she lovely?
Wish I had a bust like that!
I could, you know!
With plastic surgery......
Happy Sunday-
I am gone most of the day
but will try to catch up tonight.

    Diana, I know what you mean about being excited that you've blogged back and forth with some of the bloggers in the magazine. I am happy as can be...I blog with Blondie and Judy. Love those ladies. I am just going to have to get a subscription to Romantic Homes. It is one of my all time favoriet magazines. I remember years ago, tearing out a couple articles and keeping them...because I fell in love with the decorating.xoxox, Susie

    I agree! I did a tiny post a little while back about winning a magazine.......sipping tea outdoors, reading it then it started raining.

    WELL, imagine my surprise a week or so later our very own Carolyn Aiken from Aiken Home and Garden blog (one of my very favorites) mentioned she was featured in that very same magazine - I hadn't even finished reading to notice.

    It's FUN isn't it? This blog world has certainly made things meet up well - brings birds of a feather together for sure!

    Hugs.

    I just wanted to say I often read your blog but rarely comment. Our paths cross by reading your comments on other blogs. I enjoy your posts and comments :)

    Great post, Diana! I loved seeing Jane's blog featured in the magazine. How exciting to know one of the people in there!!! Well...through blogging. But you still have a connection to the people you meet here. Some become close blogging friends. It may sound funny, but it's true. You become friends "outside" of the blogging sphere. Like YOU my sweet friend.
    Smooches.

    I have looked for this magazine before but never seem to locate it-which is a good because I'd probably want to shop more. Have fun today. I'll think of you while I'm away; hopefully will have lots of incredible photos to share when I return.
    Hugs, Noreen

    It's always exciting to find the latest issue of Romantic Homes in my mail box! I was so happy to see Jane featured! And I am a big fan of Elyse's work, I bought her book, "Tinkered Treasures", and just love it! You are so sweet to give fellow bloggers the recognition they deserve:)
