Hello, my friends. I want to share some pretty exciting news with you. My blog has been featured in the September issue of Romantic Homes magazine!
I am honored to be one of 5 blogs featured in the Setting Your Sites section.
Be still my heart! I am so thrilled about this! I even get a photo credit. My blog was started a little over two years ago and since that first post, it has been nothing but a joy in every way. I have met so many wonderful people, learned so much from other bloggers, and have stretched my wings in oh-so-many ways.
I don’t think the magazine is on the stands yet – but it sure helps to have a friend who owns a store that carries Romantic Homes. My dear friend Lori, of Vignettes, emailed me as soon as she received her issues and even scanned the photos for me! Then she went to the post office and mailed me a copy. Thank you, Lori! By the way, the ad for Vignette’s 15th Anniversary Party in October is in this issue, too. Darn it, I won’t be able to be there – but some of you might be able to go. If you can, please attend – Lori throws a fabulous party!
Thank you, Romantic Homes.
Claudia..CONGRATULATIONS !!!

Hi Claudia,
So here I come {running to tell you} about what I just saw in Romantic Homes and I find your post. :0)
I subscribe to Romantic Homes so I think I must get my issue a bit sooner than it hits the magazine stands.
I’ve been busy this weekend and this afternoon I reached for my September issue that arrived yesterday to take a peek.
I squealed like a little girl when I saw you and your sweet blog in the Setting Your Sites section. It’s so exciting whenever I run across one of my sweet blog neighbors being published. ♥
Let’s see…20 copies would be a good start! :0)
Happy Day!
Stephanie ♥

Congratulations, Claudia! Your feature in Romantic Homes is so well deserved. Your blog is one of my most favorites– and a “must read”, even when I’m tight on time! In fact, I just started checking out my bloglist after being gone all week– and yours was the first one I wanted to read!
