Well, as most of you know, this is the last issue of Country Home magazine. It is also the first (and subsequently the last) issue that I was able to contribute a project to. I had hoped to continue to make contributions for the cool junk section.
These are some candleholders I make from pepper grinders. Nothing earth shattering, but something I came up with because I rarely find baulesters to use for candleholders. The ones pictured are ones I sent them, they added the tacks and leafing (which I really like). Country Home found me via my blog (yea for blogging!). Everyone I talked to and worked with was very sweet, especially Kelly. I just hope that they were able to find other positions in the magazine world. So if you get a chance--check it out.
That's great that you were featured. What a great accomplishment! Congratulations.
ReplyDeleteThat is a bummer, I really like that magazine.
So cool!! I now know ( well sort of...well maybe not really:-)) a celebrity! Now you may ask what makes you a celebrity? You are in what used to be my favorite magazine of course!

That is such a cool idea! I love it. And, that's a thrill to be featured!
ReplyDeleteI'm SO sad Country Home is done. It's so disappointing, it was such a great magazine--one of my favorites!

ReplyDeletei was sooo hoping someone or something would change their minds and the editions would continue.... its definitely bittersweet to see it go.
OH! Now, I can't wait to get my hands on mine. I'm sorry for you not having more opportunity to contribute. The candle holders look great. Good one! ~Mindy
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog. It is nice to meet you. I am going to miss "Country Home", it was one of my favorites. I may have contributed to their demise. I think of reading all my favorite blogs as the magazines I read! There are so many ideas in "blogland". There just wasn't enough time to read everything.

Congrats on the feature! I was disappointed, too, when I heard that they would no longer be publishing.
ReplyDeleteTHAT is so cool you were in the magazine, but bites that this is the last issue! Several magazines I had subscriptions to have ceased publications this year. Very disappointing!

I'm sorry to see this magazine stop. It was one of my favorites! I like the candle holders that you made. Very nice.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on being featured! It's a shame they are going out.... I loved that magazine!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful project! I would be thrilled to be included in a printed publication! Congrats to you!
ReplyDeleteI'll be looking to see your idea in my last Country Home.
Take care,
Candy
Great Project! I too am sad about the fate of Country Home. There is nothing better than sitting in my morning chair with a cup of coffee and a good magazine. A laptop just doesn't feel the same. I am sure you will have other opportunities. Your creativity won't go unnoticed!
ReplyDeletePeace,

Congrats. What a beautiful spread that showcases your work.
ReplyDeleteYes, it's depressing the Country Home Magazine is done publishing! But, how cool for you to be published - very thrilling! Take care! Andrea
ReplyDeleteWow, how cool that your project got in the magazine! I hope you can find another magazine or other "outlet" to showcase your projects.
ReplyDeleteWow how cool is that! Congrats...but yes I am sad that the mag is going bye bye. Just about all my faves are gone but country living. cherry
ReplyDeleteGood morning Becca Thanks for stopping by my blog...i think i'm almost over being sick...back to work yesterday. thanks for the get better wishes. Love your candleholder project...I haven't received my last issue yet...will look for you in there! I'm going to miss that magazine, for sure. *elaine*
ReplyDeleteHow cool! I love that magazine, congrats for being in it. I'll miss that one so much!
ReplyDeleteI will miss Country Home, this is the 2nd magazine I have subscribed to that has gone. Both the magazines are substituting other magazines but the others have more recipes less home decor. I love magazines but I guess they will be becoming rare, sad.
ReplyDeleteWhat a neat opportunity for you!! How awesome to see your creations!! I am so sorry the magazine is no long going to be available.
ReplyDeleteWhat a clever idea to you the pepper shakers! I never would have thought. Gosh I see those a whole lot more at thrift stores, then even a glimpse of a cute table leg or post. :o) Now I really need to keep my eyes open on my trips thrifting! :o)
