country living
July 22nd, 2008
We are back from a very long and lovely vacation. My days were filled, but nothing really got done, which is just how it should be. Swim, eat, nap, swim, and watch cable. Perfect. There are so many beautiful parts of this huge country that I haven’t seen yet. The midwest is sorely underrated. Seriously, stop flying over us and come visit for once. I think it’ll be another week before I’m back up to speed. Do you always want to move where you vacation? No matter where it is you go? oh well. Home is isn’t too bad either.
And why is there a picture of Country Living magazine up there? Because holy crap I’m in it, that’s why. It’s a little sewing tip* passed down to me from a wonderfully crafty lady. The blurb is pretty small, so I forgive you if you can’t find it (unless you are related to me, then you have to go out and buy it and read the whole thing and tell all your friends too).
have a good week!
*edited to add the tip:
If a pin is a little dull, run it (carefully) through your hair. The tiny bit of oil it picks up will help it glide through your fabric with ease.
You can’t tempt me like that and then not pass on the tip!! Scan, woman, scan!
Congratulations! Please, share it with us!
but can you tell us the tip!? and congrats on being in there, no matter how big or small.
Okay, okay. I’ll buy it!
that is so cool!!!
eep how exciting tiny tip or not!
congrats
What a great tip, thanks for sharing :)
I did see that and thought… wow, she is being quoted by the big people! Bloggers are starting to rule the world!
congratulations. even the smallest notice is huge. you should be proud!
Oh, please, I can not get the american country living mag here in my island in Spain. Could you, please, post a pic of the page where you’re in in the magazine??? Please, please, I would love to see it!!!!
Congratulations! I am sure it may have been a great excitement to see yourself in the mag!!!!

I saw it Meg!! I’m a Country Living faithful, so I was thrilled to see a familiar name. I wanted to email you right then :-)
I sure could use a vacation like that! congrats on your tip in Country Living-how exciting.
Well done. Great tip
i found it! i did!
sounds like a lovely vacation. and i agree with you – most people don’t give the midwest a chance. it is so beautiful – they are all missing out.
I came across it, too, and was excited to see you and your blog (one of my very favorites) mentioned. I’m a fan of modern design, but I still love Country Living magazine.
Congrats.
Cool! This is one of my favorite magazines. Congratulations! :~)
Meg- congrats on the Country Living tip!! Good for you!!
Wow – that’s very exciting! Congratulations! (And what a great sounding vacation too. Exploring your own country is so rewarding, every square inch.)
Hey, I remember reading that tip in the magazine! :D
Cool!
I read that one! I am always surprised how cool that magazine is. They are right on with the vintage goodness.
Yeah for your tip!
