Lately, many blogging friends have been asking me what I know about the new magazine, Creating Vintage Charm. Here goes, but please bear with me because I am using some kind of new editing tool on Blogger which is very confusing; plus I am composing this post on my could-it-be-any-slower? iMac ...
Creating Vintage Charm is the inspired and ambitious project of Sonia Crouse. You may already know the multi-talented Sonia from her blog, Vintage Rose Designs. Somehow in between raising two young children and a baby, Sonia has managed to produce this beautiful magazine. {I am thinking that many espressos may be involved}
When Sonia asked if I would like to contribute an article I happily agreed and because I love to write, I also offered to help with editing. Sonia graciously gave me an editor credit, and an advance copy, but the most fun was that she liked and accepted many of my suggestions, like my playful subtitle for her own tutorial on crafting beautiful shoes: Turn worn shoes into objets d'art worthy of any fête. (Get it!? I'm goofy for the word-play.)
For my own article, I attempted to trace my path of shifting from being a Crate & Barrel to a Cabbages & Roses kind of girl.
Creating Vintage Charm is now available for purchase here.
Sonia is also hosting a launch party on September 25.

I mean, you can never have too many magazines.
