Pinch me please! This DOES NOT seem real! I must be dreaming! I'm the cover story in the Home & Garden section of the San Jose Mercury News today! TODAY~Valentine's Day! The article is spread over two pages with lots of photos of my humble little apartment! Really, pinch me...this has to be a dream! 
I need to thank Julia (the fabulous writer) and Desiree (the fabulous photographer) from Lookiloos for this wonderful article! You can read the online article by clicking here. Some of you that have left comments on my blog have been quoted in the article!
I can't stop smiling!
Thank you--to all of you who faithfully read my blog because this wouldn't have happened without you!
If you found my blog through the article, please feel free to leave a comment below!
Update: Other papers are picking up the story too; The El Paso Times, TwinCities, and USA Today (Malaysia edition) I think these may just be online stories.
You SHOULD be smiling! What a wonderful thing! I couldn't see any of the pics in the article, I would just get a blank page. :-(

Cindy...IGNORE the comment left by anonymous!
ReplyDeleteSounds to me like a bit of jealousy and a wish he/she had the same talents.
I know I shouldn't be commenting on this negative persons remarks, but I know it can be hurtful, all the same.
You have many friends in blogland and that includes me.
Have a fabulous day!

Hi Cindy: I read the SJ Mercury News article today regarding your blog and headed over here to see your decorating pictures. I live in a rustic Lake Tahoe style home in the mountains south of San Jose and as much as I like the rustic theme, I dream of having my own space someday (I am single mom of five) that I can decorate in similar shabby chic style. I really enjoyed reading your blog and looking at pictures of your charming home - count me in as a new friend!
ReplyDeleteBest wishes!
