I Got Published!

I got some great news last week in an email from "Belle Armoire" magazine! They are publishing some of my work in the Jan/Feb issue! I had submitted 2 crazy quilt purses and a Marie Antoinette cuff bracelet in July '09, since they prefer to do their own photos for the mag. Not sure which one(s) will make it in the magazine, but I sure am excited! My daughter has been urging me to do this for awhile now, so I finally took the big step. I mentioned my Etsy shop and my website in my blurp about the 3 items, so am hoping it will give me some good advertisement. Just wanted to share my good news!

Happy beading!

Thanks so much - was hoping to reach more viewers and advertise my Etsy shop more - www.nardiesarttowear.etsy.com and my website - www.nardieswearableart.com where I have more of the crazy quilt purses. I love designing and making these purses, but they seem to appeal more to a certain group of ladies who like the victorian look, and love that "fussy" look. But - I have a friend who wears her cq purse with jeans and a denim jacket - she collects vintage rhinestone pins and puts those on her jacket and loves the look. I also love the Belle Armoire magazine and have been reading it for several years.
Keep on Beading!

How awesome is that? Congratulations......very excited for you. I have never seen the Belle Armoire magazine either so I will be looking for it. Hope it generates a lot of business for you.

Thanks so much! I usually see "Belle Armoire" magazine in the larger bookstores like Barnes & Noble and Borders. I've been getting the magazine for several years - love looking at all the wearable art that the readers create - from clothing items to purses to you name it. I believe I have also seen it at some of the fabric stores like JoAnn's and Hancock's.
Happy creating!

Congratulations, Lynn!!!! If they publish your Etsy site URL, you better get busy creating. You'll probably get orders out the kazoo! Happy Beading and Merry Christmas!

Hi SmurphTX -
Saw your lovely "Magic Carpet" bracelets - you did a great job on them! Those are fun to make - my daughter and I have each made some. However, they are very time consuming to make.
Keep on Beading & Merry Christmas!

Got my complimentary issue of Belle Armoire magazine, the Jan/Feb issue. My two crazy quilt purses are on pg 74, with an upclose pic on pg 75 - then a paragraph about them on pg 77. Was a bit disappointed they did not include my email address, nor my web site, nor my Etsy shop. However, I see where others in the gallery pics do not have that info given either - just name, city, state. But anyway, I am still happy to have been published! They did not include my Marie Antoinette cuff bracelet in this issue, but I was hoping.
Happy beading!
