I subscribe to *several* magazines...somewhere between 15 to 20. A good portion of that is for inspiration for my job, but plenty of it is also inspiration for little projects and things like that.
It isn't possible to keep all of my 'good' magazines around, so once I finish one, I cut out the portions that I like and keep them.
I was just going through some of my cut pages and found an old Mary Engelbreit magazine article about Robin Brown and her business, Magnolia Pearl, based in Texas. Robin makes super-elaborate Victorian-style clothes, purses, and backpacks. The article quotes her as saying that she's "piled-on pearls, two strands minimum" since she was six years old. My kind of person! Her things are absolutely beautiful, and I'd really like to use some of her items as inspiration for some of the projects I'd like to make as gifts.
When the article asked Robin about her inspiration, it was the work of Carol Hicks Bolton, who designs for the Homestead Company line of furniture. Take a look - aren't they great?! The store is located in Fredericksburg, Texas - about 75 miles west of Austin. Perfect for when I re-do my bedroom.......
