Hey! I know I pop in and out, more out than in...so fraught with deadlines and all, but this is to beat the band news:
Vogue had contacted me last October about providing Fifties aprons for a photo shoot, and in the box, I included one of my designs, the Smoochie. About a month ago, Vogue emailed me that Smoochie had been photographed for the March issue, but I assumed it would appear the size of a postage stamp, one among many aprons or something like that.
So, I’m at a book signing in Tulsa, and I mentioned to the store owner that I’d been on the look out for the March Vogue but hadn’t yet seen it. She walked over to her magazine rack, plucked Vogue, handed me it to me, and I started flipping through the pages. I was about through the magazine, figuring the photo had been so tiny I'd missed it, and then I turned page 529 to page 530, and there it was - an entire page with a model wearing my Smoochie. ohmygod.

ok, I did a very bad thing today....while in the market check out line I noticed the Vogue magazine in the rack so being tacky, I thumbed through it while the clerk was ringing up the customer in front of me....EA your smoochie apron looks sooooo cute!
I am embarressed to admit, I took priviledges of thumbing through the magazine but did not buy it. My Bad!

I am so happy for you! I have your first book and love it. I have a lot of old aprons I sell in my shop and I seem to end up wearing one most days I am there. I love thinking about who owned it previously and what wonderful things she created while wearing it. I am looking forward to your newest book! Congrats on all your success.
And Grace, my dear . . . focus . . . looking at the apron, not the shoes! LOL!
Hugs & blessings,
Brenda
