Hello my friends!

*

Welcome to the 125th run of "Sunday Favorites"
*
I hope that you're having a wonderful weekend!  I have been busy planning for Christmas!  I know...I know...we haven't even celebrated Thanksgiving yet!  Hehe!  Honey and I are making a trip to the big city this weekend.  Hobby Lobby is on my list of places to go!  Yeeehawwww!  I LOVE HOBBY LOBBY!  I can't wait to see what they have out for Christmas this year.
*
Today for Sunday Favorites, I thought I would share one of my "all time" favorite tablescapes.  It's called..."An Autumn Evening by Candlelight"...originally posted November 17, 2010. 
*
I had some pretty exciting news to share in that post.  This tablescape was featured in Belle Inspiration magazine.  It's the first time that I have ever had anything of mine published.  Since then, I have had the pleasure of doing a second article and photo shoot.  And...I will be having a new article and photo shoot in Belle Inspiration's 2011 Nov./Dec. Holiday issue.  Again, I am sitting on pins and needles!  I can hardly wait for this issue to come out!  Just a little note about Belle Inspiration.  This fabulous magazine was founded in September, 2010.  It is an online publication, however Belle has gone into print now.  Their first printed issue came out last month.  It is a fabulous publication that covers a multitude of topics...such as...interior design, fashion, lifestyle, etc.  The magazine is based out of Paris, France but it is in English.  I have included a link to their site at the end of this post.  It is one publication that you will want to get...believe me!!!
*
 Well my friends...I'm looking forward to seeing your Sunday Favorites posts this week and visiting with you!  You can sign up for the party at the end of this post!

*

Have a super Sunday!

Hello my friends...I hope you're having a fabulous day!
*
I am sooo very excited! As many of you know, we have a brand new, online E-Magazine called...Belle Inspiration! This fabulous French publication is the brain-child of our very own Mimi Bleu of Bonjour Romance blog. Mimi and her team of talented editors has successfully created one of the most beautiful magazines ever!!! Belle Inspiration covers a multitude of topics...including articles on interior design, fashion, art, travel, cooking, etc. The very first...premier edition...of Belle Inspiration came out on September 15th. Ohhh my...what "eye candy"! I spent several days just devouring each and every article! A few of our favorite bloggers have feature articles in the premier issue...Rhonda of Blue Creek Home blog and Yvonne of StoneGable blog...to name just a few. Ohhhh...and these ladies are sooo talented!!!

My BIG news...I have an article in the Holiday issue! Okay...can you hear me squealing and doing my "happy dance"? Hehe! Seriously, I feel so very honored that I was asked to be a part of Belle Inspiration! It's really a "dream come true" for me! Thank you, Belle Inspiration!!!

***Just a little note: Sunday Favorites Criteria***

*

When I first started the Sunday Favorites meme, my initial thought was to offer a solution for getting a post out on the weekend without having to spend alot of time doing so...weekends are just a busy time for most of us! Copying and pasting a previous post is so quick and easy. Not only is this a quick and easy solution to the busy weekends, but it's also an opportunity to dig back into our blog archives and share a favorite "past" post once again! Many of us spend alot of time and effort creating a post and it just seems a shame that it is viewed only once and then forgotten about!

*

I would like to reiterate that Sunday Favorites is a meme about sharing or revisiting a post from the PAST!  Please do not add a freshly published post to the Sunday Favorites party...it is NOT what this party is about.

*

Thank you!!!
