An Easter Surprise

Yesterday I received an Easter surprise. A Belle Armoire magazine came in the mail, which in itself is surprising since I don't have a subscription. It definitely had my name on it, though, so I opened it up to the page of contents to see what was in that issue, and what did I spy? There in the upper left corner of the table of contents was a photo of my Jane Austen ensemble, which I'd titled "A Walk with Catherine Morland." (You can see photos of it on my Jane Austen Project post.) With building excitement I flipped to the article, and there was a lovely full-page photo of my ensemble, complete with a tree-colored background and leaves drifting across the bottom. I had no idea my outfit had been chosen, so it was quite the surprise - probably even better than a chocolate Easter bunny. I am grateful to have been so honored by the Belle Armoire team. If you would like to see the photos, the article is in the May/June issue of Belle Armoire, which should be in stores soon. What a great Easter present! Hope you have a lovely Easter, too.
