The May issue of Country Living just hit the newsstands. It is the most exciting issue of any magazine I've ever read... can you guess why? Page 42 is very special to me! Do you recognize that cork board? Or perhaps the pincushion? I was asked to contribute some of my burlap products for their round-up of feed sack items. Can you believe it? I certainly can't, and I've known about it for over three months!
I was thrilled then, but seeing it in print has put me on a cloud. Never in a million years did I think one year ago that I would be on this exciting ride today. I'm so grateful you're all here sharing it with me. It makes it that much more special. So I'm off to set some fireworks... I mean pour myself a glass of wine and read my magazine! I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

ReplyDeleteCONGRATS!!! that is fantastic. Will have to run and pick it up tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteTake care,
Tania
that is so exciting maya! hope you celebrate with a good glass of red. can't wait to see you in print!
ReplyDeleteI am so happy for you. The only thing more perfect would have been if my stone and your board had been in the same issue. My rock star and your star*board , together, imagine that. I think a few stars in the sky would implode if that happened. I just realized staring at your board that it has maya written on it. How utterly perfect is that.
ReplyDeleteWow! That's amazing, I'll have to keep my eyes open for a copy. Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteFabulous Miss Maya! I can't wait to go pick up my own copy and sneak a peek...
ReplyDeleteThat is awesome. I'm so pleased for you!
ReplyDeleteMaya I am so excited for you, and with you! I will be looking for this magazine when we go in for shopping this week. And what Margie noticed... cafe Maya on the board! Ah! How amazing! That would be a cafe I would certainly visit. xo
ReplyDeleteI've subscribed to this magazine for many years. Now I know why...they have very good taste!!
ReplyDeleteSOOOO exciting. Can't wait to get mine in the mail.
Super congrats! The first time my journals were in a magazine, I didn't know and saw them when I was getting a pedicure. I yelped in excitement and the poor lady who was doing my nails thought she had cut me. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm so excited for you in so many ways, Maya. Your coffee sack repurposing is so much what Country Living should be about: caring for your family and the planet by making the most of the materials at hand. I'm so glad that the design world is recognizing your talent and ingenuity, and all the love that you put into your work! Enjoy the celebration! I'm sure there will be more to come!
ReplyDeleteThis is wonderful news! You have worked so hard to put forth a beautiful, sustainable ethic. Congratulations!

I had to check what time you posted this--I pictured you having that glass of wine as I drink my morning coffee reviewing your blog! Congratulations! This is soooo exciting! You are,as always, an inspiration to me, and now you can inspire an even wider range of people.
ReplyDeleteOn a side note: I finally found freezer paper last night, and it was actually semi-in my neighborhood, so now I can get it whenever I want. Off I go a-stenciling...
i love your work! i saw some burlap at joann's last week and was oh so very tempted to buy some. actually, maybe i will go there later today... when sewing with burlap or canvas do i need a different needle?
ReplyDeletecongrats on being in the magazine and have a happy weekend!
Congratulations, Maya!!
ReplyDeleteCheers - if you haven't toasted on that one yet!
Congrats!
ReplyDeletecongrats!! that is really awesome!
ReplyDeleteYou totally deserve this, well done!
ReplyDeleteyay!!!
ReplyDeleteYAY! Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteI've been meaning to tell you for a couple of months that our new local coffee shop has a menu board made with a large coffee sack. They've bordered it with a ~4" border of coffee beans (glued on and shellacked), and I think of you every time I go in there.
That's fantastic! It doesn't surprise me at all that they would ask you with all the wonderful things you make.
ReplyDeleteI subscribe to this and can't wait to get my copy. Congrats!
ReplyDeleteWOOO-HOOO! Congratulations, that is fantastic!!!
ReplyDeleteYay! Congratulations. I can't wait to get the mag and see your stuff.
ReplyDeleteCongrats!! I just love that more and more of the bigger mags are featuring indie crafters and artists.
ReplyDeleteI just found your blog and it is very inspiring! I am glad I found it!

CONGRATULATIONS Maya!!!! The spread looks amazing, and I have a feeling all of your projects inspired the editors (and Pottery Barn) to take note of the beauty of burlap!
ReplyDeleteyour blog is VERY inspiring!! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteHi, I'm a quiet reader of your blog!I love the things you've made!
ReplyDeleteThe cork board was the first thing I saw and since then I followed you.You have such great ideas...simple but so lovely, I like your style and you really deserved it to be in a magazine like that!
Greetings from Holland!
Heidi
Wow! Wow! Yes, having you all here makes it so much sweeter. I can't thank you enough for your loving comments!

ReplyDeleteI saw that. Congrats, I'm so happy for you.
ReplyDeleteWOOOO HOOOOOOOOO! yay maya! congratulations. deserved.
ReplyDeleteMaya...I got the issue last week, saw the feature and said to myself, "They need to meet Maya." Then, I read the small print and realized that, in fact, they had already met you. I was so excited and sat in my living room squealing with delight. So excited for you--it was an amazing feature and I'm drooling over the cork board. Congrats!
ReplyDeleteCongrats! Wow! I could never imagine that. I'm still working on coming up with an original line of products for my shop. I love creating and am excited to be taking Holly Becker's (decor8) blogging e-course.
