I found a wonderful sneak peak/book review on Decor 8.  I’m so excited for Cheap Chic to come out…talking about a Frugal Style girl’s kind of read!

Here’s what Holly at Decor 8 had to say about the book:

If you loved Flea Market Style then I highly suggest Cheap Chic. It is soft bound, so it’s easy to toss in your work bag and flip through during your commute or in a cafe during lunch.

I absolutely adore getting my new Martha Stewart magazine in the mail.  I drool over all of the wonderfully styled photos and the neat little projects.  The February edition featured these wonderful shadowboxes by Darcy Miller.  Her “day job” is with Martha Stewart Living as the Senior Vice President and the Wedding Editorial Director.  Talk about a busy lady!  Who would have thought she has the time to make such adorable and charming little “Scrapboxes?”  Check out her work at Martha Stewart.com or pick up this month’s magazine.
