Today in the mail I received my copy of the August issue of Dollshouses and Miniature Scene, where my very own Merriman Park was featured on pages 50-52. I had to LOL when I read the article, which I pretty much wrote myself. It's a British publication, so they "corrected" my spelling of color to colour, etc: CLASS. I'm afraid in the article I sound rather scarily like Jacqueline Kennedy giving a tour of the White House.
Actually, I'm a little more like her cousin: famous recluse, Edith Bouvier Beale of Grey Gardens lore.
The magazine asked me to write some more articles, so stay tuned, darlings! In the meantime, here's a music video starringLi'l Edie and Madge to entertain you whilst you peck out your comments:
White pumps are such a summer staple: girls, take note.
Hi John I've said it before and I'll say it again. Congratulations!! Well deserved recognition for you here in the UK. Lovely pictures and such an enjoyable read...loved it. All the best Vivian
Hey John, Congratz wih the article. Uhm... thnx to the Jackie O reference I am now picturing you in that pink Jackie O suit+hat giving your tour of Merriman Park ;p
Hi John, So glad you got there in the end. Luicie said you were doing more - I look forward to seeing them. My new one is a 1930s suburban set in 1948 (my childhood) Marilyn
Your followers are not surprised...yet Congratulations are in order! Jackie O et al eh? LOL Funny about the pumps. For me it is white sandals. I mentioned my need for them to my daughter who promptly commented she had no such need. Tsk...the young. SMH
Congratulations (again) on being published, John! You're famous now.....because of the use and your knowledge of the English language ;)! Enjoy! I had to laugh about the videos LOL ;)! Hugs, Ilona
Congratulations on the article John! Merriman Park is such a beautiful house... I am not surprised it is published again!!! I don't do white shoes... silver with spangles maybe... but never white!
I bought the magazine a few days ago, and it was great to see your Merrimen Park house inside! I need to go out and buy another copy now as I gave my original copy to Fi, who I met on Monday, while she was in the UK on holiday!
It still looks amazing! I loved you handy hints!! Just like a real life Prudence Pintuck!
Dear John, Congratulations on your success! And I happen to think Edie Beale would have been a lot better company than Jackie O. I look forward to seeing your future projects. Philip
Hello john, I always knew you had a Kennedy woman buried deep inside you! I'm glad she is coming out! Congratulations on the article and also congratulations on being asked to write more. I love reading your blog, you have such a wonderful style that it is only fit you should be in print! Now all you need is the Chanel suit and you're good to go ! Big hug, Honey badger!
Congrats on being in the Aug issue, I can see you giving a tour of the Fabulous Merriman Park (just be a little more animated than Jackie was and you'll be fine) use Proper English and Project into the audience (your voice dear)
Congratulations John! Merriman Park looks amazing, and I can't wait to read your article. Sorry it took me so long to comment--I was waiting for a good time to watch the videos. What fun, and the music is fantastic! More articles? But of course! xo Jennifer
Hey John sorry if you get this twice, I left a comment and found it in my Outlook junk mail folder as bouncing back from YOUR YAHOO email!! HUH?????????? So here it is again: Congratulations on the article! Merriman Park is well deserving of the publicity---
John, Linda Master is trying to leave you a comment but she keeps getting it returned to her via an EMAIL. How odd what the heck it going on with that???? I don't even get where the connection is.
