I'm Officially Published!


Hello, everyone!  I have some news that is one of the best Christmas presents I could ask for...I am a contributor in the new Winter issue of Creating Vintage Charm!!  It's been a dream of mine to have pictures of my home in a magazine, so this is literally a dream come true!


Along with pictures of my dining room, I also had the privilege of writing the accompanying article, so I am officially 'published'! :)  
When I started this little blog about 7 months ago, I never could've imagined the fantastic opportunities that would come my way!


I've been ordering and enjoying this magazine for awhile (you can only purchase it online) and it has become one of my favorites!  It's published quarterly by Sonia Crouse, who does a fantastic job, and every issue is always top notch.  I'm extremely honored to be a part of this wonderful publication!  If you've never read it, you're in for a BIG treat! You can order it on the Creating Vintage Charm website.


Thanks for stopping by, and letting me share my excitement!  Have a wonderful day! :)

    Congratulations! How totally exciting and wonderful! You totally deserve it! And I don't think I knew your last name was Taggart - Taggart was one of my boy names!! Didn't use if cause we had 3 girls but if we'd have had 3 boys i'm sure one of them would be Taggart!

    Send me your autograph NOW so I can say I knew you BEFORE HGTV snatched you up and made you famous. :) I'm so happy for you. While I have a children's book, what you accomplished is truly a dream of mine. {Are you able to share with me how you went about this? Did you simply mail in your work with a query or did you get sought out?} In any event, I LOVE your blog. I always try to read it when you post something new. AND the fact that you've gained over 600 followers in just 7 months is truly amazing. Despite all this, I perceive you as humble and kind hearted. I mean, you started following little ol' me back when I had about 50 followers - ha ha! So sweet, and I wanted to tell you how happy I am for you.

    Hugs from Oklahoma,
    Meredith
