Folk Magazine Review and Giveaway::

      The buzz around the net these days is Folk magazine. If you haven't heard about this one of a kind lifestyle mags you are in for a real treat. Here's my thoughts.

      Recently, I had the pleasure of previewing the completed Summer 2012 issue from front to back in it's entirety. Folk's concept focuses on sharing the American story. It's like a freshly baked apple pie right out of the oven. From cover to cover it's full with inspiration. Nothing, but great eye candy for the soul and informative dialogue. Most of all, it's unique layout for me was a plus. I enjoy opening a magazine and saying to myself, " I want to look at that magazine again." That's just what I did. Well, that doesn't happen too often.
     In fact, Folk magazine is committed to supporting small business throughout the US. With features and interviews with American businesses, artisans and entrepreneurs. That's what impresses me most. A homegrown magazine all about people and getting the word out about their products is a great thing. I just admire all that support that Folk magazine has to share with it's readers.
    Folk magazine indeed is my favorite new magazine. I'm sure it will be your new favorite read too :)
    Here's some links I thought you would like to have on hand.

Fleamarket Finds::

       Hubby and I went to the flea yesterday morning. I couldn't miss opening day. Here's some loot :)

        When, all was said and done. I meet this couple who made these great shadow boxes out of old bottles collected from the Long Island Sound. They told me they are scuba divers and dive to to great lengths to find unique bottles and then some. Very cool I thought. I so, enjoy hearing stories like this one.
        Did you find any Flea market finds this weekend?

Picnik::

                      Good morning! Thank you for commenting on my banner. Some of you wanted to know how it was made. I use picnik to make banners, collage and watermarks. It's a fun site. No need to subscribe, just enter site. Read info and hit OK. To make a banner: go to make a Collage, upload photos. When done add Textures, then Text. Like your finished work? Hit Save. I recommend exploring the site first. Only problem is that picnik will be closing in April sometime. Use it while it lasts. I'm sure I'll be seeing some beautiful collages out there soon :)
                It's been a jam packed weekend! On my way to the flea this morning. Enjoy your Sunday.
