Thanks Gazillons to Yankee Magazine

Fini and I are featured in the new Yankee Magazine this summer. The new issue is just out and is a wonderful issue. The cover features an amazing Richard Schultz photograph of an island off of Penobscot Bay; it looks like many I sailed to as a kid in Casco Bay. I was known to take our sunfish out for a sail on a windy summer day and head out to one of the many islands. I'd drag my heavy sunfish down my friend Betsy's beach in Falmouth and off I'd go. Never a fear...and off I'd go. How many fond memories of my Maine childhood. Yes, I stayed mostly on the inside of Casco Bay!

And the full circle of life, the issue also features an article by Bill McKibben on  the once hardscrabbled  Vermont town of Hardwick and their famed cheese makers of Jasper Hill and High Mowing Seeds as well as mentioning the other highlights of the community.

From now on I maybe known as the Cat Lady instead of the Lampshade Lady. Fini my cat loves to wrap around your neck... The nice guy photographer from Yankee came to do the photo shoot of my lamp and shade project. We did the set up and then head shots of me:) He was just about to leave and silly of me, I showed him what Fini likes to do if he has a chance..... wrap around your neck. And he said great, let me shoot it.... famous last words. Oh, well, it is a pretty cute picture of Fini, pretty good for a scrappy stray that hasn't budged an inch since he showed up a year ago April. A real love bug.

P.S. Page 72-73 has a recipe for Rose-Petal Jam. I've been looking all over to buy it. Guess I will just have to start picking my Rosa Rugosa Petals, but they just don't get as big in Vermont's less than acid soil.

P.S.S. There is my Nighty Nightlight Project from my Lampshade Lady Book on Yankee's website. http://www.YankeeMagazine.com , check it out.
