It's just through this
garage door.. it is the answer to the
big mystery..
Can you guess what the
Woman's Day Magazine wanted to do an article on??
You guessed it...
The Potting Bench...wow We were so
excited when they emailed from New York and wanted to do this article...lol...sure...We were thinking it would probably be a tablescape..
.nnnoooooo...Just a little
background as to where the area is located..if you continue on through the
second gate that says
Fresh Flowers you will be in the backyard....
This is our main backyard and
we love it a lot...I have never really done a blog on the
backyard....I will do one this
summer when the hill is full of
flowers....
OK,
Back to the Potting Bench...I like to think of it as our little
flower shop, bistro
,art gallery, and garden tool storage area...it just makes you want to
smile doesn't it???
Is that Tina?? She just might be in the magazine too.....
She posed beautifully...of course...
This Josephina, she is the
makeup artist they sent for the shoot...She is so talented and
from Spain...
This is just some of her make up...wow.
.I need all this...More make up..
.my my myShe said these colors are from
Spain...
This is the wardrobe girl..
.love her shoes...you'll see below
So many choices..Soooo cute shoes...The photographer
David Tsay is from LA...what a
cutie...below is my neighbor Denise she was such a great helper keeping an eye on tina...you know how that is..
Tina loves to get into everything.....Thats me rushing to my shoot...lol
Wow...I look like I am
on a mission.......
Below...Denise is keeping a sharp eye this shoot....
I am working on my
camera like I am the
photographer.....
Hi David...
Isn't he a
hard worker...
Lots of people...
so much fun..so exciting...
Lots of
equipment.....
Wow...a lot of pictures.....chasing the sun...just like
Tina the cat...
Some of the
happy crew...
The article will be in the June issue of
Woman's Day Magazine........Thank you for stopping by and sharing this exciting day with us...

Your Potting Bench, and your Backyard looks like it stepped out of a Magazine!!!!!!

It looks like a slice of Heaven!!!!! I could make myself at Home with a BathingSuit, Beverage, and a Nibble of foods.....(Please hire me to come and BBQ for you...lol)

ReplyDeleteLisa
Wow! Congratulations. You do deserve it, though. I have loved everything that you post. Your potting area is like a magnet and draws you right in. Here in Ontario we are anxious for Spring and flowers. I would love a little spot like that. Give Tina a hug for me. Deb=^..^=x4

DeleteHi Phyllis! Thank you for stopping by, as now IHAVE FOUND YOUR BLOG! and can follow your talent and humor. I love your potting shed/flower port/Womans Day Mag fame!. Also adore Ms. Kitty and her friends. Love the toy tool handles on the drawers. The whimsey! See you soon!
ReplyDeleteHi Phyllis, Congrats on being in Womans Day! Your neighbor, Denise, is my Aunt. She sent me this to check out. Everything looks great and I'm glad you're enjoying it. I just can't believe how your backyard looks. How could you fit it all in? It's amazing what goes into a magazine shoot. Great to get a behind the scenes look! Enjoy! Duane Gendreaux, Lake Elsinore, CA.
ReplyDeletePhyllis, your potting stand is gorgeous and what an honor to have it shown in such a note worthy publication. I have been a fan of Woman's Day for many years. I would be excited to have that happen to me but would probably need meds to control the fear. Hee hee. I will look for the soon to be famous potting stand in the June issue.------------- Shannon
ReplyDeleteOh trust me...we almost needed meds...we were so anxious and nervous and tired from cleaning and trying to make sure the flowers looked healthy and dead leaves were picked up and sweeping and dusting...wow you would have thought the queen was coming...lol it was fun fun fun
DeleteOh, my Lord! I'm so excited for you! What an honor and they couldn't have picked a better project to showcase or a better projector (you)! I love your little potting bench and it is the cutest thing I've ever seen! I love Woman's Day and was buying it back in the early 70s when, I think, it was about 59 cents! :)
ReplyDeleteBe a sweetie,
shelia ;)
Wow, in every way, WOW. Please send wardrobe over to our place.
ReplyDeleteHi Phyllis!
ReplyDeleteWhen you shared that potting bench at my Bunny Hop a few months back... I just knew that it should be in a magazine! How is is that they actually found you? Do they have someone perusing blogland looking for great material?
I think they should have used your Easter tablescape (from two years ago) too... maybe next year. I will be looking forward to the June issue!
You are SO creative and I always love seeing what you are up too :)
xoxo Bunny Jean
I think they must because the lady from N>Y said she saw the potting bench on my blog...wow who knows whose looking at your blog for magazines...thanks for the nice comments..
DeleteCongratulations!!! What an exciting time you had! The potting bench is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI am so happy for you! Thank you for visiting me today. I am your new follower! And, by the way, I am from Spain also. Born and raised in Madrid. I can't wait to see the June issue of Woman's Day!
So nice to meet you!
Wow I would love to see some great pictures from Madrid...love to go there in the near future..

ReplyDeleteCONGRATULATIONS, Phyllis!!! That is just wonderful to have a real, live photo shoot of your cute little corner. I can't wait for the magazine issue to come out...I ♥ Women's Day!!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Gloria, above, that your Easter tablescape was a knock-out winner for all time! THAT should have been in a magazine, too.
I am SO happy that you're feeling better & back to blogging. I really missed you & popped in lots of times to check on you.
I look forward to seeing more of your great ideas.
Hugs,
Rett
