Thank you, Jo Packham!

When
first
started my
blog
I admitted
to
being
hopelessly
addicted 
to
magazines

I
have
been getting
better
       really...
well..
a little better


there
are
a few
magazines

though

that
I am unable
to walk
past
or
not
order
on
Amazon

Where Women Create
Where Women Cook
Where Women Create - business

publications
created
by
Jo Packham

and
I still
have
each
and every
magazine
here a just a few

and
each and every 
magazine
has 
 continued
to
inspire
me


always 
love
Jo's

and
I
inhale
the
 stories
about
all the
passionate
artists
cooks
bakers
crafters
designers
and
business folk
that
the 
publications 
highlight and feature

Thanks
to
Judy Watkins
and 
I
got
to meet
Jo Packham

and
she
stayed
with us
at
Petit Soleil
for the
Remnants of the Past weekend
that's Jo at Petit!!!!

I mean..

to me
Jo Packham
is a
ROCK STAR!


Needless
to
say
I was beyond 
flattered
when
she
asked
us
about
featuring
Petit Soleil
in
Where Women Create- Business
as
a
husband and wife team
in
 business

awesome, right?



Thank you
Jo Packham
for
recognizing
our
passion


Petit Soleil





AND
thank you
for
your
gorgeous 
photography....
       and endless support


to 
read
about
the 
genesis
of

and the
ins
outs

and
fun
