If only I could hold my sister's hands once more,
and love them and they me, I would.

The latest edition of Somerset Memories made its way to my home just before October 1st. This is one of the very special perks of being published, I must say, is that Stampington sends a complimentary copy right to your door!
I was blessed by Jana Holstein, managing editor of the magazine, as she contacted me last June to be a part of the next issue.
Cabinet Card Sisters
was born on a day I was thumbing through a large stack of my family cabinet cards. What I began to see, were cards which included two little sisters in each picture.
How could I not be mesmerized by eyes like these?
Or these?
I loved studying the details of their expressions. The dainty necklaces that hung around their necks. The types of lace on their socks and on their tiny dresses.
Even the bows in their hair intrigued me.
I wonder did they have the same dreams as me?
If you want to know more, you must get the magazine. It is there I tell a little more of my story. And, how to create the soldered charms I made using these
precious family cabinet cards.
As I blinked my eyes, and looked again, I realized we are all dreamers.
Some of us are just wide awake.

CONGRATULATIONS, Diane!! This looks like such a wonderful article and such a special necklace. You sure have a way of touching our hearts. I'm definitely looking for this the next time I go to B&N. I'm vicariously enjoying all of your successes this year. :-)
I, too, am a sister and so was captivated by your intro. Love the pictures and the magic you created with them. It is really a shame that we don't get any of these publications in Europe!
Beautiful post Diane, so touching. The pendants seem to be lovely, congrats for your Somerset publication. As Esther said, we unfortunately don't receive it in France. That's a pity !!!

Wow, great article Diane! congrats on being published AGAIN! Will look forward to seeing these beauties in person when I get to Texas. I have a passion for old photos, as you know, and love your theme. I'll look for the article on my local news stand, and feel proud of knowing you personally! Hugs.
How fabulous
My sister started her new job this past Monday wearing the little nest charm you made .. she said she loved it

Biggest congratulations to you Diane! How wonderful!! This looks absolutely beautiful ...I can't wait to see the magazine myself!!
Congratulations, Diane! I want to dash right out to buy this issue. You are so very fortunate to have such wonderful photos of your ancestors. Your necklaces are lovely and such a wonderful tribute to your family.

Congratulations on being published again!!!! I can't wait to get the magazine. How sweet the charms look. And how very sweet of you to donate the earrings to the auction! Cancer is a MONSTER!!!! We must slay it! Thank you for being so generous. Talk to you soon.
PS I am so very sad... our RV that we were looking at sold. :( Back to the drawing board.
Congratulations Diane!! I saw the spread and it looks fantastic!
