HOME FALLCelebrate 2012 MAGAZINE FROM THE EDITOR-IN-CHIEF A Warm Welcome to Celebrate Home Magazine The door is open. Come in and turn the pages. Welcome to Celebrate Home Magazine, where we are passionate about all things home. No matter the size, style, location, temporary or permanent, our homes are intrinsic to our well-being. Don’t you feel that if your home is a welcom- ing place, no matter if you’re single or a part of a large family, you can go out and conquer the world? Or, at least just make it through the work or school day? It could be something as simple as painting a wall your favorite color, or a special recipe your family counts on at holidays. It’s the ordinary things, made extraordinary, that make our homes special. Who are we and why are we publishing this magazine? We are the girls next door, Barbara and Cindy, and you know us. Cindy Dyer, art director and photographer and I have teamed up to bring you Celebrate Home Magazine where ordinary people are doing extraordinary things. If you lack confidence, we hope to inspire you. No matter your budget, your skills or the size of your space, we’ll enthusiastically share experiences of those who nurture the space they call home. Wait until you meet some of our contributors in this first issue. They are people just like you and me, doing what we love in the context of home, family and hospitality. For example, look at the photos of the mouth-watering food. No fake food was used, no glue, no props. It’s all real food made in our real test kitchen and photographed by Cindy. And, at the end of the shoot, we invited real folks to eat up the real food. We present you recipes for delicious and lovely food you can make at home. Check out our Dish Towel Diva and learn how this collector started gathering unlikely items to make her kitchen chores less daunting. Or, meet the Lady of the Lake and see how she takes family treasures and turns a lake house retreat into a home with character (and characters). Let’s inspire each other! We want to hear about the place you call home and get to know your families. Celebrate Home Magazine is about family, food, entertaining, gardens, art, crafts, hobbies, personal expression, pets, decorating, communities and neighborhoods The time has come for a magazine like this—highlighting ordinary people doing extraordinary things. Please write—we would love to hear from you.
