A Thrill, an Honor and a Giveaway

A Thrill!
My dream has come true! I've always dreamed of having one of my creations published and now that dream has come true!
Prims magazine has published a 10 page feature on TDIPT Mercantile. The talented Karen Brady Hammontree of Brady Bears Studio has written a lovely article about TDIPT Mercantile that accompanies the 10 pages of lovely creations by TDIPT Mercantile artists.
It is such an honor to be included with such a group of talented, nuturing and supportive artists. I was so pleased to see my creation featured on the same page as Suzanne Davis of Pear Tree Primitives. In addition to being an incredible painter, Suzanne was so encouraging in helping me to take the plunge into starting a blog and originally submitting my work to TDIPT. Thank you always & forever Suzanne!
This is the piece that I submitted and was published.

Ever (adverb) 1.at any time 2.increasingly 3.used as intensifier 4.always
Ever Thankful. That’s how I feel about my many blessings.Thanksgiving Day, one day, just isn’t enough. Instead it is a constant theme of my life ~ deeply embedded and heartfelt.
To celebrate this thrill and honor, it is time for my next giveaway...
The Prims Magazine Autumn 2011 issue (a $14.99 value). Then you can have the opportunty to read the entire feature on TDIPT Mercantile and see all of the lovely primitive folk art featured in this issue.
Simply post a comment on this post or send me an email at pgagliardi9@hotmail.com with TDIPT/PRIMS in the subject line. I will draw a winner on October 12th.
Thank you so much for letting me share my excitement!
Blessings, Patti Gagliardi

    Congrats!!! I love your items. I too have a little something in this issue...a small dove ornie. I had sent it in with other items quite a while ago. The other items were featured in last issue. So when my complimentery issue came this time, I was really excited too. Gives you a sense of great accomplishment I think. So glad you had your beautiful goodies featured!!
