The photos of my home that Fifi and Mark took a while back were split up between Romantic Country (last fall, I think) and Country Sampler Homes Tour 2015.
I am beyond pleased with the photos, the colors are printed exactly as they look in real life, and they are nice and big, with a few full page ones.
If you ever get a chance to work with the people at Country Sampler, please go for it, they are so pleasant, helpful, and generous! Quite often, if your home is photographed, you don't even know when to expect seeing the issue it appears in, and have to check the magazine stands each month to see if the issue is out. And you don't get a free copy of some.
Country Sampler didn't do that. Not only did they send an issue and a letter to me to let me know that the magazine will be on stands soon, they also sent a second package full of magazines for me to share.
Did I mention how pleased I was with the whole experience? And the spread itself?
I'll keep a couple of issues for my own collection, send one to Guncle Randy, and then will have a giveaway at Birdsong 5, another on Facebook, plus one here on my blog.
If you'd like a chance to win, you can "like" and leave a comment on this post, on my personal FB page or "like" my Karla's Cottage FB page. And leave a comment on this blog post.
That is three ways to win one, or heck, come to Birdsong 5, I'll be giving one away there too.
I’ve liked you everywhere♡
These are beautiful pictures.
Everything looks beautiful !
your house is beautiful as always! I’d love to win a copy!
Well, of course I’d like to enter to win — but even more I’m just thrilled that you are so pleased with the finished piece. The photos look spectacular — but then they had a good canvas to work with!
So thrilled for you to be featured again in a magazine!! Keeping my fingers crossed for a copy! 😉
I’d love a chance to see more of your beautiful home!!
Oh my, I always love looking at pictures of your home and I would love to win a copy of the magazine. Thanks so much for the chance to win!
Love love love. ..clicking my heels together. ..there’s no place like Karla’s!
Wow to be featured in a magazine is a dream come true….. Your home is so enchanting like a fairy tale…..sigh one day.
How would I not want to win a copy, some day would love to come to Birdsong & see it in person!
👏
Thanks, Barb!
Thanks, Myrna. Every time I do an article, I figure it will be the last one. If this one is, then, Im going out on a happy note!
You and your beautiful home are so deserving of all this recognition! The two times I’ve had the pleasure of being there I wanted to just look, look and look at all the amazing little displays and your wonderful decorating. I’d be thrilled to have a copy of the magazine.
Your home is beautiful so happy for you….thanks for sharing…Pat H
Oh I just LOVE it. Your home is one of the most amazing I’ve ever seen!!! And, I think I’ve liked you everywhere too!! 🙂

Terri, that is such a nice thing to say, thank you. Sometimes I feel like Ive piled up too much, cheap garage sale crap around my house. Its nice to hear from friends who have been here that that it doesnt look junky.
so pretty
Have been a follower of yours for a long time and would really enjoy winning a copy of the magazine featuring your home. Thanks for a chance to win somethin awesome from you, I appreciate it.
Your home is so beautiful! Thanks for the giveaway.
Hi Karla, The photo’s are gorgeous! Love seeing your beautiful home. Have a great week.
I know I’ve said this before, but I think you could start tours of your place. LOL Congratulations, I can only imagine all the real work that goes into your gorgeous living space. As for having Country Sampler in? I would love it….they might run screaming however. Keep smiling and creating thanks for the chance to win a lovely magazine.
I guess Birdsong is kind of a tour of my home. Usually, I have house guests, so I cant show the guest rooms, but mostly people can wander around the yard and house as they please, that is kind of nice. It is a lot of work to pull a home together with a bunch of handmade or hand done elements, so it feels good to see someone look around at what Ive done!!
Your home always looks lovely here on your blog, and in the magazine articles. I’d enjoy winning a copy of the Country Sampler. Hopefully I’ll be able to attend Birdsong sometime in the future, and see your home and studio in person.
I would love to win a copy of the magazine, but think I’d also like a tour! Love your style!!
Well deserved, I love your place! Michelle
How wonderful. Your home has always been displayed so beautifully. I keep telling myself one of these days I am going to make it to Birdsong.
There are still openings for this year, Catie!
Karla…I love the wallpaper on the risers of your stairs…gorgeous idea. The giveaway looks wonderful. Patty in Kansas
Thanks, Patty! I did that years ago, and lately have been contemplating a Chang. But then, I liked it so much in the magazine photos, that I decided to keep it.
