Y’all are probably not familiar with D Magazine,

Not many people are. Unless you live within a 2.5 mile radius of downtown Dallas and are in need of a restaurant, or lawyer, or plastic surgeon.

So when Kathy from D Magazine emailed me a couple of weeks ago looking for some vintage Christmas ornaments for a photo shoot (She had Googled; “Vintage-Christmas-Ornaments-Dallas”…and I was the first name to pop up. Sounds pretty accurate) I thought “What the Heck”.

I’m always up for some unsolicited/unpaid exposure. That’s what bloggers are for. Am I right? Free content for magazines.

See how she titled the piece “Handled with Care”?

(I’m whispering this part) That’s our little inside joke……because, she didn’t.

It seems that our photographer, Chris, is an amateur juggler. Emphasis on the amateur.

He broke one of the ornaments that I personally hand delivered to their office in a plastic tub.

Some kind of monkey house D Magazine has going on there.

At least he took a mediocre picture to preserve my memories.

The memories I individually wrap in bubble wrap every January.

Lesson learned…
