Peachy the Magazine October/November 2013 | Page 5

TOP: Charlotte classes on gardening, I couldn’t help but think that Peachy would love this. Max Lucite clutch BOTTOM: Gardenuity Grow Bags include everything you need from soil to seeds. I also came across the most amazing clutches designed by Michelle Lockhart on her new label Charlotte Max. Inspired by her grandmother’s collection of Lucite purses, Michelle creates gorgeous Lucite clutches embellished with semi-precious stones and vintage pieces. As fate would have it by bringing two girls together honoring their grandmothers’ style, Michelle has said yes to our first artisan collaboration and is going to design a Lucite clutch that we will name “The Peachy” and sell through the magazine and website. With much gratitude, I give special thanks to my incredibly talented, creative and organized cousin Cara Gravely French. She was invaluable in helping me pull this issue together. In addition, many thanks to our amazing graphic designer and technology guru, Lisa Weedman Newell. Without her, the magazine would not get published each month. Enjoy and cheers to more abundant living! Blair Duwe Farris Publisher and Editor in Chief From a reader… Peachy is bliss! Well done and congrats!
