The solar eclipse has been known to evoke an ethereal, almost magical, vibe for folks around the world. Pick up some of your own stellar accessories with great finds throughout this magazine! I would also like to welcome back our Featured Designer, Nancy Clark of Nancys Fancys Jewelry & Finds! Nancy has a true love of nature.

Meet Our Designers! Where: Charlotte, NC, USA Where to Buy: www.facebook.com/AdorableDeeSignsByDenise/ When Denise Ciccone couldn't find the perfect accent piece for her design clients, she started making her own and thus, the latest addition to her handmade business was born. The process of creating the pillows begins with a design idea and is then screen printed by a friend. Denise fills the poly-cotton fabric with hypoallergenic Polyfill, sews them and finds them a new home to brighten up. Many of the pillows featured in the magazine can be found on Denise's Facebook business page, priced at $17 each, plus shipping.Â
