A few months back I was invited by the master of all that is handmade, Jen Wallace of Indie Fixx, to be a contributor to her latest issue of Joie Magazine. Joie is an online only publication that is “all about the art of joyful living. It’s a lifestyle mag and covers art, craft, living, design, fashion + more.” This issue revolved around the theme of “merrymaking” so when I was asked to conceptualize an article to write, naturally I thought about my favorite merrymaking activity.. parties!! I came up with a fiesta inspired holiday party concept complete with DIY decor ideas and a menu that is affordable and easy for anyone to recreate (I even included an idea for a cute party favor!) Want to read all about it? Be sure and check out Joie and please consider contributing $1.99 to the magazine to help support the talented folks that have helped put this together.

Indie Fixx author Jen Wallace decided to take a little vacation from her computer and honored me with an invitation to be a guest blogger for her. Cool! Naturally I decided to combine two of my favorite things, South America and interior design, for today’s guest post. Head over to Indie Fixx to check out my post “From Argentina with Color,” which features a collection of colorful photos from the homes of Argentina’s coolest independent designers.

Be sure to stop by tomorrow (oops, by tomorrow I meant Wednesday) when I share more of my favorite photos from Casa Chaucha. Thanks again Jen! I had a great time blogging on Indie Fixx!
