Holiday Magazine – Available Now

By Kate Riley October 3, 2011

I’m so excited to share some big news with you!  A few days ago I received an email letting me know that Holiday Magazine is now available!  Perhaps you recall that day in July I spent shooting with Matthew at my house. You can see all of our styling and the feature revealed on the pages of the new Holiday.

Holiday Magazine with Matthew Mead will be sold on newsstands later in the season, however there is an expanded keepsake issue ready right now for purchase. The keepsake edition is bigger and contains additional pages of beautiful holiday ideas, recipes, and projects.

The expanded issue can be ordered online to arrive directly in your mailbox before the newsstand edition is available.  Expert stylist Matthew Mead creates a simple yet spectacular holiday for you with creative ideas for handmade crafts, unique gifts, elegant decorations, and scrumptious edibles. This special issue includes so much inspiration from the Christmas cookies to seasonal home makeovers to exquisite paper crafts. Inside you’ll find contributions from bloggers including Stephanie Nielson (The NieNie Dialogues), Tricia Foley, Living Locurto, Savour Fare, Brooklyn Limestone and me! 

I was so honored to be included in this issue and to work side by side with Matthew. For the magazine, I recreated our New Year’s Eve buffet table in a fresh color palette of vivid pinks paired with lime green. You’ll read about our New Year’s Eve traditions and a party that’s incomplete without the three C’s: cheesecake, chocolate, and champagne.

I created some simple party horns just for Matthew with bubbly inspired scrapbook papers (you’ll see some of my other DIY crafts too).

Inside the magazine, you’ll find even more Christmas inspiration from my home in shades of pink and green – we know you’ll love it!  Who’s that handsome little elf?  I think I know him…

I do have more pictures and a behind the scenes look at our photo shoot, but I’ll save those for later in the holiday season.  This video shows you a glimpse of everything else you’ll see inside the pages of Holiday with Matthew Mead.

The good news is you can purchase the expanded keepsake version of Matthew Mead Holiday today, right now, right here.  

Matthew also has a new collection of decorative items for entertaining for sale – his online site is opening very soon. This is the lovely Three Tiered Stand from his collection.
