    Artful Blogging feature

    by Kaylah Stroup May 9, 2016
    The Dainty Squid magazine feature

    I feel a little bit like a braggart writing this post right now considering the fact I was on the cover of Cleveland Magazine last month and wrote a whole post about that. But y’all, this girl doesn’t exactly get featured in magazines everyday, it just so happens that two months in a row I have been though! Wooooo! This time around it’s the summer 2016 edition of Artful Blogging.

    This feature is a little different than my last. Instead of an interview, I actually wrote a short piece about my blogging process. That along with a handful of my photos span three whole pages. Ahhh! I let them choose which photos to include just because I honestly wasn’t sure why they liked me in the first place. Not in a “I think my photos are crap” or “I’m not confident in my work” way but in “your magazine looks so pretty and sometimes I blog about dead things and abandoned places…” kind of way. Haha! The Dainty Squid does have a pretty diverse variety of subject matter so it was really interesting for me to see it summarized by someone else in a handful of photos. Aaaand I am over the moon about seeing my photos in print. SO. STINKEN. COOL.

    I have nothing else to say that wouldn’t involve writing the word “excited” about fifty more times so I want to take this opportunity to thank everyone who reads The Dainty Squid. It’s a really crazy feeling to know that a whole bunch of people I’ve never met swing by my little corner of the internet just check in on me, my critters, and all our crazy adventures. When I started this blog so many years ago I never imagined that I would have so many amazing readers or that I would ever be featured in magazines. It’s crazy, it’s the best and I couldn’t do it without ya! I love the heck out of all of you.

    Artful Blogging is available for purchase here, it’s also available at a variety of stores (Check out the store locator!)
    xoxo

  • 7 tips for finding beach glass

    by Kaylah Stroup May 4, 2016

    When I first got into finding beach glass I was surprised to learn that we even had some in Ohio. I guess in my mind it was probably only in Florida. I dunno why, I just imagine that the beaches in FL have lots of treasures. That combined with the fact I had only heard …

    A few weeks ago I shared a little bit about my current living situation. Wording it like that makes it sound more dramatic than it really is. Hah! Like I said in that post I’m ready to move. I have my sights set on the perfect spot but I’m currently on a wait list for …
