First it was Blueprint. But it wasn't around all that long, so the love wasn't completely engrained in my soul.
Then there was Domino. There was enough said on that one in the blogosphere to last a lifetime, so I won't dwell anymore on it here.
And now...
Mary Engelbreit's Home Companion.
For 11 years I have bought this magazine.
I threatened my daughter's life if they so much as even THOUGHT about tearing out the paper dolls that, for a time, came in each one.
I would make a color copy, rather than tear out, the art that was included.
Since January I have been faithfully checking B & N for the latest issue, it was never there.
So finally the other day, I remembered to check the internet to get to the bottom of this and that's when I found this.
My heart is SERIOUSLY broken.
You see, I am a homebody.
I LOVE to be home.
Therefore I like my surroundings to be comfortable, happy & warm, but mostly to be a reflection of me, my life, where I've been and where I'd like to go.
It showed me that it's OKAY to display your Goodwill finds loud & proud.
And that trunk you drug home, if you LOVE it, use it!
Home is what you make it, it's not going to some fancy showroom or the likes and doing "that" version of home. It's the odd, quirky things that do it!
I've got an artistic brain & soul, and that magazine filled it.
It would spotlight the work, home & space of a creative-type person in each issue.
LOVED it.
Folks, this one kills me!
Drama much???
NOTE: These are the issues I'm missing. I'm putting out an A.P.B. for them if anyone comes across them at like a Bookman's or whatevs, remember me, k?
Thanks.
Love ya!
