and onto the post:
I know I am a lover of everything primitive,
old, weathered, worn ~
loved, faded & bedraggled...
but
I also love contemporary things too ~
I love color, design and artful handwork...
so, it's no suprise to those that know me well
to see me reading a variety of books and magazines ~
above are the latest (newest) to my collection...from left to right
"STUFFED" magazine:
a fun, funky and full of surprises mag full of colorful snaps
of thee craziest creations ever stuffed with stuff...
(I love the varied artists' techniques)
"ARTFUL BLOGGING" magazine:
a compendium of awesome & personal writings, photos, stories & journeys...
(my dream one day is to be included!!)
"STUDIOS" by Clothpaperscissors

TONS of organizational inspiration
"ART DOLL QUARTERLY" magazine

Primitive Quilts & Projects... A Primitive Place... Create & Decorate... Sampler & Antique Needlework Quarterly...American Patchwork & Quilting... more pics of Iggy please! :-)
Ditto to Mary E. about the Home Companion. Oh, how I miss it.
Iggy is so adorable! Ornery just oozes from those eyes.
awwww...what a cute kitty!
I let all my magazine subscriptions expire except for Sampler & Antique Needlework Quarterly. I just couldn't read them all!
The American version of Country Living just isn't what it used to be. So, I've been enjoying the English Country Living. I miss County Home and M.E. very much. Thank goodness Victoria is back. Wish it was monthly though. Mary A
I'm with you on Mary Englebriet. I loved that magazine. You forgot Mary Jane's Farm magazine. If you don't have a subscription to it, you are REALLY missing a treasure. I can hardly wait to get mine.
Also, with the economic slump and people watching their pennies a little more closely, I found that magazines.com has great coupons and specials that can save you from 5-10 dollars on a subscription.

A shared passion for mags...I too love Country Living, Country Home, A Simple Life, Wool Street Journal, Real Simple, Whole Living, LOVED Home Companion, can not wait for Folk!
Hi, Lori, OMG! what a face on Hannah's kitty, he just LOOKS like he's planning his next move. I have to say with an exception of a few on your list that I've never heard of (which is one reason I love blogging so much, the knowledge you get)I confess to being addicted to most of your magazines. Especially EAL.
Warm Regards,
Susan B., Western MA
You have good taste friend....My favs are Early American Life, A Simple Life, A Primitive Place, Rug Hooking, Mercantile Gatherings, Country Living, Primitive Quilts & Projects....Ahhh....so many good reads, so little time! Loving your sweet Iggy!! Can't get enough of his precious face!! Have a great weekend! Smiles & Hugs ~ Robin
I too am a self confessed magazine junkie! The only constants for me though are Country Sampler & A Primitive Place. Each month I kind of scan & choose one or more here and there as I can. Right now all the Halloween issues are starting to come out and I always have to get them...like Family Circle & Woman's Day & special publication magazines for Halloween. Someday I'll have subscriptions to all the ones I glance at each month in the store!! ~Kriss~
hi,Lori
Well, Iggy just captures my heart~ love them hears pulled back~ giggles~
There is so many wonderful ways to decorate~ I too find the beauty in all ways~
Keep safe~ sending my prayers

What a cute kitty! I like to read-Create & Decorate, all of the cross stitch magazines (I'll buy if there are designs I want to stitch), Holiday Crafts, Crafts 'n things, People magazine, Cowboys & Indians, anything rodeo!, Cooking Light and a few others. A lot of these I buy at a store and two I have a subscription for. Yes, I'm a magazine-aholic too!
