Inspirations

Sign of the Times

For years I’ve collected the back issues of Victoria Magazine, searching eBay for issues, and finally happy to say I think I have them all.  Two full shelves dedicated to these magazines, neatly organized in boxes by year.

This week as I was flipping through the latest issue of Victoria guess what I saw?  You can now buy a set of 2 DVD’s with all the back issues of Victoria.  Every single issue and the ability to search by subject, article , name etc.

Two full shelves of magazines or 2 little DVD’s?  People tell me it’s not the same as flipping through the actual magazine, and then I keep picturing those 2 little DVD’s sitting quietly on the shelf, not taking up much space, not collecting much dust.    I’m in a mood to simplify my life .  What would you do?

Speaking of de-cluttering, if you haven’t been over to the website lately, you’ll find Moda Bella, Essential Dots and Grunge on sale for 50% off.  Also while you’re there be sure and look at what’s in the Sale section.  I’m discontinuing all the Cosmo multiwork floss except for #4300 red.  We’ll still have the Cosmo floss when we move to our new website, just not the Cosmo multiwork.  This is your chance my sweet blog readers to purchase those backings or add to your fabric stash before I announce it in my newsletter next week.

Hope you’re having a great weekend.  I’m finishing up the last quilt before market and then its off to be quilted!

Hugs,

Anne

    Gosh Anne I sure can relate! I have years and years of Country Living Mafazine in boxes. Now and then I will pull out a holiday volume and get some great ideas but at this point I think I would opt for the DVD’s… Only because there are other things (fabric, machines, notions) that would take precedence over boxes of magazines.

    Thanks for the sale on your site. I tried to jump over there and it doesn’t seem to be responding :(. I will try again in the morning. I received an order from you last week with the 50% off notions. What a great deal! Thank you!

    Hugs,
    Karen

    Looking thru magazines has such a relaxing air about it! Keep your collection. Just moved back into our home after a year long remodel. Just pondered these very thoughts. Dont let technology interfere with your collection. I Made a special Bunny Hill Binder for my new sewing room!! Pink on the outside and filled with your marvelous patterns and a pink paper clip you included in an order. Savor your collection!!!
