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

It would defintiely be the dvd for me. As soon as the magaines I subscribe to became available on digital format I switched to that, now they take up no space but I still get to enjoy them.

I subscribed to Victoria the first few years that it was in print and saved every copy for years. Somehow in our last move I seem to have lost them.
Thank you for mentioning the DVD’s because I’ve been trying to find two recipes from Victoria for years and years with no luck. That might be the answer!

While there’s nothing quite like the feel of a real magazine or book when you feel like flicking through, or just relaxing, the simplicity of the DVDs, the searchability for when you are looking for that article you know is in there somewhere . . .
Is there room in your life for both? Oh the trials of a sentimentalist in this bright new shiny technological age!!
