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

I saw the DVD’s offered in Victoria too. I think I would much rather have the actual magazine then have it on a DVD. My ipad has an app where you can purchase magazines and read them right on the Ipad. I tried it, it’s not the same as having the physical magazine in your hands. Did not like it one bit.

I am a paper person and not a techie. I love to read books and magazines and will never be tempted by an e-reader. It all depends on the kind of person that you are. I can’t bear clutter and love to tidy away and give things to charity shops, but to me books are treasured possessions and part of my life. Saying that, I don’t keep all of them, only my favourites.

Toss the magazines and get the dvd’s. As you let go of things you don’t need you will feel a sense of relief and lightness in your soul. I have done it and it feels great.
