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

Anne,
I missed reading you over the Summer and your website looks already new to me. You changed some formats at top and coloring. Hope if you are changing more than that, that we will be redirected from old website to new website. Enjoy Fall Market.

I have been and likely will always be, a magazine hoarder er collector. Because I have; moved my collections of magazines from house to house more than once ultimately realizing that I hadn’t looked at them in more years than I cared to count; have collections of magazines that have sticky notes to reference patterns that I just KNOW I am going to make or articles that I am going to re-read but simply haven’t found the time for as well as DVD’s of a year or a decade worth of magazines (purchased so that I could make room for even more magazines)that I have never once referenced – I can say with absolute certainty that you are unlikely to spend much time looking at either of them.
We are well intentioned but the thing is there is always another lovely magazine with more current fabric and delicious new products showing up in our mailbox or, in this age of digital everything, our in box.
Free up the space in your life for new things and let someone else enjoy the magazines that brought you so much pleasure in the past.
