~~VICTORIA ** A Return to LOVELINESS~~






Once upon a time & for many years I thought I lived in my own little "VICTORIA World"! But I have learned otherwise from so many bloggers that love this magazine TOO! I was ecstatic when I discovered that VICTORIA was back! I subscribed for years & still have all my many stacks that I look through over & over & I still enjoy them all these years later. Every once in a while I run across them at garage sales & pick them up to sell on ebay.

So last week I went through every cupboard, shelf, & cabinet where I stash my old ones & sorted them by month & year to make sure I only sold the extra ones that I already have. AND "ditto" with my other two favorites - Romantic Homes & Home Companion. I can't part with any of them unless I have two! So once I got them all laid out & sorted I wanted to look at every one of them right then ~ every Victoria cover makes you want to open it!

When I looked at the new Victoria website & read "The Bliss is Back"...."Fall in Love All Over Again"....& "A Return to Loveliness" I was overwhelmed with that cozy ~ old fashioned feeling again.....I'm so looking forward to getting cozy with that very first issue & I'm so happy it's back!

I'm still waiting for my copy, too! I have been sending my husband down the lane everyday and waiting as if he were Santa Claus to come with my present.....but alas, nothing..... I sure hope Saturday's mail will deliver it. Then everyone will be fending for themselves while I drool over the eye candy :-)

Oh how funny! I am the same way! I have a ton of magazines that I can't part with either.

I can't wait to get my copy too. I am kicking myself in the rear for not subscribing right away.

Good Morning,

I found your blog through Laurie at Mom of Two Roses. I'm a huge fan of Victoria magazine too. I'm so excited that it's back!!

I'm loving your new red couch - what a find and a great price! Don't you just love finds like that?

Have a great day!

I'm having Victoria envy right now! I lost almost all of my (extensive) stash in a basement flood a few years ago!:>( I keep on the lookout at garage sales and antique stores now and found a few this summer.
