It takes a lot to bring tears to my eyes in Sam’s club. Yes ma’am. But it happened today. Victoria magazine, my favorite publication of all time, has returned to the newsstand!
Victoria magazine… How can I tell you what it means to me. I have issues of Victoria magazine going all the way back to 1990. I had a toddler at home. I was expecting my second son. I lived in a rental house that was about 80 years old. My heart was young and full of dreams of faraway, elegant places, of teas, of English etiquette, and of beautiful clothes and home furnishings, and Victoria would take me to all those things, each and every month.
I kept true and bought Victoria through the years, but the light that had shone forth from all of Victoria’s pages began to fade in the early 2000s and finally Victoria disappeared from the newsstands altogether.
Imagine my delight today when I saw it: Bliss. Victoria. Rejoice! VICTORIA Returns
I leafed through the pages and found that same sweet feeling I had when I read Victoria all those years ago.
Me and Victoria magazine. Together again.

No, it’s not black friday yet, but I am off today and I am about to go out and get my decorations, my food items, my plants and my Mrs. Meyer’s holiday cleaning supplies for Thanksgiving Day! And you know I’ll go by the thrift store!
If you are out today, safe travels to you and I hope you find everything you need!

About Lynn
I am the mother of four delightful children: a 23-year-old son, a 20-year-old son, a 17-year-old son, and a bright and bubbly 13-year-old daughter. I share an apartment home with my 17-year-old son and 13-year-old daughter. My little home on the internet is called Rose Cottage because of my love for gardening, roses, and all things romantic and Victorian. Welcome.
I'm a North Carolina girl and I love sharing North Carolina links and information. I do medical transcription from home. My hobbies include making sweet little dolls from clay who are named and have their own stories to tell. I also make old-fashioned brooches. These are for sale in my Etsy shop.
For 13 years continuously, I homeschooled some or all of our four children, but the time came that our homeschool had to be closed. It was the end of a beautiful chapter in my life. I will always be a strong supporter of homeschooling and I will continue to review books and maintain my homeschool website, The Healthy Homeschool. The Players

My Symphony
To live content with small means; to seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion; to be worthy, not respectable, and wealthy, not rich; to study hard, think quietly, talk gently, act frankly; to listen to stars and birds, to babes and sages, with open heart; to bear all cheerfully, do all bravely, await occasions, hurry never. In a word, to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious, grow up through the common. This is to be my symphony.
William Henry Channing
1810-1884
