Tears of Joy… Rejoice! Victoria Returns

Tuesday, November 20th, 2007

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.

It’s Not Black Friday, It’s Thanksgiving Shopping

Tuesday, November 20th, 2007

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!
