Mad for magazines

I have a weakness for magazines.
I was thinking about that again last night as I felt badly rushing past Hudson News at Grand Central in favor of catching the express train home.
Another sign? I was near-giddy when I heard about the return of Victoria magazine. My first copy has arrived; I’m planning to savor it over the weekend and give you an update next week.
For now, though, I’d just like to talk about a trio of new publications that have come my way:
They are all from Action Pursuit Group, the California-based publisher of two (more) of my favorite magazines, Romantic Homes and Victorian Homes.
The publicist for Cottages & Bungalows had actually asked if she could send a sample copy… you know I said yes.
And I was pleased to get her package and see that it also included premiere issues of two more, Lodges and Lofts.
Even though they address very different kinds of living spaces, the magazines share a certain sensibility.
There are great photographs, some really interesting features — and dozens and dozens of ideas of things to buy for your own home.
What more could you ask for?

Well, I’ve now received two issues of the revamped Victoria magazine.
I was talking to a friend who also was a longtime fan of the original, and we agreed. We are SO glad it’s back, but it’s just not the same.
We can’t quite put our fingers on it. It’s still beautiful. Still filled with stories we’re interested in… though we could really do without a repeat of the cheesy “vintage-fashion” spread from the inaugural issue.
Oh well- I’ll continue to subscribe.
After all, some Victoria is better than none!
