Like lots of folks, I don't think Victoria is what it used to be. I did buy a new copy today, since it's the French style one, but usually I pass it up. Even when the new editor took over (the current one), the magazine suited me, but then it seemed to get a bit prissy....little by little. It's not cozy so much anymore, but very dressy, and I'm not the dressy sort. One friend called me a Bohemian one time, and while that seems to be a bit extreme, it fits what I like to see in a magazine. More laid-back, not so fixed up and maybe a tad more livable.
Anyway, it's nice to whittle down my piles of stuff. Not done, but enjoying the process.
