Piles

Been going through the piles of magazines I've collected over the years.  Can't get rid of the Victorias, or the Country Homes, but am able to, pretty much, tear up the Country Livings (US and UK), and the Romantic Homes without breaking into a sweat.  

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.
