    I get that on my nook once in a while. but I have to be honest, since pinterest, I just dont feel the need to buy as many magazines as I used too. And in fact.. I feel like Im might actually be ready to toss the piles and years of old mags that I have.. except for my Mary Englebriets home companion magazines.. such a waste to toss them out though...
    have a great weekend my friend! its going to be lovely weather here, so I am excited!

    Hi Diana,
    Yes, I especially enjoyed this issue of Romantic Homes. It was more like some of the older issued that I loved. I loved the tea cup artwork in one of the homes featured and of course all the ones you mentioned above.

    Have a beautiful, romantic home weekend.

    hugs
    Sissie

    Diana, I just got my issue of romantic Homes. I do love this magazine. Of course, I have been too busy to even look through it. I want too now that I have seen your preview. That cat's face just makes me laugh. Talk about cat-a-tude...he has it....plus !
    Hope you are enjoying nice weather today. Boy yesterday here was the most perfect day in ever so long. Today is to be more of the same. Yippee. Blessings to all, xoxo,Susie

    Romantic Homes is simply the most beautiful magazine out there, bar none. The spaces are so feminine and luscious, they take your breath away.

    As for CJ, I think he needs a shave ;).

    Diana,
    Going out later to the Container store and I am stopping to pick up the May issue for sure. Beauty leaps off the pages, thanks for your review.
    I wonder if that cats normal expression is a frown, too funny!

    These are all so pretty and now I want to throw everything out, paint my walls white and can a 77 yr old woman find a new man 'cause if I did all this, Mr. Sweet would roll his eyes at me for the last time and drive away.

    Ive read their magazine for many years....started b2k in the nineties i think! When the kids were still little. I LOVE MAGAZINES and will never stop buying them. Like to hold the magazine and flip thru the pages each month....so dont think ill convert to the "modern way" of reading them online or on a device. Plus i rip alot of pages out for recipes, outfits and accessories, books to order, home decor to try, travel tips and locations etc. I rip out alot of pretty pictures for my journal too. How bout you?

    How funny (the mad party crasher cat!)
    I love Romantic Homes. I buy it digitally now because I was worried about myself - don't want to turn into a hoarder with piles of pretty magazines in my study! I'm glad you like it so much, too!

    Beautiful, beautiful photos! I haven't seen the magazine in person but this looks like a very nice issue. Thanks for sharing!

    Are you wearing your Derby hat and attire today? :) I woke up very early with a killer migraine and haven't been able to do
    much of anything except rest. The nausea does me in.

    Hope you're having a wonderful weekend!

    It is one of my favorites. I don't know what I'm gonna do when we move. I already have a small house but I will be less one bedroom and am having to see a few of my favorite. It will be an adjustment but if my kids are there I'm okay.

    This is a great issue, Diana; I've been drooling over my copy. I love the Halliday's home. Blue and white never goes out of style. The chandelier with the shades is so charming. Hugs, Nancy

    It looks like a beautiful issue, and I love that blue and white room. My favorite magazine is Jeanne d' Arc Living, but there is only one place that sells it, and I have to enlist my spouse to drive around a few times, because there is no parking. Have a wonderful weekend. xoxo Su

    I used to buy Romantic Homes, but lately find the issues so similar. And I think I'm moving to a more streamlined decor style. Love the blue and white, though - always my favorite.
