Oh, the sadness I feel as magazines {now Cookie} are still dropping like flies {Domino & WonderTime earlier this year} around me. A relatively new, but a ridiculously quick ascender to the TOP of my list, UPPERCASE, sent vintage postcards with their last issue and invited submissions of any kind. At the time I was working on July’s Feedsack of the Month Club, so my postcard got sewn, stickered, handwritten & letterpressed {i used both uppercase and lowercase U wood type letters} before it was all said and done.
I would love to contribute more to this curious, contagious, creative magazine and many of my other favorites before the era of the printed magazine is gone altogether. Please, Please tell me that won’t happen. Here is my current subscription list:
{1} Garden & Gun {2} Uppercase {3} Seeing the Everyday {4} Martha Stewart {5} Dwell {6} Sunset {7} Communication Arts {8} GOOD {9} ReadyMade … and then two digital zines {10} Plenty {11} Craft
Some of my euro faves are Junior, Donna Hay & Living Etc.. I have also recently discovered Selvedge, …
I’m curious! What is on your subscription list?

Back to my magazine fetish, there must be some depth to this obsession … as giddy as a school girl the other day, I fished out my first copy of Seeing the Everyday from my PO Box and it dawned on me … not only do I LOVE magazines, but I love magazine editor clients.
I remember walking up to the table at my fave little sip house in Boulder, Pekoe, and finding Joanne + Jake there. The first thing we established was that the theme was : no theme : just a typographical solution to their wedding suite. We explored all kinds of concepts over the next few meetings and ended up with the most simple design. And the journey was loads of laughs, too.
For all you wedding blog readers, Joanne and Jake’s Save the Date was featured over on Brooklyn Bride a couple of months back.
Jake is the editor of Skiing magazine, he and Joanne were incredible to work with, the collaborative vibe flowed so freely. So now, two of my Top 5 clients of all time just happen to be magazine editors (the other is Sid Evans of Garden & Gun), what do you think that means?

oh, no no no! Remember number eleven on my 25 random things??? well it’s about to come crashing down! the world has lost two fabulous magazines this week, TWO of the greats : Domino and WonderTime. I am sad to say goodbye to that monthly mailbox surprise. The rest of my list, i’m almost afraid to mention, I can’t take anymore publishing plummets:
{1} Seeing the Everyday {2} WonderTime {3} Garden & Gun {4} Martha Stewart Weddings {5} Dwell {6} How {7} Communication Arts {8} Domino {9} ReadyMade … and then two digital zines {10} Plenty {11} Craft
I think you can now get ReadyMade digital style too!, maybe I will go with some of my euro faves Junior & Living Etc. to fill the holes in my heart? What is on your subscription list?

Thrilled to announce that I just subcribed to the magazine I’ve been drooling over for almost a year now. Not sure why it took me so long, but I can’t wait for my first issue. It’s about gestalt … all of the little things that make up a whole – LIFE. And it’s wonderful, you should check it out, oh so inspiring.
