Magazine Roundup # 7

My only resolution for 2014 was to stop or at least reduce the magazine habit I created since my teenage years. I blame my father for this habit. But now that I've reached adulthood (if the 40's can be called that, haha) I have to take responsibility,  I guess.  I've been quite good actually, sticking only to what is absolutely necessary (again haha).

I started this series with the intention to share my love for magazines, the not so famous ones, the special ones (at least for me). Here they are, the two chosen ones for the last in the series. Good Company (US) and FUKT (Germany).

I'm glad I picked these two, because they seem to be the kind that will be around for a while. Actually, that is one of the things I like about good magazines, you want to keep them, just like books. They are helpful and the material is always relevant. This one has some recipes that I will hold on to, plus the photography is simply stunning.

This magazine looks like you've been snooping in someone's really cool journal. I had never seen this one before, and I'm glad I saw it. Inside it is page after page of amazing drawings. For inspiration is wonderful, I think.

Unfortunately due to economic reasons this is my last of this series. Magazines are getting more and more expensive (I do believe they are also getting better), but my wallet can't allow this anymore. We did have a talk the other day, and it informed me rather rudely, that this must STOP!!

All the other roundups are here, if you want to take a look.

On friday I will start a new series, a cheaper one (for me) and inspiring for you (I hope).

Have a lovely day,
Giova

Magazine Roundup #6

Another roundup with some treasures I have found. Some were found in this very cool store, others in my local magazine store.

I think that the common theme between them is that they are not only beautiful, but wonderful reads as well.

What made me pick up Teller was the cover, and the words; "A magazine of stories." Atlas got purchased because there was a beautiful, old postcard inside as a gift (I'm a sucker for those kind of things). And then on further inspection, I was just completely sold, no freebies needed to persuade me!

Flamingo is the smaller in format of the four. I usually like the magazines I read to be a bit bigger, but I really enjoyed going through this issue; "the future craft issue." Very interesting short, articles.

In the case of Printed Pages, the third page was enough to get me interested; Letters of Note, by Shaun Usher. Now I think I'm going to have to buy that book. I love letters, even if they are not directed privately to me. And then there was an article on Sagmeister & Walsh, and I couldn't resist. After all,  I heard him talk here.

This was the postcard included in the Atlas magazine.

I hope you've enjoyed this quick tour of these wonderful magazines that lately occupy my nightstand.

Happy readings!!
