Summer breezes gently stir the field of flowers, undulating in purple waves and leading the way to a timeworn stone cottage sheltered beneath age-old trees. The same blue-violet shade also brightens interiors.
I always anxiously await the next issue of Bliss Victoria or the Victoria Classics special issues…. this French Cottage issue looks wonderful and I am counting down the days before I can find it at my local newsagent’s. Thank you Phyllis and Staff !
Is it so wrong to be this excited?
P.S. – Is there an English Cottage issue in the works by chance?
Hello Phyllis, like many of your readers, I read Victoria and House Beautiful for many many years. I still have all the copies. I had to give these up when my husband and I retired – bearing in mind the exchange rate between the rand and the dollar. However there is one book shop at a shopping center some 60 Kms away and the only one I know which stocks these magazines so I treat myself on the rare occasions I go to Pretoria. However on my last visit in June 2016 the cost was phenomenal. It was the May/June 2016 issue $7,99 and I paid R279.00. Help!!!
I saw the first French Cottage issue in 2015 and looked for it every month thereafter. Much to my dismay I never found it. Was I surprised to find it this year and even more surprised to find out that it only came out once per year. The joke was on me.
