I've Never Been to England

Did y'all know that a couple of weeks ago, I won the magazine give away that Penny at The Comforts of Home had? She had the best idea! She had extra magazines around her house and decided to share them with her readers. I was the lucky number that was drawn.

This perfect little box arrived full of British magazines that were wrapped in pretty purple paper and twine. Immediately I was in love! The magazines, Country Living UK and Period Living, are absolutely beautiful. What I would really like to say is that they haven't forgotten what pretty is. (Sometimes I have to wonder about designs in America)

See what I mean? My photography isn't the best but I'm sure you can tell.

You can even order these amazing dresses! I love dresses. :)

Oh look! They would show a home fully decorated then tell you where to buy similar items. Here's the thing...the information is provided right there with the article..not at the back of the magazine in microscopic print. Doesn't the picture below remind you of Cynthia's Cottage Design?

I just can't tell you how much I've been enjoying these pictures. I've been trying to multitask. Carrying around the magazines while I do other things. It's kind of hard to apply your natural beauty (makeup) while looking at magazines but I can do it!

Be still my heart!!

There are lots of conservatories featured in the pages. Just imagine!

Thank you very much Penny for sharing your magazines with me.

I think you had such a great idea to pass them along to a reader. It's the Sisterhood of the Traveling Magazines. Now I might do the same thing later...but you probably won't be able to pry these magazines from my hands.
