Halcyon Days Perusing Victoria Magazine

1998 Victoria Magazine cover

My Mom had a subscription to Victoria magazine all during my childhood.  As soon as she tired of it I'd drag it off to a beach blanket on the grass under the trees and imagine living in the secret garden-esque settings contained within.

I loved the evocative scene-setting and delicate anglophile sensibilities.  It was a perfectly curated pinterest board before we had the means to make those dang things ourselves.

I also COMPLETELY thought the magazine had folded - but apparently it has not.

1998 Victoria Magazine interor

Long story short

1. When I saw this 1998 copy in an antique store I had to have it.
2. Perchance I need to re-up on a subscription.
