I was so happy today to discover the latest issue of Victoria magazine stuffed inside my mail box. This publication has finally returned to us for what I hope is a very long time. I used to subscribe to it years ago, and for some reason (I guess it wasn't popular enough) it stopped publishing. I had my subscription already paid up and ended up getting stuck with some idiotic magazine about living on the coast - Coastal Living - I think. I do live on the coast, but I just couldn't get into the magazine. It wasn't the same as Victoria.

So, what does this magazine have to do with jewelry? Not a lot but some - and that's one of the things I liked about this magazine before. It has a little of everything. It covers home decor as well as clothing and a little jewelry too for those who are interested in fashion but may not want to read a full fashion magazine. They also had great articles about women who started their own companies, like jewelry companies, or maybe they started catering service, or there was even one about making and selling hats:

Serenity awaits you in every issue of Victoria magazine. Unabashedly feminine, Victoria offers the best in charming home décor, gracious gardens, entertaining touches, intimate profiles of inspiring women, and off-the-beaten-path travel destinations. Leave the every-day behind with Victoria!

The new subscription rate is a tad more pricey at about $20 versus $12 in the old days, but hopefully, it will be worth it and Victoria will be around to stay this time! Hmmm...maybe I should write to them and offer to be their jewelry editor. What do you think?
