Victoria sends a lovely early birthday present…

I received the loveliest surprise in my mailbox today, the March/April issue of Victoria magazine… which I am sure they intended as an early birthday present (as mine falls a week from tomorrow.) The third offering of Victoria by Hoffman, this one is resplendent with beauty… definitely their best effort.
With gorgeous images of gardens, flowers, a Scottish-style manor house in British Columbia, fashion, and more, this issue delights the eye from cover to cover. I am all the more encouraged that the magazine will again be what she once was… the rightful Queen of Magazines.
My heart is full to see this magazine come in all its glorious springtime splendor. My spirits are buoyed by what I have seen from this issue and my hopes even higher for the ones to follow. Thank you, Victoria, for your early birthday present to me and for ushering in our vernal equinox in the proper fashion.

christi, I love this magazine too, I just got mine in the mail the other day. I have to say, your new floral watercolors looks so pretty, I’ve been looking at some of your posts below, just love them. Keep experimenting and please do show us more. Your work is looking great.

What lovely photos of Victoria magazine. I’m starting to read mine and am enjoying it all very much.
I found a blog you might be interested in - http://theinspiredroom.typepad.com
Her photos are not shabby chic but more traditional with elegance. Her writings are very thoughtful.
Unfortunately just now there are a couple of recent posts about doggy blogging, which is completely out of the norm. If you can look past those you might enjoy the blog.
