Vintage Home.

I love my Country Living magazine, the U.K. edition that I have to search for each month but always find. It's often a month behind and yesterday, we stumbled upon the March edition. Such a good read and I love how some of the little character styles we incorporated into our cottage show up in homes featured in the magazine. Love the articles, the artwork and the inspiration. Recently we discovered that Country Living has created a new version called "Country Living Vintage Home" and I'm in love again! It's a huge edition as you can see by the first photo. I'm not sure and will have to check later if it's going to be a monthly offer or periodically. I'm going thru it slowly and enjoying each and every page. When we were at Indigo yesterday, they still had copies of this first one, so it could be a quarterly.

It was a busy day yesterday, between work and connecting with my staff virtually for resident rounds in the morning, driving our car in to town for a new windshield and then running back to pick it up again later in the day, and then a board meeting last night. All good stuff but I was tired last night. Expected to sleep through the night but actually had a crappy night. So now I've woken up exhausted. However, once I'm done my post, I'm off for my workout and then a nice shower. Then I'll be good to go. A quieter morning today, which is perfect, so I can catch up. Then a counselling session @ 11, lunch, then my team and I meet each Wednesday @ 1. I love this meeting as we talk about our clients and dream about new projects! I have to check if I have another session @ 4. Can't recall if last week we decided to book again, but it will be in my case notes for that client. In between, I plan to drive in to hospice, get dressed up in PPE and check in quickly with a new resident who I've been chatting with on the phone, pick up a few items I need (files and my laptop) so I can keep working from home as directed by our ED, and water my plant. Then home for a quiet night. Not a super exciting day but I am looking forward to connecting with my clients, my team and to be outside as much as possible ~ it's a blue sky day with a 20 degree C prediction. And then, can you guess what? Yup! Snow tomorrow! Photos to follow ....

Namaste my dear bloggers. 

Enjoy your beautiful day!

A Month Behind.

 

I LOVE the British Edition of Country Living each

month. But always so frustrated that even though

the other publications I like to buy are typically on

the stand the month before, this one is truly always at

least a whole month behind. The August 2019 edition

is finally in the store and I'm happy to be cozied up

and reading it tonight. But it's a bit weird to read

about Summer when the leaves are falling to the

ground outside right now. Fall has arrived in our

little forest but I still enjoy the charm of this edition.

Bliss Victoria.

I've always loved the "Victoria" magazines and was excited to see this first issue of "Bliss Victoria" in our library. Because it was brand new, I couldn't check it out as all new issues of any magazine our library carries must stay in the special vinyl holder for the first month it's on sale. Then it goes out into the circulation. I flipped through this for a moment and then quickly put it back before I looked at too many sweet and vintage things. 

An hour later, I was in the grocery store picking up a few items and walked past the magazine rack. And guess what my little eyes spotted? This very issue. Into my basket it went (after checking through at least 10 of them to make sure I had the perfect one!) without hesitation. After a busy, long day, I was happy to finally curl up on the couch in front of the fire and totally immerse myself in this lovely publication. In case you weren't sure, those are scrumptious cookies on the front cover. Yum!

Do you treat yourself to the occasional magazine?

If so, do you have any favorites that you love?

Special Read.

We love all things British, so it was

a special treat to receive this lovely

and special read from my dd. A great

"in a hot tub on a cold winter's night"

kind of gift. Love it and can't wait

for a nice soak. Here's the link:
