I recently shared that I have forever had a magazine addiction...passion....interest, and I shared here how I gave them up for a long stretch, for economic reasons, and because I was dealing with a lot of surplus paper around my home.
Well, I stumbled up a new publication...a Premier Issue of Romantic Prairie Style, in Home Depot at the check-out, of all places, and...Ohmygosh! (I am apparently the only person in the US that didn't realize Fifi was doing this magazine...)It's fantastic.(I will admit that the price was still rather daunting at nearly ten bucks..)
It's got color, not simply more white-on-white-on-white-and-weathered decor (Which I personally do adore, but how many issues of the same look can we get inspired by?) and oodles of great decorating ideas, and...the best part...is that I haven't already seen a bazillion pictures from before the magazine issue launched sharing "sneak peeks" which turn out to be nearly all the pictures in the magazine on writer's FaceBook pages and websites. Am I the only one disappointed when a magazine arrives in my mailbox, and it feels like deju-vu experience because I've already seen three quarters of the photos online? (Why buy the magazine? (It makes me wish I hadn't subscribed to one new magazine in particular for that very reason...)
Anyway.
Romantic Prairie Style. Fifi nailed it. I loved this first issue. Loved. it. All.
Check it out and let me know if you agree.
**edited to add: Thanks Dawn for sharing that you can find the magazine at WalMart as well! (they are discounted there, you know...)**



I will head to home depot this morning :) my husband thanks you , lol !

I feel the same way girl!!! I had to email Fifi and tell her how wonderful it is!! Finally, a magazine that I love again, and it's been awhile ~ I found mine at the book store but have even seen it at W-mart. It's one of those we're gonna save and look through over and over again ~ have a wonderful week sweet Tracey!!! hugs and love, Dawn

I share the same addiction and also I was thinking they are all starting to look alike. I don't have a Home Depot close but my eyes are on alert at every place I stop. Thanks for the head up to a new mag. with color!

Hi Tracey
I too share your magazine addiction
A good friend reminded me that I do not smoke and only drink a glass or 2 of wine once a week. In that light, $10-15 per week is a cheap addiction! and 100% better for you!
Love you much, Gail

I'm an addict also -- magazine addict that is .... I found my copy at my local grocery store this past weekend -- I knew it was coming because I follow her blog

I'm happy to hear there is color in the magazine. I already expressed my feelings about the all grey and white trend. It looks like the institutions when I was a kid...OK I'm showing my age. I'll have to check it out. Thanks for the heads up. I have to agree the price is up there but if there aren't a ton of ads and those annoying rip out cards and also the quality of the paper is nice I'm willing to spend the extra money.

Thanks for the magazine recommendation! Will have to swing by Home Depot, but you know what that means . . . A lot more than just one little magazine will bw in my cart!

I just heard about this a week ago and picked mine up Saturday at Barnes & Noble. Love, love, love it !! I've always been a magazine lover and so many of my favorites are gone now. I wish Fifi much success with this one.
