still missing domino and blueprint
Well, they replaced my Cottage Living with Southern Accent and I really didn't like it...couldn't figure out why that had survived and others hadn't.
There was such a magazine?
I'm subscription-shy since FOUR of my major subs (Country Home, Domino, Cottage Living, Mary Engelbreit) went under --the 'replacement' mags I'm getting are far inferior, bordering on insulting. One of my subs went under right after they accepted my renewal -- bad form, IMHO.
I never really thought Souther Accents was that great....I'm surprised it lasted this long.
While I never *like* to see anything related to the interiors business fold, but c'mon, Southern Accents was pretty tired.
Big fan of Garden & Gun magazine (don't cringe, it's more garden, food and lifestyle <incl. interior design> than gun!) Plus, it has a much more real people slant -- and, dare I say -- hipper read?
My grandma would possibly miss it, I don't.
