Bridestory, a short review?

In short, it’s the best magazine I ever found. I came across this magazine called Bridestory in my search for wedding / bridal magazines. Yes, I admit I have a soft spot for bridal magazines. They’re so romantic and heartwarming (and very usable, you know you know). I must say, this particular magazine… is the […]

Would you pull one off with vintage stuff?

This weekend I got a call from the local recycling guy, which I know well, saying that he got some shipments of old tabloids I could pick up. I got there, and bought several kilograms off him for really cheap. I spent the equivalent of $9 for roughly half a car’s boot worth of old […]

I think I’m broken… or worse, someone evil.

Honestly, I don’t know where to start. My “taste”, so to say, have evolved so many times over the years. From newspapers, catalogues, magazines, and anything in between. For most of my life, I had to make use of whatever was available, hence why the newspapers and catalogues. But as of today, I have the […]

Decisions, decisions…

I ran out of newspapers to use last week… Now, before we get there, I’m more of a newspaper kind of guy… Magazines are great, but I grew up with newspapers so that’s what gets me excited. Not just any kind of newspapers though, I’m not about to beat it to financial news or politics […]

So I just figured out one of my highschool friends is a writer for a magazine (and a newspaper), and I really regret it..

I had a friend back in high school, we were quite close as friends, but not “that” close… Pretty much never talked to her again once I started college… Last month I was buying a couple of newspapers in preparation for some my usual “weekend stuff”… I usually buy the weekend papers because they usually […]

Story time : helping my neighbour packing things (part 1) (with pictures)

I have a bad rep here for writing overly long posts, so I’ll try to keep this one shorter than usual. And put in a few pictures! My neighbour was moving out, and as I know them rather well, when they asked me to help them pack things last weekend, I immediately agreed to help […]

What’s your favourite “theme” for a picture?

This site seems to be dying by the day, so maybe I’ll post something here. I’m curious what kind of pictures or themes that really gets you going.. Do you like the studio photography kind, where everything from the model’s poses all the way to the styles are meticulously planned? Or maybe advertisements? Like a […]

I think I’ve found the holy grail

As someone new to magazines, after a lifetime of newspapers… I might have accidentally found one of the best magazine for my “certain purpose” out there. I’ll be brief. Bridal magazines. So many useable materials in one… But, eh, what do you think?

Do you ever feel certain sensations when using rare edition magazines?

TL:DR : For those who have used magazines / newspapers / whatever that are quite rare to the point of destruction…. do you feel excited or anything doing so? This popped into my thoughts some time ago when I found a tabloid with a particularly striking cover that I really liked. So I used it, […]

Quilting Magazines

Went to my favourite bookstore this weekend. They usually had troves of used books for sale, including magazines. I always prefer used magazines as they’re much more cost-effective, I don’t really need the most up-to-date editions anyway, I only need the pictures to put it bluntly. Also, I’m kind of new to magazines and I […]
