I am so BUMMED...

Just got a little card in the mail informing me that my subscription to Mary Engelbreit's Home Companion magazine was going to be replaced by Martha Stewart Living, because they were no longer publishing it anymore.





This was my VERY favorite magazine, which I always looked forward to, and I saved all my back-issues for that past four years or so that I've been subscribed.


I know what you're thinking: "don't be a f**king baby." I'm telling you, if you had been subscribed to this magazine, you'd mourn the loss of it as well. I was never a big fan of Mary Engelbreit per se, and for many years I would look askance at her magazine on the rack in the book store with all the other "real" magazines. I'm not sure how I ended up actually picking one up and looking through it.



When I did, I was very surprised to see that the magazine was not actually filled with her cornball illustrations, but instead was guided by her vintage-retro, indie-artist sensibility. The magazine always had many wonderful, color-rich photos and inspiring images, and even interviews with self-employed people in the arts and decor business.


ME Home Companion, will be very much missed!



Strangely, I just subscribed to Domino magazine, and found out TODAY that it will not be publishing anymore. Lordy.
