Magazine musings and a little look back.....

This was one of my favorite magazines and then of course
they dropped it.
I loved how they would always feature
someones collection and these
seaside sirens were amazing!


I wish I was doing just this....


great bathroom

this was the August/September issue in 2004
and when we got it I was having a hard time
with a girls name.....and there it was Emilia.
Did any of you have a hard time picking names
for your kids?
Love this next home....

This is how I'm going to decorate the store

    Oh what gorgeous pictures! The sirens are sooooo cute and I like the whiteish kitchen.

    I could be sitting in those chairs too.......but very cold, grey and wet here, so will have to wait a bit! he he!

    Have a great rest of day Heidi!

    I loved that magazine, too, Heidi. It's a shame that they had to quit.

    Kid's names - of the three girls Brenda's was the hardest. We argued that one out until the nurse was standing there with a clipboard waiting - 4 days. I refused to name her what he wanted!!!! I'm glad I did because I like her name.

    I loved that magazine too! It took me almost 2 years to locate an address where I could buy it up here. No prices are given guessing what happened next :-(. Then I bought a few magazine on ebay, old issues, for only 1,99 for 4. But I forgot to ask shipping costs before, so the seller send them the very easy way, that the magazines were collected at her home...I paid almost 50 bucks for that....that was the end of my adventures concerning Mary Engelbreit's magazine! I'll tell you about kid's names some other time!

    Dear Heidi,

    the sirenes are absolutely wonderful and so vintage. I love such things!
    I think you wrote from my bread tins od bread bins wizh the rose decors - in germany we call them "Brotkasten". French enamelware is the best but the most expensive too. I saw danish enamelware in other blogs and love them too. And I know the french bowls, the antique ones are gorgeous but although expensive for me. French antiques are so pretty and I would love to have more. Please look at my post "Brocante und Colmar im Elsass" - there you can see some windows from french antique shops with beautiful things.

    much lovely greetings,
    Tanja

    That looks wonderful - just the kind of thing I love! I have just taken out a second subscription (shock, horror!) to BBC Homes and Antiques, which has similar collection features.

    Dear Heidi,

    the ceramics with the forget-me-nots is from a german manufacture called "Max Roesler". This manufacture only existed from 1893 til 1923. In this limited time the manufacture produced many pretty kitchenalia with beautiful floral decors. It is rare and mostly expensive, but so nice. My passion for it begun as I met my husband who has the 4 pots on my last picture from his grand-grandma. It is not his taste but it is from his family and he loves it as I do.

    warm greetings,
    Tanja

    Oh Heidi,

    you made my day! I´m laughing so loudly about your answer!
    My husband has a very different taste as I. And he had some ugly furniture too. He had!
    As we married, we took from both sides the best furnitures (mostly mines´s, hehe) and bought something new. And from his parents we got beautiful antique furnitures for our dining room. My father-in-law loves antiques as I do.
    The ugliest item from my husband was a poster from the two old men of the muppet show! Can you believe it? It was hanging over his bed! Uhhh! He said with a big grin that he want to hang it in our new house over the bed too. I was absolutely shocked. I don´t know where this ugly poster is now but it is definitely not in our living space - thanks god!
    But my husband can be so sweet. He don´t like pink but he bought me a pink refrigarator and to my birthday a pink kitchenaid - so sweet!

    lovely greetings again,
    Tanja
