Celebrate Spring!


I am a magazine addict, yes, I am. But in the name of frugality, I have tried to wean myself away from most of them. Today though, I saw one that I just couldn't resist: Celebrate Spring! It is published by the same wonderful company that now publishes Victoria and Southern Lady. (oh, and you know Southern Lady is my Favorite!!!) www.southernladymagazine.com
Celebrate Spring is just fantastic! It is filled with wonderful party themes, decorating ideas and tons of yummy recipes. You will find ideas for everything from Easter to Mother's Day, not to mention some fun party themes for April Fools Day and even a plant swap luncheon. I really loved the Monogram Shower idea at which any bride to be would be thrilled to be the honoree. I can't wait until the Celebrate Summer hits store shelves! My hat is off to Phyllis Hoffman and her team...another wonderful mini-vacation lies between the covers of this magazine!
I picked up my copy at Sams Club (Sams has discounted magazines and this one is a bit pricey -though worth it- at a retail cost of $7.99. I got my copy for a very reasonable $5.58 at Sams). You can get one online at:

  4. I love all of Phyllis Hoffman's publications...and you're right...each mag is like a mini-retreat! I save all of them and reread them.

  5. Love these publications as well. They are also on the end cap at Barnes and Noble, but you'll pay the pricey tag. Good to hear from ya! Where you been Julia?

  6. Bella, You have a lovely blog yourself! I flipped through that magazine at the bookstore yesterday and it made me want to have a Spring party! You're a Georgia girl aren't you?! I grew up in Peachtree City, GA myself.

    Happy Spring!

  8. Oh, I saw this one, too, but I already had in my hands the "Southern Lady" one and it had some things I really wanted to read. I've gone for a long time without buying many magazines, but maybe it's a little inexpensive pleasure that is soothing these days? Because I find myself unable to resist them again. I'll get through my S. Lady and WW recipe one and then I'll pick it up!

  11. I LOVE magazines and stay away from the book store in our town because when I go in ~ I usually walk out with about $50 in magazines and not one book.
    Southern Lady is on my favs too!
    Hope you have a wonderful weekend.
    Blessings,
    Sandy
