Home Companion Magazine

oh. my. heavens. I think – no, I know that I am slightly in an euphoric state of mind. All due to the discovery of discoveries. The ying to my yang. The peanut butter to my jelly.

I have found for the first time (don’t laugh) the website of Mary Engelbreight’s Home Companion magazine.

And I am in love. Most of you will be like – duh, that’s been around for – like – ever. And that may be true. I don’t know. What I do know is that IT IS SUPER COOL.

Most days, I pour over magazines and websites that feature modern and sleek design. But let’s be honest – I can only incorporate so much of that “newness” into my own 1974 home. We need a little traditional infusion to keep it down to earth. And Home Companion features traditional digs – sometimes they even have a little southern style 🙂 like this – TA DA!

Click on the pic – make it bigger – awe over the spring-timey kitch. It is just lovely!

The best part of the website though is….

drum roll please…

the HANDS ON – HANDMADE Section.

Oh – I wish I was a better seamstress – then I could make these:

I think I will attempt them anyway 🙂 That and I want to make the tag-alongs, carefree coasters, hang it up for the holidays hangers, and eyeglass cases! Oh the home-made goodness is overwhelming!

Let me know if you see something on there that strikes your fancy – and if you have ever attempted the crafts – I want to see end results – PRETTY PLEASE!
