If you know anything about Swirly is that we love, love,
love, our magazines. See here, here & here. We especially love the Holiday
themed issues. With fewer magazines being produced we feel the need to spread
the word when we find ones that shine.
Fresh Style simple ideas
for creative living….. does just that! It shines brightly in our
book!
The courtship....
We first came across this back in 2012 when we gathered all
the Holiday issues we can find at our local bookseller etc. We prefer magazines
that have a heavier focus on creative projects, holiday décor ideas and
projects versus cooking and recipes.
With a quick glance through the pages, and seeing the inspiring creative
projects, the beautiful photography, and artist profiles, we knew this was one
for the Swirly library.
We’re dating….
Then the 2013 Holiday issue came out and we knew this was
something special. The lovely smooth quality of the cover paper stock alone is worth
picking us up an issue. It feels like “buttah”.
We are In Love….
Now we are in 2014, and we found that we were picking up
every issue, not just Holiday based…that’s big. The most recent issue is chock-full
of design eye candy with simple ideas, creative living ideas and inspiring spaces.
We highly recommend that you check out this magazine (for anyone who still misses and craves the Mary Engelbriet Home
Companion content, we think this will fill that void). We, for one, are excited to see where Fresh Style
magazine goes from here.
Fyi
We are not affiliated or have been paid by the editors of
Fresh Style to promote this magazine.
Would we love to see a marriage (story) between Swirly Designs &
Fresh Style in a future holiday issue of the magazine? YES!! Of course:) But honestly we really just want to share
with you all things that we like about it and maybe you will enjoy it as well.
Thanks for sharing, I love a good magazine (and paper weight is important!) - I so miss Mary Engelbreit!!
ReplyDeleteLori, We miss MEHC magazine too, but we think this is as good as that with Simple Ideas, Creative Living spaces and artist profiles.
DeleteI've only had the pleasure of experiencing the 2013 Holiday issue of this magazine myself, but I did like what I saw. Have you had a chance to look at Molly Makes magazine from the UK? I really like that one.
