I was cleaning out under our stairs this morning and I uncovered my mother's old Victoria magazines, with little more wear than dust on the covers. I persuaded her we should sell them(she hasn't looked at them in YEARS) to add to our family vacation fund and to give us some much needed storage space. I figured we could probably get at least $20 on Kijiji for the set (she probably has around 40 or more, from winter '87-'88, '88, '89, '90,'91,'92, '93, '94, and '96). Apparently sellling them was the right idea! Can you imagine if we'd just thrown them out?! I was wondering if you could possibly help me out by giving me an idea of how much each issue could be sold for. Your advice would be a HUGE help! <br />Thanks so much,<br />Lauren Laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05369436807703144671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1934579070684149103.post-84370910482141623532012-11-19T12:38:31.527-06:002012-11-19T12:38:31.527-06:00I was just reading this and am completely amazed a...I was just reading this and am completely amazed and excited that they sell for so much! This morning as I was cleaning out under our stairs I uncovered my mother's old collection of Victoria magazines, sitting gathering dust. I persuaded her we should sell them om Kijiji (she hasn't looked through them in YEARS) for two reasons: so that we can have some much needed storage room, and to put the money away for our vacation fund. I figured it would be MUCH better than throwing them away, and that we could probably get at least $20. Apparently I was right! I was just wondering if you could help me out: how much could each issue could be sold for?

I love the white bedding but would certainly prefer an older crochet trim rather than lace. The dress, not so much. I still look through so many of my old magazines when time permits. I still draw ideas from them, I only need pick them up & open the pages. Love how your blog is looking and the lead to your website. Someone is working very hard!! Hugs.. and... looking forward to seeing your prints framed. I have one frame but need to paint it. Hugs.

I LOVE the old Victoria magazines, still my most favorite magazine of all time... thanks to two sweet ladies who helped me out, I received the couple of issues I was missing that I loaned out years ago, and now have the COMPLETE set of the old ones with Nancy Lindemeyer from 1987 through 2000 when she left... those are the truly beautiful ones... each month, I bring out all of my old issues for that month and browse through them all over again, remembering each and every one from back then... yes, I would wear all of those clothes and yes, I love all of the bedding, linens, etc... (just not the price tags on some!)...I also loved the article in the issue you posted about that was called "Prairie Memories"... I am such a nostalgia lady... every time I see vintage millinery in them, I think of you and your love for it! Wishing you a beautiful day my friend... I can just picture you gracing the pages of one of those Victorias... dressed to the nines and looking beautiful as always... xoxo Julie MarieJulie Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11351116606101921159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1934579070684149103.post-76797769976550375082012-03-16T08:38:39.056-05:002012-03-16T08:38:39.056-05:00I just gotta say it...the garden smock is hilariou...I just gotta say it...the garden smock is hilarious! People who wear stuff like this HIRE gardeners to do their gardening. Wearing an expensive smock and a big sunhat and snipping a rose here and there is not gardening. Gardening is hard, DIRTY work. You should see what I wear...a pair of my hubbin's old twill shorts...a big paint-splattered sweatshirt...and Crocs! <br /><br />Gee... do I sound a little cranky this morning? Probably because I have a flowerbed full of dead leaves and ornamental grasses that must be dealt with TODAY so that the emerging tulips have somewhere to grow. Is it just me...or is Spring especially early this year?<br /><br />LOVE the new look, Rebecca! Been meaning to tell you that.<br /><br />KathyKatyDidStitcheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10924565488913959754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1934579070684149103.post-92109735965878435672012-03-16T08:17:00.040-05:002012-03-16T08:17:00.040-05:00Oh dear...I feel so old...has it really been that ...Oh dear...I feel so old...has it really been that long?

Unfortunately I was only able to buy 4 or so issues as the newsagent decided not to stock it any longer but I remember it vividly, the beauty in each page. <br />Now I subscribe to Somerset Life and I have to say, U.K. magazines come nowhere near the level of beauty that is in American publications, you do it so well.<br />Wishes<br />LynneLynne Moncrieffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10736157248294082863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1934579070684149103.post-16389723251182080872012-03-16T08:12:53.829-05:002012-03-16T08:12:53.829-05:00My goodness, still beautiful:) I couldn't do ...My goodness, still beautiful:) I couldn't do the floral either!

I think there are a lot of us who find enjoy this classic magazine.<br /><br />I often think the same thing when I look through my older issues...it is a timeless publication. I still find lots of ideas, recipes and inspiration that I use today even after 20+ years. Isn't that amazing?! O.k., I wouldn't wear those Lanz dresses! :o) Yet, like you, I had dresses in a similar design and loved wearing them.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing your love of Victoria.<br /><br />SandraSandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02721919043603767131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1934579070684149103.post-50036541990427916822012-03-16T07:30:09.344-05:002012-03-16T07:30:09.344-05:00I think I still have this magazine downstairs, too...I think I still have this magazine downstairs, too. That was one of my favorite magazines EVER. I would do most of those things, too, but NOT the florals. I wear solids about 99% of the time, too...and a lot of black. You can dress it up or down.<br /><br />Those rooms are as lovely today as they were then. I guess it wasn't such a fad, after all. Great trip down memory lane today, Rebecca. Can it really be 20 years gone?;>O xo DianaNanaDianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14298962791700019785noreply@blogger.com
