Are there any good T to T magazines ?

17 years ago

The reason I asked is ..... I got a really cheap subscription (on special for 8 issues for $5 ) to Better Homes and Gardens Magazine. OMG ..... this is TOTALLY NOT ME. I hate seeing houses that are so perfect ... ugh !

Is there a magazine for us people that like to decorate on a shoestring and have a house that looks lived in ????

Now there's an idea. Maybe we all should start one!
The trouble would be finding advertisers. They like to put their ads in publications that show how to use their products. I suppose we could talk the liquor people into it, lol. Or coffee!
Have you ever seen Ready Made? I used to enjoy it but they kept making remarks about how this isn't your mothers what ever and other kind of ageist stuff and I just got sick of it. Too bad cuz a lot of the articles are very good. How to re use, make chairs out of pallets for example. I wrote them a letter explaining that is why i didn't renew my subscription (I was nice about it) but I still get their on line newsletter. It occured to much later that they may have printed my letter which I actually didn't intend so I hope not.
Here is the link to their site.

I was just thinking the same thing today while I was looking at WalMart's selection of magazines - probably 10 related to Scrapbooking and not a DARN ONE having to do with T to T!

Can't find any good chicken wire........
Q
Comments (8)
Thanks Judith and More to grow, I never use chicken wire for chickens....lol! It would never hold up to varmints. My run is covered with utility wire (12 guage), and then covered with 1/2" hardware cloth. I do use chicken wire around my garden, only to keep out the bunnies. I mostly use the chicken wire to protect my trees from bunnies and deer. But all the stuff I'm seeing out there is like aluminum foil......it's totally too flimsy. And sometimes the chicken wire I use around my garden lasts forever, and sometimes it rusts in one year. Seems like the way they make chicken wire is very inconsistent. Hmmmmm....stucco wire? I'll have to look into that. I do use concrete reinforcing wire for tomato cages......but it's pretty substantial, with 6x6" holes.

Hi Thankyou for your input, heres the deal, this "licensed" electrician did an upgrade, we had a labeled panel previously, in my opinion he did an extremely half ass job, two of our previous breakers are not even hooked up inside the panel, 1 for our pool another for an outdoor gfi by the pool. can't trip either, no juice. Im pissed I now know he did things a bit illegal to avoid waitng for poco, and we are currently waiting for municipal inspection, I called him with my concerns regarding the unmarked panel and possible inspection failure , he was arrogant told me to let him worry about it, said he was too busy to argue and inevietably hung up on me. I want to call the inspector myself RIGHT NOW and have him come out and see what this panel looks like, I do not want to give that electrician the opportunity to come out right before to fix things up, he has left tis like this for 2 weeks now. BTW I just figured out that the pool and outdoor gfi are not hooked up,as I was trying to label the panel MYSELF, this mofo should have done it, isn't that part of his job ??? bear in mind this was a ca$h job, he pushed hard to get it done , my guess is he needed cash quick, hurried to get it done and is not concerned any longer, my biggest mistake besides hiring him, was paying him in full,reagrding the handling of this situation, what would YOU do?????

I didn't get any Fuji apples last year and don't expect any this year
Q
Comments (2)
I have a golden delicious which is a good pollinator but the warm up last year and this year caused the buds to swell and then it was followed by an artic blast with the addition of high winds which killed the flower buds. There were now flowers on the fuji last year and I think the same thing has happened this year. I just read that the cherry blossoms in Washington DC where damaged from the cold too. Local peach tree growers were trying to save some of the peaches by burning barrels of wood in the orchards like they sometimes do in Florida with the orange trees.

Yep - beading and scrapbooking . That's about all I see . The few craft magazines I look at have mostly "kids crafts" in them . We need a good T to T magazine !

I love Country Living magazine. They often feature homes with mismatched second hand or antique furniture. They also have an interesting "steal this" feature where they tell you how the homeowner made something or what you could use to achieve the same look. A lot of the homes featured use curb finds, garage sale treasures and flea market pieces.

Another favorite is Do It Yourself. They have some great ideas for repurposing things and restyling furniture and home decor items.

But I think a lot of people will be happy to find Flea Market Style magazine when it starts publication. It is the brain child of Ki Nassauer who was half of the Junk Market Style book duo with Sue Whitney until they went their separate ways. Sue Whitney retained the Junk Market Style name and Ki Nassauer is creating a Junk Revolution. The magazine should be released in early spring 2010. You can keep tabs on it at her blog at the link below.
