Features in Pretty Nostalgic Magazine

I'm pleased and proud to have been allowed to invade the pages of Pretty Nostalgic magazine once again. I know I've said it before and could be considered biased, but this is absolutely 100% my favourite magazine. I love that it's an independent publication. I love the truly passionate team behind it, all of whom are interested in some truly odd subjects, just like me. I love the articles on all things vintage, British, quirky and crafty. I love that their motto is, 'Spend Wisely, Waste Less and Appreciate More'. It's like my grandmother, my ideal lifestyle and a great big helping of patriotism all bound up and gifted to me bi-monthly.




Even better - the magazine doesn't date, so you can add your copies to your bookshelf like I do and enjoy the articles several years down the line.

This time I took part in the magazine's Hidden Streets feature, musing over those characterful spots we love to visit. I wrote about Whitby (of course) and I thought the other contributors' pieces were amazing. Such imagination.




I was also featured in an article by Kat Picot of Four Little Walls on doll's houses. Kat's piece is beautifully written.



My pub quite enjoyed the photoshoot...


...although I did have to do some miniature dusting first!

If you're an artistic sort you may be interested in taking part in Pretty Nostalgic's 'Create Our Motto' reader challenge. It looks really exciting!

  6. Congrats! I'll have to check out the magazine next time in the UK (shipping, exchange rates and foreign transaction fees are killer!).
