They have become my personal magazines as I rarely buy periodicals anymore. One can only take so much of angry looking models in outrageously priced clothing!<br /><br />You were once a visitor to my blog. I try to write about fashion, memories, museums, etc. Please visit me again.<br /><br />Donna at alovelyinconsequence.blogspot.comA Lovely Inconsequencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15609925729312148318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4130537499074859934.post-39910142696105023532013-12-24T12:36:11.946+13:002013-12-24T12:36:11.946+13:00Oh, I'm so glad to see you are blogging again!...Oh, I'm so glad to see you are blogging again! :) Thank you for linking to my blog, I'm looking forward to catching up with your posts! :) love, Tina xxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4130537499074859934.post-71390014345439592292013-12-24T06:38:00.948+13:002013-12-24T06:38:00.948+13:00Oh Fiona, I found another blog you might like.

And I love Janet's blog too. Along with Adrienne's (The Rich Life on a Budget), these three are the ones I have continuously read and come back to since day one of blogging. Otherwise, I go in spurts. For a long time I was reading minimizing blogs, then fashion/lifestyle blogs, sometimes photography blogs. Lately, I have cut waaaaay back on blog reading (and writing) altogether--it can all be easily overwhelming and time consuming. Instead I have been reading books, learning water color and re-learning my French.<br /><br />Keep it up, Fiona. You always make me think...and smile.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4130537499074859934.post-81700020265288665422013-12-18T04:35:45.575+13:002013-12-18T04:35:45.575+13:00Thank you so much, Fiona!
