Kathy, me too! I decided I needed a mother's day treat. It is that and more. I had been checking them out from the library, but I just had to have my own with no due date. :) It really is a great feeling to sit and relax and see everyone smiling and inspiring and encouraging.

My issue came last week and I saved it for evening then sat up extra late reading! I finished it over the next two 'bedtime' reads, stretching it out, savoring. It feels so good in the hand (the paper finish). I hadn't thought about the possibility that the magazine would now have ads, but they are so in keeping with the spirit of it all, that they blend right in.
Karin, it was wonderful to get to see you and see your grand-prize pinkeeper! Lovely photograph of you.
The story that touched me the most was about the little boy, Ray, who loved to dance. Talk about showing up and letting spirit shine through!
Every spread of pages is a delicious feast for eye and heart, filled with loving details - little borders that look like embroidery, vintage larks flying skyward, lovely assortments of fonts like juicy lifesavers, wallpaper backgrounds, easy-on-the-eye white space, beautiful photographs, drop shadows, botanical drawings, captivating layouts that draw you in like a good storyteller. There are no wasted words. The stories uplift and inspire as does all the artwork. It is a jewel. Only one other magazine have I ever read, word by word, front to back, every issue (and it's no longer in publication).
If I had to sum up why I love this magazine, it's because when I read it - recipes, stories, sewing projects - it fills me with hope and hope is a great gift.
All is Well. |

I just picked up a copy at the grocery store today.
I love it!
Now I have to spend a tiny bit of my 'economic stimulus' money on a subscription!!!

customer_service@belvoir.com
Go ahead and copy us on your email:

Still checking my mailbox every day.........but stopped by Borders and found copies. I got two! Had to take a sneak peek in the store, but I look forward to reading it. Check out the very last page! :) I dearly love seeing my name in MJF magazines, and I also love seeing the names of so many familiar folks!
Karin - you look so pretty in the magazine! But you look pretty in person, too.

I just got my copy today at Barnes and Noble and I literally cannot put it down. This one is different. A little more antiquey looking? It is just a beautiful-informative and fun magazine! Thank you for putting so much hard work and thought into this issue. And to think another one hits the newsstands in July! Thank you! Susan |

I got mine the day I left for Pennsylvania, so I had to wait until I got home to read it. My husband told me on the phone that it was there and he was reading it first. He knows how long I have been waiting for a new MJF mag!! I am almost afraid to read it all since it will seem like an eternity until another one gets here!! It is gorgeous and full of life affirming information.

I got my copy in the mail today and I must say I am not disappointed in what I have seen but then I have not had a chance to read all of it. Of course I'm sure I won't be disappointed in the rest. I love all her magazines.

Mine came today, along with another from the farm. (Thank you, MaryJane and Meg!) And since I went to Barnes and Noble and got three copies, that makes 5 in all. :) I can keep a copy in every room! No, not really. I will be giving them to friends so that they can see exactly why they need to be farmgirls!!
This issue is extraordinary in its beauty. Every page I read confirmed why I love MaryJane so much! She is my inspiration and has given me courage to forge ahead with the confidence that I so sorely lack. I am very grateful to have her as a friend.

My copy arrived about 4 days ago. I am just so impressed with it. It is different from any other magazine I have ever read(and believe me I read a lot!!). I am so glad I subscribed. I loved Frannie's article in there and all the pictures of her beautiful dolls. It is every bit as beautiful as her books.

Mine arrived the other day, but since my DH picked up from the PO and forgot to tell me it was in, I just got it yesterday and too busy to read it. Tomorrow for sure! Looks nice on the quick glance I gave it.

Could not wait and I was NOT disappointed....Now for the 2nd wonderful read where I can take deep breathes. imagine me doing the wonderful things she has in her magazine, and digest her essence and being a farm girl---Can you relate???? |
