New! The Simple Things
It was such a treat to hear from Lyndsey Mayhew, who heads up Marketing for UK crafty mag, Mollie Makes. Lyndsey is currently a student of mine in my online course, Blogging Your Way, and wrote in to thank me for the class which was such an honor to know that she enjoyed it so much.
Lyndsey then told me about a new venture in addition to Mollie Makes… A magazine called The Simple Things that will soon be published in print as a sister title beginning in the UK on September 6th.
About the magazine, “The Simple Things is a new monthly print magazine celebrating the things that matter most. It’s about knowing the greatest rewards come from the simplest things, that there’s no satisfaction like that at the end of a long muddy walk, no pink so pretty as freshly-cut rhubarb, no perfume to compare with your own home-grown flowers. It’s about making warm inviting homes – big or small – sharing food with friends, growing your own vegetables. It’s about shopping for a coffee table only to find you’re happy with a tea chest. It’s keeping your dad’s old typewriter just because it’s beautiful. It’s an empty beach on a Sunday morning. It’s backpedaling.” So many sweet thoughts!
Lyndsey wanted to show decor8 readers a glimpse of the pre-launch mag cover and some views of the inside of the magazine, which you can also view online here. Congrats to Lyndsey and her crew on their latest adventure!

As a maker who also embraces living simply and lovely, I’m so excited for the launch of this magazine. In a world that typically can be fast paced, a bit of simplicity and consciously surrounding ourselves with the things that matter most can create a quietness that I believe so many of us crave and appreciate. Thank you for sharing!
Warmly,

Mollie Makes is one of my favourite magazines so I will certainly be checking out The Simple Things. My word for 2012 is Simplify in life and business and I’ve been taking a step back to notice those little things that make life special so this is perfect for me.

Best of luck, Lyndsey! I’d love a magazine like this in the states. I suppose Kinfolk comes close in some ways, as does Taproot if you crave a more natural approach, but something tells me it’s not quite the same.

Fantastic! I already enjoy Mollie Makes so I’ll have a look into this one as well. Thanks for the heads up.

Ahhh, Holly, you beat me to it on this post. I discovered The Simple Things only last night but I didn’t realise it was my fellow student Lyndsey Mayhew. I’m so excited for the first issue!

The magazine “sounds” amazing!
The description only made me want to buy it right now :)
July 30th, 2012 at 10:24pm
Wow sounds like a lovely magazine and almost like my blog too.
I am a seeker of all things nice, colourful, pretty & stylish. My blog gathers together things from my everyday personal life & tries to sprinkle a little happiness into other peoples lives…. Happiness is the simple things in life which we all cherish so sounds like this magazine is going to be brillant :)
All things nice…
