I met her at Marshall Field's in Chicago, Illinois when the book "Charms of Tea" came out. One of the women who was working with her questioned me about my fondness for the magazine because I'm Black. I didn't think about the magazine racially (apparently there was some dumb unnecessary race issue that I hadn't heard of; nor did I care about), only how with every issue that came in the mail, I'd stop what I was doing and sit down and read it cover to cover. It was the most beautiful magazine ever created. It actually changed my world and outlook on life. I still own and cherish every single issue with the original editor. I don't know why it changed me and my friends, but we were better for it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05985119791475832019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8872311876774301849.post-11417969991267119032014-12-07T12:31:12.014-08:002014-12-07T12:31:12.014-08:00Are there ads in the dvd's?Are there ads in the dvd's?Ms. Peacockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15493150918008984526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8872311876774301849.post-5620257296497415002014-06-15T20:24:56.022-07:002014-06-15T20:24:56.022-07:00Thank you for posting this very fond memory!

They were SO "...I LOVED my VICTORIA magazines. They were SO "civilized". I looked forward to them and read them cover to cover and tried to incorporate their pages into MY everyday life. I kept all my issues for so long, and that was through many moves. Eventually I got rid of them. Then, luckily, someone offered all their saved collection for my classroom at school. I taught art and was always badgering people for magazines. I reread them and it was like meeting an old friend. I could remember where I had been in my life when I read specific articles long ago yet again. And like a subliminal message, I could see where in my home and life I had incorporated ideas seen long ago without even realizing it! I cut out articles that were particularly pleasing to me and things that I did not want to lose yet again. I scanned into my computer every single illustration so that I would not lose them again. I have a shoebox filled with those articles and photos and a folder on my computer filled with images. They are a real comfort to peruse. VICTORIA magazine was a huge part of my life in my formative years as a new housewife.
