Hi, just come across the post about the magazine, is it still possible to buy a copy of the first issue?
Hi Sue – yes, you can buy a copy of issue one here: http://prettynostalgic.co.uk/this-issue/ thank you!
Found the Magazine today in WH Smith..I LOVE it SO much.
My life has been ‘Vintage’ for years..I have always preferred Old and preloved over New…I make Fabric Brooches …Dolls..and hearts…anyhting ..but with a Vintage ‘twist’ the house is full of Vintage/pre-loved finds..and your magazine is a very welcome addition!!!
Best of Luck with the magazine.I have subscribed for the full year….will the Subscription start with issue 2? Julie xx
Hi Julie – so happy to hear you love the magazine! Would love to see some of the things you’ve made! Email editor@prettynostalgic.co.uk and your house sounds lovely
The subscription should start from issue two. I will double check for you…
I love the magazine.It is so me. We don’t have anything like it over here (New Zealand) I wish to purchase the set of 16 greeting cards that are shown inside the cover of issue one, but cannot find anywhere on your site to order them. Also, can you tell me what the postage would be thanks. A subscription will be next…plenty of inspiration to keep me doing what I have always done, all encapsulated in your book. Fantastic
