Magazines

Magazines are print (not digital) unless otherwise noted.

Some magazines are shallow, some are deep. Some are ad-focused, some are content-focused. Some have relevent ads, some don’t. Those factors make a huge difference in the value of a magazine! This first list of magazines have the following three characteristics (to the best of my knowledge):

#1 The content is deep and useful

#2 The content is more promonent than the advertisements

#3 The advertisements are relevent to the content and readership.

Fine Gardening ~ quality gardening magazine.

Sew Beautiful ~ fine, heirloom sewing.

Seasons at Home ~  New! “Our mag­a­zine is for the entire fam­ily!  A God hon­or­ing mag­a­zine, you’ll find a vari­ety of dif­fer­ent top­ics that alter­nate from Titus 2 fel­low­ship, sewing, whole grain bak­ing and cook­ing, themed teas, home­school­ing, sec­tions for father/son by the Wise Guy, John
Pow­ers and more!”

Also publishes the Joyous Home Journal a digital magazine~ “The Joy­ous Home Jour­nal has many lovely and fun things our mag­a­zine
has.  Each issue will fea­ture a vari­ety from some of our most loved home­mak­ing skills:  Sewing, quilt­ing, bak­ing with whole grains,
themed teas, projects for father and son, arti­cles of encour­age­ment, home­school­ing and more.”
