Let’s face it – I have a serious magazine addiction that stems back to age 12 or so, when I started to believe that Seventeen magazine was speaking to ME.  I had to have my mom drive me to the local drugstore as soon as I felt the new issue was being unwrapped ….. and although I’m not buying Seventeen these days, I AM buying.  I’ve moved into the “House Porn” phase of my life.  (That’s my term, by the way.) So, I’m loving the shelter magazines: Domino, Martha Stewart Living,Cottage Living, Country Home, Traditional Home, Real Simple, and I dabble in House & Garden and House Beautiful.  HB is featuring Ina Garten these days with her own monthly column on entertaining.  Domino has really surprised me.  I figured it would be all NYC apartment living and weekend Hamptons jaunts, but there have been tons of fun things featured – this month features Paper Cup Design (a favorite letterpresser) as well a shopping guide for Portland, OR – a city I simply cannot wait to visit!  And that 12 year old who had to have the “freshly baked” issue?  No change – I still am so eager to see what’s new.  It’s the saving grace of airports for me – awesome newsstands!
