I haven't seen Daphne's Diary on the local newsstand in a few months, so I was happy to find a nice stack of this new issue at my local Barnes and Noble last week. This is by far the most charming magazine in print these days, and it's like finding a lovely surprise gift every time I come across a new one.
No doubt one reason I love this English version of the magazine, which is published in the Netherlands, is that every single issue has something about teatime in it, whether that's through crafts, recipes or just the teawares themselves. This time, the free sticker page inserted in the magazine has a teapot on it. Fun!
And while I don't decorate in the Shabby Chic style much anymore, I must say I never tire of looking at photos of this style of white furnishings and pink rose decor. So, so pretty.
Because this magazine is published in the Netherlands, it often includes products (especially styles of teaware) I've never seen before. Isn't this tea set pretty? It's just a photo from a page that includes a poem, but it caught my eye. This issue also shows a style of pottery teapot I've not seen before, and there's a punch-out Japanese lantern that has a teapot in the design as well. Have you come across Daphne's Diary yet? If so, what did you think?
I haven't been to a B & N since before Christmas, but whenever I get to one again, I'll look for this magazine. It sounds delightful!
ReplyDeleteI love this magazine. There are 3 Barnes & Nobles within a 20 mile radius of my home. The furthest away carries it and it's worth the trip.
ReplyDeleteGreat magazine, so pretty! I hope to pick it up when in London next month, so much cheaper there.
ReplyDeleteYou know I have never been able to find one! But...we don't have a B&N for 100 miles. Ah well...so nice of you to share yours!

I've never seen this magazine but I've not been to B&N in a while. Love the photos.
ReplyDeleteI keep looking for Daphne's diary - found once but in poor condition.....thanks for heads up - will keep trying!
ReplyDeleteI've never seen or heard of this but am definitely impressed! Thanks Angela!
ReplyDeleteHow awesome!
ReplyDeleteWouldn't you love to own a tea house or a little shed in back that you could do up totally in Shabby Chic style for a girlie tea party space all your own? I would love that....love the look but not for all days forever - my hubs wouldn't be happy about it at all....so to have my own cottage or little shed or whatever could be arranged to do it up as such..............dreamy thoughts.........
This magazine looks beautiful, Angela! Thanks for the review and your beautiful photos. Joanie
ReplyDeleteI definitely have to try harder to find this magazine! This issue looks great!
