I’ve started collecting magazines as well! They are a wonderful view into that time. You have also inspired me to keep a common place book as well. Videos are always a treat. Thank you
I've bought a few of your books and absolutely love them. I also love your TH-cam videos. As someone who lives by the old ways, your channel is a cherished part of my day when I get to watch a new video.
The problem I’m having is finding the good housekeeping magazines before the 1920s-1930s. Not impossible obviously, just harder. Especially in my small town and even on etsy I have a harder time finding them. When I find them though I grab them. I go to estate sales just for the old magazines.
I love antique magazines! I got a Canadian edition of the Delineator and it had the address where you could make a subscription in my city! It was so exciting to see my city in this antique magazine to me :)
You inspire me a lot. Since I've been following you, I've specialized my lifestyle even more in the context of the 1930s. I'm writing this by the light of an oil lamp, by the way. Thank you so much. The only electrical devices I use regularly are the refrigerator, telephone and computer. Otherwise I wouldn't be able to see you. 😊 There are more people who live in other eras.
I've seen music magazines like the Etude, if I remember correctly, and agree that much can be learned about the past from vintage magazines. I delighted in your beautiful dress and dear kitty joining in, as well.
Such delightful videos and I love the history you present. I would love the old Good Housekeeping and the likes of those kinds. Will have to do some research. As I write this on a smart phone and found you in a smart phone I say that I dislike immensely all the tech stuff and the modern world and avoid it as much as possible. Thank you
Scandalous! Kissing on Camera in the 1890s! Just kidding, you two are adorable. I love reading Victorian and Edwardian magazines like the Ladies' Home Journal and Illustree la Mode (even if I know very little French, I still enjoy looking at the pictures and sewing patterns and advertisements... As well as using google translate to help because I read them digitally 😅). It's just interesting to see all the kinds of new technology of the time, what kind of soaps, performes, medicine and foods were recommended for people to buy, as well as stories from day-to-day lives of people long-gone, the question they were sending to these magazines in the mail and what replies and advice they got... I may be not so interested in the 21st Century magazines as a 23 year old (I tried in my early teens, but I just didn't feel connected to the style of writing, the talk of modern celebs I've never heard about, and that stuff about beauty products that I wasn't interested in at the time... I also have oily, acne-prone skin and a lot of the products in the mid 2010s would either dry my skin too much or cause if to become even more oily... Thank god, I've found stuff that works for me as an adult Turns out, cleansing and moisterizing is the key! - as well as occasionally mixing Queen Victoria natural beautifying routine, which included washing the face and eyes in green and green teas... It's quite relaxing for both the face and the mind, if you ask me), but it's always fun to return to this little cocoon of 19th and early 20th century knowledge-searching.
Since the 1980s, I couldn't even look at a cover of the modern Cosmopolitan magazine. Absolute trash. BTW - I have an antique book of etiquette and fashion from the 1890's that was meant for wealthy women. It's in beautiful condition and has color tinted photographs. I've owned this book since I was a teenager in the 1960s, and it provided me with a great view of upper class life during the "gilded age". I would love to find reproductions of women's magazines from that period - working class, middle class and wealthy. It would be interesting!

THANK YOU so much for your support!
It's wonderful that both of you are equally dedicated to the old ways. Enjoyed the video and your room setting.

I've been collecting Lady Godey's magazines for several years. It's so fun to get information from the horses mouth.
Wow I really liked the quote from the Cosmopolitan

It was wonderful seeing both of you and hearing your comments. I love vintage newspapers and books. There is so much to learn.

Fantastic video as always, and I keep thinking, I thought there were magazines for everything now. Not like there were back then.
Great video and thank you so much for sharing that wonderful information .
I love your romance ❤ so cute
Thank you. Good to see you again and nice to see Gabe. Met you both years ago in Port Townsend

Don't forget Delineator
Where would you find these "old magazines"?
Antique stores and eBay and Etsy.
Couldn’t newspapers from around the Victorian era be the same thing too?
