I'm that way too with my paint mags afraid I'll miss something and if I don't subscribe I end up buying at the store and paying more in the long run. I just try to stay away from any new ones like the Hobby Farm Home I just discovered. I have boxes of the paint mags can't part with them. I do like to go back thru them looking for certain things.

OMG GeorgiaZ…that is me to a T!

I have 500 quilt magazines that were Mama's.  She must have every single quilt magazine from the last 50 years…they were all in piles on top of her dining room table.  She wanted them to be at her finger tips…LOL   When I brought all of them home I sat for days just going through them and of course found hundreds of patterns I want to make!  I put the magazines I wanted to keep in one pile, the ones to give away in another pile.  After going through them all…I just sat and cried!!!  I could NOT give away that last part of Mama…I just could not!  So, my hubby David(God love him) took pity on me and cleaned a spot out in our closet for Mama's magazines.  All 500 of them.  I feel so excited about all the projects ahead for many years to come!!!

And…I loved her Fons & Porter quilt magazines so much that STUPID me just took out a subscription for 3 years with them!!!  500 magazines just were not enough!

Hi! I love Mary Jane's Farm magazine. Alot of useful info,christmas issue is loaded with great ideas, good soups, very few ads! Love to subscribe to Country Sampler for great decorating  ideas for our old house.

We also subsribe to the Lancaster Farming newspaper,comes out weekly,great recipes and articles on farming.

You're right Flatlander about the mixes that they promote in the magazine-I don't like that also. I cook  mostly from scratch and try to utilize what I've grown or have in my pantry!

Mother Earth News is by far my favorite, then Organic Gardening, which has a recently new lay-out that I love. Better than ever. Also Green Prints, which is about gardners rather than gardening. Recently I picked up a copy of Urban Farm and I enjoyed that. I might subscribe, they offer it now.

I forgot about Acres USA and the Small Farmer's Journal.

DH enjoys a magazine called Farm Show.  It covers best and worst buys on tractors,  chain saws,  trucks, etc.  It's mainly about farm equipment and tools people have built in their home shops,  not really a  CITR magazine but it is not very well known and I thought a few people might find it of interest.  We also enjoy Backwoods Home and if you live  in West Virginia you can sign up for a free Newsletter from the Agriculture Dept that is sent out once a month.  The Newsletter is ag news and farms, livestock hay etc for sale.  I don't know if other States have something similar as you muist be a WV landowner to get this publication.  Hope everyone has had a truly happy Thanksgiving
