My Pretty Nostalgic life and why I am living it

Happy New Year!

Welcome to my blog 

This blog is my new year's resolution and is my attempt to share my life and experiences as the founder and editor of Pretty Nostalgic magazine.

I want people to understand why being pretty nostalgic is so very important to me and how it is at the very core of my existence and how it developed into my very exciting business.

Each day I strive to live in a Pretty Nostalgic way by:-

Spending Wisely, Wasting Less and Appreciating More - because I believe it is the way to a happy and satisfied life and also because I can't afford to live in any other way, I am not rich, I have no big investors in my magazine, and at the moment every penny I can get my hands on goes into helping it grow.

Through this blog I will share my world as the owner, publisher and editor of an independent magazine, as well as my life as a mum, wife, homemaker, avid bargain hunter, collector and vintage and history fanatic

First a bit about me
I founded Pretty Nostalgic in 2010, firstly as a business selling vintage and handmade and then in 2011 it evolved into an idea for a magazine which I launched in May 2012.

If you are familiar with Pretty Nostalgic magazine you will know that it just isn't like other magazines, hopefully it stands out to you for being better in many ways.  I am not a professionally trained journalist or publisher, I was a museum curator and history teacher for many years before becoming a vintage dealer, so I don't really know how to make magazines - but I am trying to do something new and I want to share how Pretty Nostalgic living inspires by life and my business.

I believe in Pretty Nostalgic living and hope you will too.......
