I received word on the same day my post went live this week that they're switching to a digital only (I believe) publication, so hopefully that will make this magazine even more accessible to the vintage loving community. <br /><br />Many hugs & giant thanks (I'm a huge fan of you, too!),<br />♥ JessicaWitchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-91668062435369606382015-11-18T11:42:35.699-08:002015-11-18T11:42:35.699-08:00Congratulations Jessica ! you're a true asset ...Congratulations Jessica ! you're a true asset to Lila Jean :)Lorenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16720997862417551402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-19060047209946046282015-11-17T22:04:44.143-08:002015-11-17T22:04:44.143-08:00Good for you!

I've blessed to have been interviewed by numerous magazines in recent years, but I hadn't been on the article writing side of things in eons (not since my freelance and ghost writing days back in my early 20s) and this was certainly the first piece I've ever penned for a publication about Canadian vintage shops, so it was a total blast to write. <br /><br />Big hugs & happy mid-November wishes,<br />♥ JessicaWitchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-17277067041858267732015-11-17T13:03:20.871-08:002015-11-17T13:03:20.871-08:00Isn't it though?

I have some little treasure of my grandmother, sooner or later you'll show them, I promise! vintage stores are clothes of the '70s and' 80s, but the quality is not great and for me it is not true vintage. I hope for this opportunity to find something beautiful!<br /><br />un grosso bacio<br /><br />serenaSerena S.

Please let me know where you're headed the next time you're on this side of the 49th and I will share as much info as to the vintage/thrifting scene as possibly can with you about that part of the country. I know BC, Alberta and Ontario best, having lived in those three provinces, but try to keep tabs on the whole country when it comes to vintage/thrifting, so I should be able to help provide some "must visit" shops in most parts of this vast nation. <br /><br />Wishing you a fabulous week and Thanksgiving season!<br />♥ JessicaWitchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-6242088524718695022015-11-16T16:00:57.212-08:002015-11-16T16:00:57.212-08:00Thank you so much, sweet Kate.

I only mention this in case you weren't aware of it and others were running into that issue as well. There are always bugs like that, I find, when you change blogs/blog templates, it's super normal/common.
