It’s Here!

Today was the day. 

It finally arrived.

The September Issue.

916 delicious pages ushering in the fall, and all things beauty and fashion.  A celebration of the luxurious.  And as an added bonus there are always wonderful human interest stories tucked inside. 

Heaven!

Every August I anticipate this day.  It has been my annual ritual since I was 14.  One late summer afternoon per year, this monstrosity of a magazine arrives in my mailbox, much to the chagrin of my mail carrier.  I fall to pieces.  I’m like Steve Martin in The Jerk, when his dimwitted character Navin Johnson jumps for joy at the arrival of the phone book. 

I’m serious.

I will spend my night quietly curled up in my favorite chair, with a cup of tea and my treasure in my lap.  I will study it carefully, oohing and aahing at the beautiful things that grace the pages.

I guess I’m easy to please. 

And I’m one happy girl.
