Chatelaine turns 80
I bought the May issue of Chatelaine, mainly because it was thick, on sale for 1.99, and I wanted to be part of the birthday fete. I don’t buy the magazine usually– women’s magazines tend to overwhelm me with “tips”and “solutions”, rendering me altogether hopeless. Though I do make a point of reading Chatelaine‘s books pages at the grocery store checkout. But I’m pleased I got this issue, and not just because of the fabulous vintage covers. No, I was most of all delighted by the “tea time” feature, with recipes for scones, tiny sandwiches, and ice teas. Accompanied by a gorgeous photo layout, and the obligatory Henry James quote. Will be clipped and kept for life.
