I know it isn’t the new year just yet, but with almost 200 magazines in my collection I thought I’d start early! 
Now which one should I start with? Better Homes and Gardens Kitchen Ideas for
1958 sounds good to me! Perhaps it will give me some inspiration for The Hacienda!

Last night I was reading Holiday magazine from 1965, and now I want to go on vacation – back in time!
