Thank You! I hope it works! I think I have every issue.
 
Oh Dawn, can this be true? This would be a wonderful treat. I was just going through some old editions days ago and would love it if she would.

I loved your beautiful collage Dawn. Beautiful just like everything you do!
love to you...

September 23, 2011 at 10:51 PM 
I remember when her magazines were off the shelf that she hoped to find another publisher. I used to love her magazine until the last year or so when I think they lost their way and tried to look like every other magazine. I missed her old covers. Really wishing they would bring it back like it used to be!

September 23, 2011 at 11:07 PM 
Hello Dawn, Hope she brings it back. Loved this magazine. Still have several of my favorite issues.


September 23, 2011 at 11:30 PM 
Thanks so much for posting this! I just left my comment! It would be heavenly if this magazine came back!!!!

September 24, 2011 at 12:09 AM 
It would be a Dream come true ~ went & posted immediately, I think it was My Favorite magazine, Only to be topped by any of the Somerset Magazines~ Thanks for sharing!
 
Dawn, you were so sweet to stop by and leave such kind comments. I saw your latest post and are so glad you brought it to our attention.
Mary Engelbreit is such an inspiration. I have always admired her featuring artists of all kinds in her magazine. Not to mention everything else she offers. I'm so excited...off to let them know I would love to subscribe again.
Have a wonderful weekend. Bobbie

I did enjoy it very much and have lots of my old issues! Thanks Dawn for letting us know! :)

September 24, 2011 at 2:50 AM 
Yes! I follow her blog and thought I saw that post pop up before I logged off yesterday. That would be so great if they did bring it back!

September 24, 2011 at 6:12 AM 

I loved this magazine... I still have all my issues.
Home Companion was always a cheery magazine full of colour and inspiration.

I really like the sense of cottage and whimsy an artsy-ness that was in the magazine. So I went and commented. I would definitely subscribe!

September 24, 2011 at 8:04 AM 
Well, I have never seen this magazine but it sure looks like one I would buy:) Have a blessed FALL weekend dear Dawn, HUGS!

September 24, 2011 at 8:32 AM 
Thank you for the info!! I left a comment there - what a gift that would be to have this magazine back in publication!

September 24, 2011 at 11:11 AM 
Yay! I have missed Mary's color, playfulness and inspiration! Off to comment! :)

September 24, 2011 at 11:28 AM 
When this popped up on Facebook, I let out a whoop! I hope, hope, HOPE her magazine starts up again. Have a great weekend. Sally

September 24, 2011 at 1:10 PM 
Oh my I loved that magazine and cried like a baby when it left! How exciting that it may return!!! Thanks for letting us know Dawn and have a very happy weekend!

September 24, 2011 at 2:15 PM 
Ohhh that would be wonderful, thanks for the heads up on this one Dawn.

September 24, 2011 at 6:50 PM 
Now that is exciting news! That was my fav. magazine ever. I've kept all of my old copies and get them out every now and then to pour over them.

September 24, 2011 at 9:24 PM 
Thank you, Dawn! I've saved every copy of Home Companion since it began, and was so disappointed when they stopped publishing it!
