Introducing The Simple Things

thesimplethings August 5, 2012

So glad you found us! The Simple Things is a new monthly print magazine celebrating the things that matter most. It’s about knowing the greatest rewards come from the simplest things, that there’s no satisfaction like that at the end of a long muddy walk, no pink so pretty as freshly-cut rhubarb, no perfume to compare with your own home-grown flowers. It’s about making warm inviting homes – big or small – sharing food with friends, growing your own vegetables. It’s about shopping for a coffee table only to find you’re happy with a tea chest. It’s keeping your dad’s old typewriter just because it’s beautiful. It’s an empty beach on a Sunday morning. It’s backpedalling.

The Simple Things is from the creators of the UK's best selling handmade title, Mollie Makes, and will be on sale in the UK on September 6 2012. Can't wait? Then take a look inside The Simple Things in our sneak peek sampler!

You can make sure you don't miss the first issue of The Simple Things by taking advantage of our special pre-launch subscription offer 3 issues for £5.

So, what do you think? We would love to hear. Just scribble in the comments below or pop over to our Facebook page & chat to us on Twitter.

Exciting!

The Simple Things

Taking time to live well

We celebrate slowing down, enjoying what you have, making the most of where you live, enjoying the company of of friends and family, and feeding them well. We like to grow some of our own vegetables, visit local markets, rummage for vintage finds, and decorate our home with the plunder. We love being outdoors and enjoy the satisfaction that comes with a job well done.
