August | a final thought

From Am I Overthinking This by Michelle Rial (Chronicle Books)

We’ve reached the end of our August ‘Promise’ issue. September is winging its way to your shops and doormats as we speak.

We had some hot days in August here at Simple Things Towers. We hope you were lucky enough to get some nice weather (and a few ice creams ), too! Here’s an illustration from our August back cover to raise an end-of-summer smile.

June | a final thought

We’ve reached the end of our June issue this week. We' hope you’ve enjoyed reading it as much as we enjoyed making it.

Here’s the image from our back cover: in many ways a poignant one this month. With all the bad and frightening things there are in the world, a reminder to take action while remaining calm and staying angry (in a useful and positive way) is pretty timely. We were remided that it’s ‘doing’ that changes things, even when our actions may be quiet and small.

Our July issue is out soon. We can’t wait to share it with you.

Final thought | May

Am I overthinking this?

Our May issue is almost at an end now. We’ve loved this very special issue, which was put together slightly on the hoof, from our homes and gardens and using old ideas, and new, and a lot of imagination. It was certainly unlike any issue we’ve made before and is one we’ll all remember. We hope you enjoyed it, too.

Here’s something from our May issue to make you smile, reprinted from Am I Overthinking This? by Michelle Rial (Chronicle Books).

The May Inspire issue is still in the shops for a few more days but you can continue to order it from our online store, of course, if you missed it.
