I will admit that I was a bit skeptical of yet another online magazine created by bloggers but I have to admit when I’m wrong and say that yours is one of my favorites because it feels like you are conversing amongst friends along with being well-rounded and encompassing of many fields. Great job and good luck with future issues.

amazing ! i love it, great job ( and i m secretly in love with the dog on the cover, so cute !)
You have done such an elegant, beautiful, and polished job on this! I am planning to read all issues and borrow ideas left, right, and center! Hooray!
Read through it last night and was struck, and a little overwhelmed almost, by how much it seemed like a magazine written for and by girls just like me. I only wish I’d had it in high school, when I thought I was the only girl looking for more information about Babe Paley!
WELL DONE my friend, well done!!!! xo
Bravo! Savored each page! Can’t wait for the next one!
Congrats Katie! What a wonderful accomplishment darling. I will surely be an avid reader and tell all my pals to do the same :) Bravo!
It looks so marvelous. I can’t wait to sit down at home and flip through the digital pages! Congrats!
You knocked it out of the park!!! I posted the cover with a link to the mag so my readers can click right over.
Horray for YOU!

The layout and style are completely gorgeous and inspired! Impeccable taste, love it.
Congrats! Looking forward to reading the rest–I just finished the article with Anna Bond (love her). I’m so very inspired by people following their passions. Well done!
Such a wonderful way to spend a snowy morning, with a cup of tea and hours of great eye candy. Already anticipating the next edition. Wonderful!

Matchbook is fantastic! All your hard work has really paid off, congratulations!!
Ah! The wait is finally over! And was totally worth it!
After a bit of a rough week, going through the Matchbook pages was a refreshing and wonderfully pleasing experience! Thanks!
Amazing work Katie, and Co. ;)
It’s so good! Great job!
Katie, I am so impressed and COMPLETELY inspired by the work the whole Matchbook Team has put into this first issue. There is so much good material, I need to go back and re-read it all AGAIN. Scouring the pages of Matchbook with a warm drink is officially going to be a monthly habit! Just lovely lovely lovely.
So very inspired by you!

Truly a great read- loved the long interviews
And all the fashion!
Congrats! Cannot wait to pour over it. It looks amazing.
Congratulations Katie – you, Jane and Fallon must be just thrilled – you all did a fabulous job! Can’t wait to congratulate you in person!!
congrats, it’s eye candy to look at and wonderful to read– I need to get myself some westie bookends!!
Katie, what an amazing premiere issue! I read it cover to cover and loved every bit. I’ve been a fan of your blog and to see you take your passion to the next level is fabulous. Thank you for sharing and connecting with all the Matchbook girls~there are quite a lot of us I’m happy to see. :) Some of my favorite things in the issue~editor’s wish list (i ordered the ideal bookshelf print) and am reading Penguin by Design right now. Whitney Pozgay is darling and what a dream to have Kate Spade for an aunt! I am stationery obsessed so Mr. Boddington’s was perfection. Peru is on my destination list, loved the quotes by each contributor and the “contents of handbag” prints is such a clever idea. Can’t wait to see what else you have in store! Sincerest thanks and congratulations, Susan
Congratulations! This must be a dream come true. If this were an after-school special the lesson would be: hard work and talent pays off!
