A smattering of my favorite pages from Matchbook’s premier issue which is officially LIVE. It’s been a labor of love and I am SO very thankful for your support. We really sought to create something different from exiting online magazines and I hope you see our Matchbook personality shine through the virtual pages. Happy reading!

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.

Newly Domesticated says
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!

Susan R. says
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
Victoria says
