Frankie magazine is one of my current obsessions. I stumbled upon Frankie back in Fall 2012 when I was browsing the extensive selection of magazines at McNally Robinson. I vaguely remembered reading something about Frankie magazine in my Twitter feed, but I cannot for the life of me remember who was tweeting about it. Anyways, when I saw a copy of Frankie I took a flip through. I'm a bit of a magazine Boy, am I glad I did! Frankie is the magazine I've been looking for all my life. It covers all the topics I could ever want to read about in a magazine - real people, affordable fashion and home decor, beautiful photography, handmade sellers from across the globe, independent businesses and more! It's solid from front to back - the layouts, articles and photography are all interesting and well put together on beautiful, thick pages. If you want to take a look at the content in the last few issues of Frankie, their website has lots of information on the previous issues. I highly suggest getting your hands on a copy of Frankie - I don't think you will be disappointed!
After purchasing my first issue of Frankie I was hooked. Frankie is published bi-monthly, so it comes out six times each year. Also, since Frankie is published in Australia, it takes seven weeks for it to be available in Canada/USA. That means waiting a bit longer to get each issue but it's SO worth the wait for such a fantastic magazine. Luckily I was able to make arrangements for McNally Robinson to put aside a copy of Frankie magazine for me whenever it arrives at the store! They just call me and let me know when a new issue arrives and I can go down to the store to pick up and pay for my copy. I didn't realize they offered such a service until I asked, and I'm so glad that I don't have to worry about scouring their magazine section weekly to see if I can get a hold of the next issue of Frankie. If you are in Winnipeg and wanted to get your hands on Frankie magazine you can always give McNally Robinson a call and inquire about reserving a copy of Frankie for yourself, too. ▲

ReplyDeleteHi Daphne! I'm so glad you found your way over here - thanks so much for your sweet comment and for adding me to your blog roll. I am glad we were able to connect. I was looking for some other Winnipeg bloggers as well, so I'm glad we have found each other online. :)
ReplyDeleteYou should totally call McNally and ask about having a copy of Frankie put aside for you. I now have a few magazines they put aside for me when they come in and it's just so convenient. I don't have to worry about stalking the magazine section weekly to try and get my hands on my favourites.
