It's Here! ROSE & IVY Journal Issue No.09 + A Letter from the Editor
A Letter from the Editor
When I first started ROSE & IVY back in 2014, I never dreamed it would unfold the way that it has. I knew that I wanted to create more than just a blog, and being an avid reader of print magazines, I wanted to create a presence in that environment. What started out as a passion project has transformed into a full-fledged business, and as you might know, businesses need nurturing in many ways in order to thrive and grow. I have always been a person with big dreams, so you can imagine that my aspirations for R&I are the same. I want ROSE & IVY to be a new voice in print media, but in order to continue to create inspiring content, support our talented collaborators and publish the printed edition, we will begin charging a small fee to view this issue--$3, less than the cost of a nice cup of coffee (which, by the way, pairs nicely while enjoying each page!) We will keep our previous issues for you to enjoy free of charge. I truly appreciate your support, because you are supporting a dream, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for finding ROSE & IVY and sharing it with those who appreciate beauty in its many forms. We have many exciting things coming your way, so we hope you’ll continue to follow and support Rose & Ivy. As always, I'd love to hear from you--please don't hesitate to reach out.
