Next Issue off to the Printers!!

Hi lovelies!!

Just a quick post to let you know that the next issue of "Hundreds and Thousands" mag will be heading off to the printers next week. We are very excited to share our next installment of handmade goodness with you all.

Our next issue will be called "Issue One". That's weird, why would you call your second issue Issue One?

you ask...Well,  we always saw the Starter Issue as a bit of a stand alone experiment, but now that we know it actually works, we are happy to put a number on it! We are now confident that there will be an Issue One, an Issue Two...and more!!

Thanks to some very wonderful sponsors (who we will tell you all about very soon) we have raised enough funds to add some extra pages and articles to the next issue....

...it features our favourite recipes, thrifty makes, a very cool Nana, some sweet music, gardening tips,

some great people doing great things, a trip around a neighbourhood and more!

Magazines will still cost $7 (plus postage and handling) 

Our Starter Issue TOTALLY SOLD OUT and it's thanks to you, our readers and supporters. To those who purchased a copy, thankyou! To those who not only purchased a copy, but then shared with friends, blogged and Instagrammed about it...thankyou, thankyou, thankyou! You have spread the word and turned this into something that neither of us ever imagined.

So stay tuned, because Issue One is on its way shortly!!

Toodles,

CAN YOU HELP!!?

A very happy New year to all our wonderful readers!!

It's exciting times at Hundreds and Thousands HQ. We have very nearly SOLD OUT of our Starter Issue, and are currently putting together our very pretty next issue. We have some wonderful contributors once again, and we can't wait to send our new baby out into the world.

The response to our little handmade zine has been overwhelming. We have been posting them off all over the world!! It's amazing to know that people are enjoying our mag in the UK, France, Norway, US, Canada, Africa...and many towns big and small in Australia too!

The response has been so wonderful, in fact, that we hope to make this next issue slightly BIGGER AND BETTER!! With a few articles we would like to add, we need to fund some additional pages, and that's where YOU might be able to help....

In order to fund these extra pages, we are looking for 6 sponsors for our next Issue. If you have a small handmade business of any shape or form that you would like to advertise in our magazine, please let us know. Perhaps you have an Etsy Shop, Market, album, website, shop, café, gallery, a new song, blog or book you would like to share with our world?

If so, please be in touch with us at hundredsandthousandsmag@gmail.com

We will not be making any money from these ads, they will literally fund the expansion of this little zine. To place an ad in our next issue will cost $15 (Australian Dollars.) You would need to send us a Jpeg of  a design you would like included, and this will take up a 6th of one page. But we can chat via email of course. Overseas sponsors are welcome.

Thanks once again for all the support, we hope to hear from you!!

Starter Issue OUT NOW!!

Well, hello there!!

Just a quick but very important post to let you know that the Starter Issue of Hundreds and Thousands is out now!! Woohoo!

Our 24 page Starter Issue is full of crafty ideas, thrifty fun, recipes, gardening tips, music crushes and more!! It has been made independently and entirely self funded. Some of our article contributors include the lovely Suki, Nic and Zara. Make sure you visit their blogs!

A copy of the magazine will cost you $7.00 (AUS)

To order our little mag online please visit our online store, www.hundredsandthousands.storenvy.com and follow all the usual ordering prompts. You will notice the price is slightly cheaper, this is because it is in US dollars. We will happily ship overseas, so please order no matter where you live!

To our personal friend/fam/acquaintances, we will have limited copies available that you can purchase from us in person, but please know they are already selling like hot cakes so be in touch with us ASAP if you want one!!

As we have said many times, this venture into zine making has been a big step into the unknown. Every step we have taken in this journey has been a brand new one for the both of us, and so it is with much excitement but also a fair amount of nerves that we release this little baby out into the public. Please know that this Starter Issue is only the beginning of the journey, and we hope to build on what we have done this time for further issues.

We recommend getting your order in quickly!! Please, please, pretty please contact us at hundredsandthousandsmag@gmail.com if you wish to purchase a copy but it is sold out. We will get some more whipped up.

Thanks again for the enthusiasm, support and love. You are all awesome!!

Happy reading, and feel free to share the news!!
