editor’s letter FABRICS IN THIS ISSUE
I grew up in Southern California about 15 minutes away from Disneyland. The Magic Kingdom was a regular hang-out, and one of my favorite
1
attractions was the Carousel of Progress.
It marked 20th Century
advances for a “typical” American family, and my cousin and I would ride it again and again just so we could sing the theme
2
song. The words have always resonated with me (I’m singing as I write): “It’s a great, big, beautiful tomorrow, shining at the end of every day. It’s a great, big,
3
beautiful tomorrow, and tomorrow’s just a dream away…” Wow. It’s a great, big, beautiful today! Our notions of media are changing,
4
and our team is honored to be a part of the new media landscape. If you are a fan of Nesting Newbies, it means that you enjoy—and perhaps have a passion for—food, entertaining,
5
or decorating…maybe even all three. What we’re trying to do is explore new ways of presenting them from a variety of viewpoints—Chef Lea, foodies, designers, bloggers, and newbies—and use emerging technology, rather than traditional publishing, to present them to you. And we’ve only just begun.
6
We choose to cover people and products we believe in and think you will love, too. And when Chef Lea recommends something, know that she has either used it for years or has personally tested it first. We wouldn’t feel comfortable any other way.
