LA FAMILIA ANNUAL GATHERING

Late last year, the entire ReadyMade staff (whom I affectionately refer to as “la familia”) participated in our second all-company pow-wow, marking the occasion with a fall supper we cooked up ourselves. It was a Julia Child-worthy feast!

PAPER PRIDE

ReadyMade was one of six national magazines selected for a special promotion at Barnes & Noble and Hastings Books and Music for our use of recycled paper. Since our first issue in 2001, the magazine has been published on postconsumer recycled paper, despite the fact that less than five percent of all magazine paper contains any recycled content.

LOVE NOTES

To celebrate our Feb/March issue, as well as everyone’s favorite excuse to become a hopeless romantic, ReadyMade and Anthropologie have joined forces to present the “Perfect Love Note.” ReadyMade will travel to eight Anthropologie locations nationwide on the same day in early February and stage an in-store card-making demonstration. Attendees will walk away with a goody bag of ingredients and instructions so they can create their own amorous confession at home. Check readymademag.com for cities, date, and times, and mark your calendar.
