Seeking VOGUE Bambini

When I used to live in Zurich in the early 90's I fell in love with the children's fashion magazine VOGUE BAMBINI.  It features beautiful children's clothing that's incredibly creative and colorful, and the layout of the magazine and its advertisements are just gorgeous.  It's a whopping load of eye candy and so inspiring!   

I have a few issues on hand I've managed to gather over the years and I consult them from time to time for inspiration, especially when I'm looking for textile ideas.  I'd like to have more issues, though, because BAMBINI is one of those magazines you keep on your shelves for an eternity -- it's THAT pretty.

Unfortunately, it's increasingly difficult to find this magazine for anything approaching a reasonable price, and even when it does appear somewhere -- like eBay -- the options are really limited, especially when you consider that this is a magazine that's printed and distributed broadly, monthly.  Right now on eBay there's a copy priced at over $50. Even though it was never a CHEAP magazine, especially since I always bought it outside of Italy as a "foreign" periodical, it wasn't $50 -- plus shipping!

It doesn't appear possible to subscribe to BAMBINI from the US, although you can from Australia -- lucky Aussies!  Even Amazon.com rates the subscription as "unavailable."   When you can't find something on Amazon, doom is in the air. :)

I'm wondering, dear reader... Are you living in Europe or Australia, and do you have access to VOGUE BAMBINI at a local newsstand?  Would you be willing to buy me a copy/copies, and then mail them to me?  I have PayPal and can pay you immediately for your efforts. 

Please let me know!  You can email me here.

I can probably help you get this magazine. I sent you an e-mail, but just to make sure you get the message, I thought I'd better comment as well. Just let me know if I can be of help, many hugs...Ellen
P.S. I really do believe you're happy with the outcome of the Boyds deal, I know the feeling and can fully understand the immense feeling of relief that you must have felt
