We're singing a little song of thanks today, and it's dedicated to all our long-term lovers out there.

Time sure does fly when you're putting together a pretty darn fabulous mag, and issue 54 will be hitting the newsstands in less than a month.

Hooray for print ... Hooray for shopping local ... and hooray for damn cute stop-motion.

If you've been a frankie subscriber for a year or more, we have some super sweet pantry labels from Love Mae to prettyify your cupboards.

Prepare to have your socks blown off, frankie types – issue 53 is on sale today and just between us, it's a bit of a doozy.

The countdown to issue 53 is swiftly ticking by, and we're super excited that there are only two short days until it hits the stands.

Unexpected presents are the best kind of presents, and - what do you know? - we've got a special treat for you, dear frankie readers.

We've swapped our usual cuppa for a piece of straw to chew on this morning, after last night's frankie runway show took us to the little house on the prairie.

Today's the day - Smith Journal Volume 6 has just set sail, complete with a miniature ship in a bottle on their front cover (our butterfingers will stay far away, never fear).

Add this to your, 'Why didn't I think of that?' pile of DIY projects, because all the supplies you will need can be found around your house! Who knew?
