Issue #5

A new cursive typewriter, matching babushkas, Lady Gaga, Disney Princess birthday cards on Easter, cans of Budweiser on a Saturday afternoon, boyfriends, secrets, a plumbing sham and Granny Mansion's first guest contributor

Issue #4

Jealousy, suicidal wishes, a slap across the face, guilt, manipulation, a man raising chickens in the kitchen cupboard, a granny conference, a moment of silence

Issue #3

A lolcat, polka A-track tapes, confused pet gender identity, a playboy bunny t-shirt, plastic covered pillows, squirrel statues, the Gottscheer Club Christmas Dinner, midnight party-crashing, greed, slimy cake pans

Issue #2

Poodle perms at Martin's Beauty Salon, Shake N' Bake chicken legs, night caps and boozy fraulines, planting fake flowers at the cemetery, a Jehovah's witness kidnapping, party dresses, and shopping lists for donuts, long underwear, and whiskey

Issue #1

Meet the lovely ladies of Granny Mansion...

Rooster shrines, clip on earrings, an early morning Thanksgiving ham, senior bus trips to the casino in Yonkers, the Woodward Avenue knitting mill, a $600 taxi cab ride, a steamy affair, that German blood that don't take no crap from nobody and lives till the end of time

"Blog" is the grossest word on earth, don't you agree?

Well, maybe except for "cloister" or "coagulate" or "salad"...

Aaanyway I'm not a blog writer, I much prefer print zines, as y'all probably know. And as a lady of few words, I'll save the diatribe about the gravity of print media's death... and just say that while I won't be making an online version of Granny Mansion, I'll use this website to tell you when I finish new issues. And then you can send me yer addresses, and I'll mail them to you bursting at the seams with love and recipes for apple strudel.

In return, let's barter! Trade me something you've made or teach me something new! I've always wanted to learn how to plant-dye yarn and make my own root beer...
