DON'T HATE ME, MY BELOVED PARIS, BUT ANOTHER HAS CAPTIVATED ME! (DANISH, ANYONE?)

Oh dear...I do believe I'm being swept off my feet by those great Dane's (Danish/Swedish design that is).

Just look at these breathtakingly beautiful rooms!

Clean, not too cluttered but not austere, either.

Light colorways with just the right amount of vintage patina and wood to warm it all up.

If you haven't begun to notice the sweeping trend toward all things Nordic in decor, well...you will!

There is quite a similarity to the French good looks I've loved for decades - that justifies my becoming smitten with this new beauty, doesn't it? :)

Do Danish good looks make you s-w-o-o-n, too?

You're in luck...

Below are things that we will be carrying in the shop and I couldn't wait

ONE

MORE

MINUTE

to share them with you.

I am so excited about these new additions to the inventory I literally have found myself thinking about it in the middle of the night.

NO, I'm not crazy -- just "in love". :)

Take a look below and you'll see what's to love!

Words, words and more words!

Templates of beautiful French prayers (from vintage prayer cards)

for applying them to your walls, tables, floors - anything!


"Laundry" -- adorn the most-used room in your house (well, most used only after the kitchen).

Fabulous messenger bags, unusual plate/book stand in painted wood, and flax-colored potholders printed in charcoal with the wording from a French olive jar.

You KNOW I had to order pillows...You just know I did. : )

And numbers -- anything with numbers.

We will be stocking the #5 sign you see here...

A lovely linen-toned floral garland wreath...

Vintage-style wooden "clamps" as they're called. Kind of like overgrown (GREAT DANE) wooden clothespins but they stand up and can hold memos, pictures, etc.

A GOREGEOUS mercury glass dome printed with wording in French.

Two coordinating madonna prints on canvas -- vintage with an edgy feel.

Wonderful Euro-style glass jars with zinc clamp lids.

ANOTHER new style of bottle-drying rack! When I thought I would never see another variation on these best-sellers, here we have one! Very versatile because of the new spacing of the pegs!


Dreamy-looking statue in shades of ivory & grey (so Swedish!) and a fabulous bath scrub bar on twine (several scents to choose from).

And not to be missed:

The next issue (Summer issue) of

Jeanne d' Arc Living magazine.

(to call it a "magazine" is an understatement!)

The text is all in Danish, but WHO CARES! The pictures and the beauty on the pages transends language!!!


Here is a sampling of what you can expect in the next issue!

Will my newfound love for the Franco-Nordic style have me soon forgetting my first love, French style? NEVER!

I really don't have to choose -- the two styles blend and meld so beautifully, there is only peaceful cohabitation in the future for these two design beauties.

We're expecting to stock and have available the items you saw above later this month. You can BE SURE I'll mention it here when the treasures arrive!

Wishing you everything beautiful,

~Ruth~
