TICK-TOCK, TICK-TOCK! Last call for a chance of a lifetime auction!

As I check my clock here on the east coast, it looks like there are only about 5 hours left
in the two eBay auctions from Denmark that are offering up

COMPLETE SETS 
of
EVERY ISSUE
of 
Jeanne d'Arc Living Magazine 
from it's beginning in
2009 all the way through the last issue of  2010.

Considering the emails and phone calls we get from people
frantic to get their hands on
"any and all back issues you have!"
I would seriously consider watching this auction in it's
final hours now...
So many people wait and watch an auction like this,
and then
POUNCE during the last couple of minutes.
:)

You may want to get your foot in the door before it closes. ;)

BELOW IS A RE-POST OF THE INFORMATION 
SO YOU CAN SEE WHAT IS "AT STAKE".

You can skip down to the bottom of the post to find
the two separate links for the
2009 set auction and
and the 2010 set auction:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~






PSST!  You there!  Yes!  You!
SHHHH!!!

I wanna let you in one something!

You ready??

If you are an avid Jeanne d'Arc Living magazine fan
(and who isn't?)
and if you have ever wished too late that you had thought to 
secure one of EVERY issue every published,
you are going to be very happy!

I have a friend in Denmark who is ready to 
part with an 

ENTIRE

FULL

COMPLETE

 set of Jeanne d'Arc Living magazines 
from...

{ARE YOU READY FOR THIS????}

The first copy 

EVER

PRINTED!!

The entire 2009 set -- issues 1 through 6

AND

the entire 2010 set -- issues 1 - 8.

How 'bout that?

This is pretty much unheard of.


I mean, we have been carrying quite a few of the back-issues 
as we can get them
(not all are even available to us, as retailers)
and now even some of the issues we've been able to get even as recently
as our last shipment are now all gone.

FOREVER.



Sooooo....

I say all this to say...

If you are one of the MANY who have emailed or called us
begging for any and all back issues possible,
only to find that we have only a handful of various issues available
 -- that which we can get our hands on...

JUMP

LEAP

RUSH

at this offer!!!




My friend just set up the eBay listings for both sets 
and here are the links:

(issues 1-4 are in Danish; as you will recall, English text was not
introduced until the 5th issue).


Each set will ship from Denmark to the lucky winning bidder
and before long, some very happy person will possess what I think
we ALL wish we'd thought to create back when this incredible magazine
first appeared:

An ENTIRE set of ALL the issues!!!



Just had to let you in on this auction, since it's
such a rarity...

You're welcome.  ;)

The Humble French Bottle Drying Rack Is Elevated To Haute Art!

It all began with an email from NYC artist BO JOSEPH

inquiring about purchasing quite few of our 


as well as some of our 


He indicated he needed about 7 for a project he was working on for the
in which he was to be an exhibitor.

His exhibit would pay homage to 
(the one who created the bottle rack as his first example of "ready-made" art) 
and Bo wanted to cover them with images of works from the museum collection 
& incorporate lighting on each rack.

Sooooo....

We furnished him his bottle racks & place mats, 
and he promised to send me pics of the finished project.

Weeks later, the email came with some of the

MOST AMAZING PICTURES.

The gala was attended by the likes of Sara Jessica Parker, 
Liv Tyler and more than a few other celebrities and NYC socialites.  :)
What a fun night it seems to have been!

Just look at what Bo did with our  
bottle drying racks and place mats:







The BEST PART?
As Bo put it in his email to me,

"It was a huge success and a great party. I ended up throwing a curve ball into the project and wore a suit I silkscreened with the same imagery I used in the rest of the project."

Take a look:


Will you LOOK AT THIS????  

Genius!!!!!!

But then, that's what artists truly are, no?
Geniuses, in the truest sense.

Oh, here is a fun New York Times link
 that shows some
great pics from the night.

Thanks to Bo Joseph for sharing his big night with me
so that I could share it with YOU!  :)

If nothing else, let this inspire YOU to always RE-THINK the 
ways you use things that you use everyday....

Thanks for stopping by!!

Love,

After A VERY Long Wait, Jeanne d'Arc Living Decor Products Are BACK ON THE BLOCK! :)



I'll make this a short one, since
the "star" of this post is


Jeanne d'Arc Living products have hit our doorstep for the first time in
almost a year and a half and their wares are more gorgeous than ever.

The old familiar words were being spoken once again as item by item was
plucked from the shipping container:

"Ohhhhh my...."

"Wow...."

"Ummmm.... this is a-m-a-z-i-n-g...."

and on and on...

Not one single item that arrived was in any way a disappointment.
Not one.

I hope you are all as excited and happy as we are about the
reinstatement of the 
on our site.

I have a feeling this is the beginning of a very good thing... ;)

Happy weekend to you!!!

Please give the new JDL things a look-see!! 

Hugs,

A (Pretty) "Bright Idea" -- Thanks Mr. Edison!



Sometimes bringing the a little bit of the past into the present 

can be a bright idea...

As is the case with these fabulous

Edison Bulbs!

We've just added them to the site (along with QUITE A FEW other new things)

and I've added the bulb to my own home en masse!  

I've decked out a chandelier, two wall sconces,

and soon, quite a few lamps.


I am LOVING the look, too!

Hope all is well with you!

As for me, the remodel is for all intents and purposes "done" --

there are a few "tweeks" that need to be addressed by the

flooring guys, but we have our furnishing back in the house 

and I'm having fun setting things out in their new locale around the

new space.

And let me tell you, I've been BAFFLED by the fact that

though we should theoretically have more space...

why doesn't everything we had in there 2 months ago 

now "fit"??  

I'm making piles of things now to give away/donate because

for some strange reason, what came out

won't all go back in!     

:)

Hope you'll take a look at the 


I've been remiss in getting on here to post about them all as 

we've added them...

SHAME ON ME!!  :)

Have a great day!
