I'm in Italy!


Well actually, I'm still in London, but my home is in Italy...an Italian magazine that is! :) My home, along with an interview with me, is featured in the current issue of Gli Speciali di Casa ChicI was very honored when Lotus Publishing contacted me, but the best part of being in the magazine is that my good friend Maria from Dreamy Whites was featured right along with me in the very same issue!!!  They used all of our own photography, which I'll be honest, made me a little nervous, but is very exciting at the same time.  They were also very generous in how many pages they gave us in each of our features...now, if only I knew how to read Italian :))

I know these pictures are small, so I would love to giveaway a copy of the magazine to one of you! 

Just leave me a comment on this post and I will draw a name when I get back from London and send it off to one winner. 


I also want to let you know that the Autumn issue of Jeanne d' Arc Living magazine is finally up for pre-order in my SHOP...



Here's a little peek...

Be back in a few days...
