Hello!
The summer is flying by, isn't it?!!
I can't believe how long it's been since I last posted! Sorry! Two weeks ago I wound up getting really sick with that crazy high fever that my kids had {not fun!}...and the worst sore throat of my life...so I was down and out for about a week.
And then last week, Midwest Living Magazine was here for a three day photo shoot of my home and family!!! It was a lot of work, but a really great experience! Carol Schalla, Home Editor for Midwest Living, was the absolute nicest person to work with and I really enjoyed spending three days chatting and hanging out with her!
When Midwest Living first contacted me last year about coming to photograph my home, I asked that they not bring in an outside stylist for my shoot and instead allow me to style my own shots...they graciously agreed! I ordered all of the flowers myself, styled everything, and we did not bring in any outside props...so the end result is that what the readers will view will be a true reflection of me and my style, and that was important to me. The super talented Kim Cornelison was the photographer for my shoot and wow is she good at what she does! I am so excited for you to see my home feature in the Jan/Feb 2013 issue of Midwest Living Magazine!
All of the photos in today's post are a peek into the new July issue of Jeanne d' Arc Living Magazine, which is now in stock in the SHOP.
This new issue is filled with wonderful summer recipes, beautiful gardens, and, as always, lovely home tours...all in the Nordic-French style that has made Jeanne d' Arc Living so popular! And the best part is you get all of this inspiration with no advertisements in the magazine, just great styling and decorating!!
To order the July issue of Jeanne d' Arc Living Magazine, go *HERE*

I also wanted to show you a few new pieces of jewelry that my sister put together for the SHOP, using the awesome vintage French pocket watches I brought back from Paris...
...the back of the pocket watch is engraved and so pretty...and the watch opens to reveal the inner workings which are also so very beautiful...
I hope you all have a wonderful 4th of July!!! We are headed to my friend's pool party :))

Hello Tracey
Congratulations and I will look forward to seeing your home in print in Midwest Living magazine
I can understand why they agreed and trusted you to create all the settings. Your taste is exquisite, as is your sister's.
Happy July 4

How smart of them to recognize your talent and ability for suberb styling. After all...who knows your home better than you?

P.S. I love seeing a home that is a true reflection of the owner.
Many congrats to you Tracey- I'm so excited to see the issue on your gorgeous home!

Congratulation Tracey!!! And how awesome that you got to style your own home for the shoot, that was a great idea and so important to reflect your true individual style for the magazine.
I know what you mean about getting sick, my little one is really sick and now I've caught it, I just hate that in the summertime!
I hope you have a beautiful day and enjoy the pool party!
Thanks for the beautiful photos from JDL! :)
Sincerely,
Melinda
Hi Tracie,
I am so thrilled for you about the magazine shoot and I agree with another comment. They obviously know a good stylist when they see one! :) I just love your photography and never tire of looking at it.
I just ordered the magazine from you also!! Can't wait to get it.
Blessings~
PS the pocket watch necklaces are gorgeous also!
Congrats!! I think it's wonderful that you were the stylist!! Why wouldn't they? Your style is excellent!
How exciting for you to have your home photographed for a magazine! That is one of my big dream!
And that is SO COOL that you did all the styling. I love that. Makes it truly your home and style. Kudos to you!
congrats--& can't wait to see your nest in the mag!
However, Midwest Living puts out different issues for different areas :( Na Da Farm was not in my issue last fall.
So, I hope it will be on their website!!
How fun for you!!!

How exciting is this!
Glad to hear that you are feeling A LOT better. I don't know why summer is the hardest season to be sick in. Yuck!
Take care.
:)
How very exciting! It comes as no surprise that they agreed to let you style your own shoots! Such talent you have!
Midwest Living is my very favorite magazine. I can't wait to see your feature!
Tracey those watches are so pretty
Congratulations Tracey...and I love how you wanted to style your own home without any props so that "readers will view a true reflection of you and your style". That's awesome:)
Congratulations! That is so wonderful, what a great honor! I'm originally from South Carolina and have been living in Tennessee for the last 10 years, so I've only seen Southern Living, Midwest Living isn't sold in this area. I hope you will have some available in your store, I would love to get that issue so I can see the inside of your home.
Congrats and how exciting. Lovely pictures I like the lavender and the watches are gogeous. Have happy and safe 4th!

girlfriend, those pictures are gorgeous!
Oh how incredibly exciting that must have been...the photo shoot I mean...not you being sick! Can't wait for the ML issue; I just know it'll be an amazing feature:)
I keep meaning to tell you how GReat it is that you were able to give the true reflection of your home for the shoot. I always enjoy looking at beautiful magazines but feel like it's the stylist representation rather than the person that lives there. Remind us again when it comes out so I can make sure to pick one up (:
Exciting news! I'd not heard of Midwest Living until just last week when a friend phoned to ask me if I subscribed to this magazine. She is gifting me a subscription. Yea! I'll get to enjoy the article on your beautiful home. Can't wait!
Your sister brought a beautiful pocket clock necklace. She has great taste.
