Hey gang! I've been absent for a bit but I'm excited to get painting again.

I would like to start a group of 4 or 5 furniture/decor artists who want to do a weekly upcycle and share across each other's platforms (blogs, FB, IG, YouTube, TikTok, etc). I know of a few well-known artists who do this and they have huge followings. I figure this will help each of us grow our followers.

Please DM me if you are interested and we can chat furthe. I'd like to get this rolling by March 1st so let's get go!

Jeanne d'Arc Living The next issue, no. 1 2026, will be out December 29th.

Another new year with new energy is almost upon us. JDL is starting a new food series with delicious food from Italy's Rosella and also showing creativity with fabric. JDL also visits two homes where the interior design is a combination of light tones and wood, as well as a cozy winter cabin in Finland. Wellness is also a theme this issue.

For pre-orders of 2026's first issue, feel free to send me a message and I'll set one (or more) aside for you. Price for regular issues is $19.99 plus tax and shipping (if required).

Jeanne d'Arc Living Issue 8 - December at a Slower Pace (last issue for 2025) is now available at Una Bella Vita Boutique. You will definitely want this issue on your coffee table to look at again and again!

December is just around the corner – filled with coziness, light and warmth. As Vibeke writes so beautifully in her Christmas article in this issue, this time is not about everything we have to achieve, but about everything we can choose to enjoy. It is easy to get carried away by the current and race through December. It is just such a shame, because before we look back, this magical time is over, and we did not even get to enjoy it as we wanted to. Christmas is an opportunity to slow down. To find joy in the simple, as Vibeke also describes: a little baking, a quiet moment in the glow of candles, creative pursuits or time with those we love. A handwritten card, a homemade gift or just a warm word – it is often the little things that touch us the most. In simplicity lies the genuine and the warm.

Happy Friday!

I have more incredible news to share with you. I am now a retailer for Jeanne d'Arc Living Magazine. The Fall issue and Christmas issue are expected to arrive next week. These magazines are to die for! The focus is on interior design with recycling, as well as creativity and provide inspiration for those of you who love the cozy country style with all that it entails.

The Christmas special edition features lots of Christmas homes, where warmth, presence and personal details create the special atmosphere that we long for in December. Here you will find inspiration from creative souls who decorate for Christmas with everything from heirlooms and natural materials to homemade decorations, baked goods and personal details.

I am the only retailer in the Hamilton and GTA. Once these beauties arrive, they will be available for purchase at Una Bella Vita Boutique so be sure to pop in and pick them up. These make a great house warming, hostess gift and stocking stuffer. Stock is limited. I will let you know once they arrive. New issues are published every 6 weeks.

The Fall issue is $19.99 plus tax and the Christmas issue is $24.99 plus tax. If you'd like to reserve one, please message me and I can send you an invoice. Shipping can be arranged if required for an additional cost.
