It happens six times a year!

My favorite(well, one of them) magazine arrives: “Marie Claire Idees”; NOT to be confused with “Marie Claire”. This is THE one to look at for colors, ideas, crafts, styling and yes, all things French.

My scans really do NOT do justice to the fabulous photography in the magazine!

Look at this story all about ribbons:

Marie Claire 1
 
Or this one, about birds as a source of inspiration: 

Marie Clair 2

 

Lots of fun ideas to make with wall paper:

Marie Claire 3

You can order directly from Amazon here. It does take almost three months for the first issue to arrive….well worth the wait!

A note of “warning”: it IS all in French:both the website and the magazine. But even if you don’t understand the language “a picture is worth a thousand words”. Trust me, as visual people,  you will understand what is going on….
