Welcome to the end of February. Just around the corner is March, and we will indeed be striving forward into a new season. For those of us looking ahead to spring, its arrival will be magical I have a feeling, restorative and a reminder that long anticipated occurrences can happen. 

I wanted to share with you some exciting news because you, the newsletter subscribers, are the reason for what I am about to share. Over the past ten months I have been working on TSLL's third book, and this upcoming summer the editing and design will take place to bring it to you in early 2022. 

Prompted by requests from multiple newsletter subscribers over the past 10 years, the book will be a year's worth of daily entries to inspire living simply luxuriously each day of the year. Many of the entries are what you have become accustomed to reading when the original weekly newsletter arrived in your inbox on Friday. And while many more details will be included and I will share later, I wanted to thank you for suggesting this idea. I have been toying with it and imagining how it might come together to not only be unique but also something readers would want to read not one year, but perhaps more than one year as they navigate along their own journey of building and enjoying their unique simply luxurious life. 

If you have requests or suggestions for what you hope the book will contain or include, please do email me. I am listening and have already begun making a list as TOP Tier subscribers learned of this news last month. 

Oh, and part of what makes this exciting news is that yep, TSLL's illustrator, Inslee, is on board to create exclusive images just for the book. I cannot wait to see what she will come up with. :)

And now to the monthly newsletter you've been waiting for. Full of posts and episodes which quickly became favorites - two French-inspired posts, two style posts, one recipe, a tour of the progress of my primary bedroom resytling (we are sooooo close to done!) and still much more, I do hope you enjoy. 

With all of that said, it's time to get to this month's newsletter. To explore every post you wish to read, be sure to become a subscriber to one of the two tiers - BASIC or TOP as non-subscribers can only read five posts a month (it will reset on Monday February 1st). 

Until Friday March 26th, I will see you on the blog.
