Our First Ad in Milieu Magazine

 

The Fall issue of Milieu magazine is now on the newsstand.  

It is their 5th anniversary issue.  Hard to believe it has been five years since Pamela Pierce started this beautiful magazine.

The marketing gals came to meet with me at High Point market in April and I agreed to advertise with them.  Here is our first ad. 

Swede is on page 41 in the magazine and on page 84 in the editorial story called The Gift of Wood. 

The commercial photography studio I work with is Studio 323 in High Point, NC.  The four-month old French Bulldog in this photo belongs to the studio owner. Her name is Patsy Potato.  Studio 323 has also finished my ad for the Winter issue of Milieu for December 1 release and I really love this new one. 

Shown in this photo are Swede's long Gustavian bench, our Leaf Tip Gustavian stool and our French shell stool.  See them all on either Dering Hall or our website, www.swedefurniture.com

Very proud of this accomplishment.

All The Gold in Paris From a Tourist Viewpoint

 

I haven't done a digital flipbook on Paris for you in awhile -- lots of procrastination -- so decided to work on one again.  It takes several days for me to put one together. 

This one is on the use of gold by Parisian architects, interior designers, landscape architects, iron workers, painters and other craftsmen.  This is what I see as a tourist visiting museums, castles and walking around town.  Put simply, gold is everywhere in Paris.  I limited this flipbook to 166 pages which is only an overview of the massive availability of things to capture covered in gold. 

I am a beauty seeker by genetics, drive and passion.  My passion yells at me "capture this beautiful view", "capture that detail" and "preserve this artistic skill" to soak up for my own deep well of visual need and to share with others who love beautiful moments as much as I do. 

If you've been to Paris, I hope this reminds you of your visit and if you have not yet gone to Paris, I hope it inspires you to visit.

Last, one other tidbit of news, Swede Collection will have a full-page ad in Milieu magazine starting September 1 with their anniversary issue to reach more people about what Swede makes.  

Enjoy!
