Dear ReaderThe times they are a-changing. New trends arise, others

recede or disappear altogether – for a while or forever. We

continuously set new goals throughout our lives and fi nd

new priorities. That's how it's supposed to be. But some

things remain unchanged either for longer periods of time

or perhaps all through life. These might be fundamental

beliefs, goals or the things that we just love. So although

times change, there are always certain things that do not

change all that much. As far as we're concerned, one of

these is our love for our work along with the lifestyle that

is the cornerstone of it all. In fact, the fundamentals don't

change much. Right now while summer is still here, most

people feel at one with nature. My favorite thing around

this time of year is waking up in our summerhouse where

nature is all around me. As soon as we open the door or

whenever we sleep with the windows open, we can breathe

in the clear forest air. Even though we live in the country at in the clear forest air. Even though we live in the country at

home as well, the smells are just completely different here in

the woods. And then there are the sounds! The bird life is

magnifi cent and the tall trees amplify the birds' singing. It

sounds amazing. In the morning I always sit on the porch

simply enjoying life the way it is right now – all by myself, a

cup of coffee in hand. If I'm lucky, a deer or a squirrel might

come by. The very fi rst warm rays of sun touch down right

there. Other days it might be raining and both the sounds

and smells are completely different. The sound of the rain

on the roof and the smell of the damp forest fl oor have

a charm of their very own, too. Wonderful seating areas

around the garden happens to be the topic of one of the

articles in this issue – places to sit and enjoy the last warm

days of summer before late summer and fall really set in.

Happy reading!

Who are we, and why the name Jeanne d’Arc Living?Who are we, and why the name Jeanne d’Arc Living?Who are we, and why the name

The French heroine Jeanne d’Arc was an amazing woman with an unusually strong will and sense of purpose. She didn’t ascribe to the common opinions of her time of what one should or should not do. Instead she went her own way and fought till the very end for her beliefs.

In using her name in connection with our company, we do so with the utmost respect for this remarkable woman. We also feel that there’s a lesson to be learned from her – even now, 600 years later. We should all have the courage to go our own ways and dare to stand out from the crowd. From the very beginning these have been some of our main goals for the company. We continuously aim to think outside the box and stand up for what we believe.

Today part of the company is a publishing business that publishes our own magazines and books. The common thread in everything we do is the French-Nordic country style. We publish a magazine that keeps to the style, avoiding distracting advertisements within the magazine. This is, of course, a challenge. It requires a substantial amount of editorial material and that we do most of it ourselves in order to make ends meet. The magazine is published in eight languages and sold in many parts of the world.

We also run a wholesale business with our own designs produced both here in Denmark and abroad. The company has been around for almost ten years and is jointly owned by Lonnie Würtz Jensen and Vivian Christensen. If you’d like to learn more about us and the company, you can follow our everyday life on our blog.

All the best,

Lonnie & Vivian
