Announcing An Exciting New Venture ~ House of Fifty

Today I am very excited to announce a new venture that is coming in May, House of Fifty. This quarterly e-zine will cover a range of topics from interior design to fashion, organization tips to favorite finds and tasty dishes. With a great line up of contributors, I look forward to sharing what I anticipate will be a publication full of valuable ideas for inspired living.

"Finding inspiration in the Everyday. Look for House of Fifty coming May 2011."

I look forward to your feedback on the initial Summer issue. What would you like more of and what additional features would you like to see included? Your ideas will be most welcome as the content to be included in the expanded Fall issue is determined! I hope you'll join me for this fun new venture!

Thanks! Janell
