I love the French "Marie Claire Idees" magazine, It comes out 4 times a year and every issue is like a beautiful craft book. I started collecting issues of this magazine in the mid 80's and till this day I still flip through pages of those issues over and over again, 20 years later the photos and ideas are just as fresh today as they were then! it has endless projects, fantastic styling and photography and it's always a true inspiration for me. Here are a few random beautiful pages from the current Summer issue:
A great idea for a tie and dye shirt
I love the styling and photos here, a Chinese enamel thermos converted into a table lamp:
A bowl converted into a pendant:
A series of connected paper lanterns creating one long hanging light fixture:
and the food....swoon worthy!

I truly recommend this wonderful inspiring magazine! I find it at Barnes and Noble and at Borders here in Burlington.


Beautiful! Thanks for the scans! I'll have to see if our B&N sells the French edition.
