Special Announcement {Lonny magazine}

Tonight is an incredibly exciting night for both myself and my business partner Patrick Cline, as we've got a p r e t t y big announcement for you ;) Over the past six months as we've all watched our favorite shelter and lifestyle publications come to an end, it has left design lovers worldwide longing for inspiration and wondering what's next for the world of magazines. So Patrick and I decided to do something about it. As a special treat for you, we've rounded up some of your favorite (and boy do I mean favorite!) editors, designers, artists, bloggers and friends, and in September, 2009 we will be launching our premiere issue of an online decorating and lifestyle magazine called Lonny. Please be sure to spread the word, and check back in the coming weeks as we share with you our first ever cover shoot, and more details about the mag ;)

Now that IS exciting! The fall of so many great publications has most definitely left a huge void. So glad to hear you will be filling it with what promises to be a beautiful product!

With all due respect, will this magazine contain copyrighted content like your blog? (credited to the source, but still a breach of copyright nonetheless)
I'm interested to see, and hope that it is purely original content because then it will truly fill the void left by Domino etc

MABELLE said...

THANK YOU AGAIN everybody!! I'm so thrilled that you are as excited as Patrick and I! We will try to update you as much as possible without giving too much away ;)

And as for Anonymous, rest assured that Patrick and I are no fools and of COURSE it will be 100% original content ;)

XO Michelle.

Annie May said...

This is so amazing! I was just talking about this yesterday...what's next in the magazine world! It's amazing how many times Domino comes up in conversations. I asked what do you think these "masterminds" are doing?! And here I find out! I am so excited!
