To say that I am excited today would be an understatement! I’ve been dreaming about launching a magazine for a looooong time and today I finally get to hit the publish button on My French Country Home Magazine – well almost!
I am happy to tell you that on 15 January we will publish the first issue of the My French Country Home Magazine and that today we are sharing with you our teaser video and a few preview pages.
I’m joined by a small team of talented writers and photographers to put together this first issue and we hope many others to come. The magazine will appear every two months, and the first issue is just over 100 pages long.
In each copy we’ll take you inside French homes; invite you into stunning gardens; share some favourite recipes and interview French people who we meet along the way. We’ll also highlight some of the passionate and fascinating artisan creators that I am privileged to know and give you an opportunity to buy their products, delivered to your door.
And if you are planning a trip to France, then you’ll enjoy our regional features, taking you all over the country, with tips on where to stay and what to see., as well as sharing some of our favourite French brands and current trends in home decor.
You can choose between a yearly print or digital subscription or a single issue.
There are 6 issues per year, the price is shown in US$, but converts to your currency when you complete your subscription.
I really hope you love this new venture, and that you’ll discover a new source of ideas and beautiful images of France.

Many sincere congratulations, and all the best you and this latest venture of yours. What’s next?…..the MFCH theme-park? I hope so……

Thank you my friend , and no! No plans for a theme park anytime soon!

Magnificent! Congratulations Sharon & best wishes for a wonderful launch. I can’t wait to see this! X
I am so happy hear the news! But I do have a question if we subscribe to your digital magazine whether we subscribe for one copy or a year is it forever ours on our computer, tablet, or whatever tech gadget?
Hi Margarita, if you buy one issue or if you subscribe for the year they will always be available for you to read on the website
Thank you for asking!
Sharon
How much is it?
Can’t wait to see the the first issue Sharon!! What a huge amount of work!
It’s beautiful! It looks like a digital version of one of your tours. I subscribed a moment ago for the full year. Looking forward to it!
It certainly looks lovely! This is quite serendipitous as I decided in December not to renew my long-time subscription to Martha Stewart Living after 28 years. I look forward to reading the first issue. Congratulations to you and your team!
Very excited for January 15th. Just bought the premier issue. Will look forward to purchasing the subscription later in the new year! Love getting to peak into French life here in Texas! Happy New Year!
I’m so excited for you…and me..What a undertaking, but knowing from your past,this too will be fabulous…can’t wait for the first issue…just signed up for a year..Happy New Years
thank you Dianne, it is a big undertaking, but I am not alone! I am very lucky to have a small but wonderful team working with me on this project
Thank you for your subscription, hope you love each issue

Sharon
Thank you for your invitation to your charming little magazine.
Congrats
Looks fabulous and I intend to subscribe but echo Margarita W.’s question above – will we be able to keep our digital copies to return to and reread at our leisure as we would a print magazine?
Hi Hildred, the magazine will not be downloadable, but once you have purchased an issue, or subscribed for a year, then you’ll be able to return and read the magazines whenever you wish 🙂

Sharon
Thank You Sharon for that information I will be subscribing for the year in that case.
Sincerely,
Margarita W.
Thanks so much, Sharon! Can’t wait to see the first issue and best of luck!
is this going to be issued through Kindle or Nook/
Hi Debra
Yes it will, thank you for asking. We can’t set that up until the first issue is published. If you subscribe, you’ll be on the email listing and we’ll keep you updated as soon as a new way to view the magazine becomes available

Hello Sharon! Congratulations!
This looks like my dream magazine, I can’t wait!
Hi Sharon
7 years ago i was searching the internet for dahlias and came across your wonderful blog and immediately signed up. That small thing ended up changing the direction of my life’s journey. Today I have a beautiful Mason in Brittany which we will start to renovate and restore in late 2019 with the view to retiring there in the future. Using your blog as a reference point, I have visited some of the places you talk about, most recently the wonderful hotel in Paris that’s just down from Le Bon Marche? where coffee was duly enjoyed. Thank you. Thank you for bringing such joy. Your emails arrive here our time in Australia in the early hours of the morning and it is such a treat to read them at either breakfast or on the train journey to work. Today I have subscribed to your wonderful new magazine for the year, Congratulations on your endeavour and I look forward to a year of French Bliss.

Sharon,
I would love to share this wonderful
magazine as a gift to a friend. At this time is this option available for the yearly subscription?
Once again Congratulations and Best Wishes as your dream becomes reality!
Hi Stephanie,
The publishing platform we are using isn’t set up for purchases specified as a gift. Of course you can do this though for either one of the issues or for the yearly subscription. Click over to our FAQs and you’ll see a drop down on how to give this as a gift: https://sharonsantoni.com/mfch-digital-magazine/
Thank you so much for your purchase and support!
Kindly

What an exciting New Year! Looking forward to your new publishing endeavor. Thank You for sharing your vision and everything French!

All the Best and much continued success. Ordering Now! Lynette
Sharon, will you be continuing your blog as well? I hope so as I thoroughly enjoy it!
Hi Francean, Yes absolutely. 🙂 Thank you for following along.

[…] Oh, my goodness. Sharon Santoni’s next Stylish French Box is called La Parisienne, and after watching the video below and knowing what she has included in previous boxes, I cannot wait to see what she comes up with for box No. 9. Be sure to place your orders now, if you haven’t already or don’t already have a year’s subscription. And I must not forget to share with you news about Sharon’s new venture into the digital magazine world! Debuting on January 15th is her first edition, and it looks quite lovely. Learn more here. […]
Dear Sharon,
I truly admire you because you are really inspiring and so talented. I have been following your wonderful blog for about three years and this morning I purchased the first copy of your digital magazine. I can’t wait to flick through it tomorrow. I am sure that the contents as well as the images will be spellbinding. In the next future being able to join one of your Provence tours would be a dream that comes true. My best congratulations on everything you do!
Sharon, is this correct. I purchase one issue the first one for 6.99. It’s a total of six pages and only partial pages. The company that handles this for you. Says all I have purchase is a preview. Is that correct. I have never heard of something like that. You buy one issue and it’s only a couple pages.
Please reply. Thank you. I wNted so much to read it. I have all of your books.
I wish to advise that July/August & Sept/Oct editions which had not been received have now turned up; within days of each other!
