HOW I LIVE TSLL (IG @thesimplyluxuriouslife)

The first round of preorders of signed copies of Savoring the Sojourn is ready to be dropped off at the post office tomorrow morning (Monday)! These are nearly all of the hardback orders, and if you ordered both hardback and paperback, those orders will ship out next week when then the paperbacks arrive. Also, each of the signed bookplates and solitary notepads that were ordered will ship out tomorrow as well.

Nelle was oodles of help, truly, by being patient with me as I packaged away in the empty guest bedroom - the perfect space for assembling everything. I positioned her pup bed next to me and she napped the entire time after a good long romp this morning to begin the day (until dinner time neared ☺️🙃🐾❤️).

Also, you will see here the original watercolor by @sarahloeckerart for the cover art. Be sure to watch September's A Cuppa Moments for Premier members as I will share and walk you through each of the six illustrations that Sarah created for the book. Notice that the original of the cover is slightly different than what is on the book 🔎 I will share all of this and other details on Tuesday - September 1st! Grab your cuppa and join us 🫖!

Look for your hardbacks to arrive in 3-5 days, so hopefully by Friday or Saturday of this week! #tsll4thbook #savoringthesojourn

Savoring the Sojourn, the hardback copies have arrived at Le Papillon and will be shipping out on Monday!

Preorders of signed copies and the gift are just about to head your way directly from Bend, Oregon! Vous-prêt ? Silly question 🙃 Thank you for your orders and your patience! Each packaged book is checked for quality, Nelle then gives it her approval and it is signed and ready to send your way ☺️📖📦🖋️🐾

Paperback copies are scheduled to ship out to me this coming week, so I should receive them next weekend and will send them your way the following week. Stay tuned for updates here on IG Stories and the blog!

Earlier this week, #tsll4thbook 📖 Savoring the Sojourn: Contentment through the Seasons as You Unearth Your Masterpiece was released globally (preordered signed copies will be shipped out soon directly from me - Shannon- and will arrive, as promised by - or before! - September 15th📦📖❤️🖋️). Today, I wanted to share with you an introductory quote that is found in, well, the Introduction of the book ☺️ to share a glimpse of what you will discover when you read.

All four formats are now available - hardback, paperback, ebook and audiobook from Amazon, and both hardback and paperback are available from Shannon through TSLL.co shop on the blog (they will also be signed), and you can ask your independent bookshop to order a paperback copy for you. @roundaboutbooks does have both hardback and paperback, so you can order through them wherever you live as they can ship to you and their copies will be signed.

Barnes & Nobles and other national distributors of books will also have the paperback format available. And the audiobook is available where audiobooks stream - Audible, Apple Books, etc.

Most importantly, may this book be a resource you return to again and again with each new creative or growth journey you embark on, providing the reassurance, inspiration, and motivation to trust your inner compass and share, discover, and create what you yearn to unearth.

The last Friday in August is here! And always appearing on any Friday is the This & That Day on TSLL blog! Stop by for a full post of oodles of finds in films, books, series, autumnal clothing and more! But first! Grab your cuppa! And then settle in. Even before the ‘BIG’ kickoff of the fall entertainment season begins, there are oodles of finds from books, films, and gorgeous autumn collections for the wardrobe. A new French film takes us back to a figure in French history who is complex, yet played a powerful role in the country’s history. A favorite British mystery series returns, a fun rom-com set in Britain premieres, and there are books about money, walking about in London, how to love and care for our dogs well so that they thrive, and the clothes… goodness! Get ready to get cozy and look ever so stylish while you do so. Still, there is more!
