I'm Back !!!

Hello one and all you wonderful people!!! I've missed you all so much. I'm glad to be back. I have been under the weather, but feeling better.I had what I called a near stroke. I'm OK. It did leave me with some numbness in my fingertips of my right hand , but not to the point I can't work or anything. Its just annoying to type for any long period of time. Also my short term memory is rattled I'm afraid. So please excuse any spelling and things like that. I intend to forget how to correct things and I do not want to bother my daughter to much , although she would help me in a heartbeat. She is working really hard right now. God bless her. It seems she doesn't get a break from it. I know most of you are being put though the mill also and know what I'm talking about .


I did have a wonderful visit from the two most perfect house guest ever. Sherry of Eddie Marie's Attic

and her sweet, sweet daughter in-law Chris. My hubby Bill even took off work and took all of us into New Orleans. We had the best time even if it was a quick trip. Sherry took some great pictures and I left the posting of them to her. So if you like, go on over to Eddie Marie's Attic and follow along with Sherry and Chris on their trip to our southern states. She met up with not only me but several other of our blogging friends. Go take a look and find out who. It was a sad day to see them leave. They did stay with me a couple of days. It was just to wonderful.



I want to show you all what beautiful gifts Sherry and her wonderful daughter in-law Chris gave me. First this drop dead gorgeous purse that Sherry made. Its just to fab.It fits me perfect.She knew I was short so she made it to fit me. Its so hard to buy purses, the best ones are so large, it looks like I'm carring suitcases, but this one is just right. Look at the broche !!! And all the pockets.The inside is just as wonderful.Pockets and a beautiful satin linning with bees printed on it. Amazing




This is the back of the purse, isn't it just gorgeous? I told Sherry she should make these purses and sell them. They are just to fab.









Look at these beautiful ear rings and Angel neckless Sherry gave me, are they not precious? The box they came in... ain't to shabby either. Thank you Sherry for all the wonderful gifts you gave me , they will be cherished.




This is Sherry and me siting out in the Gazbeo, I think we can talk for hours.Its really scary how much we are intuned to each other

OK ya'll !!! Look at this.Sherry is actually sucking a crawfish head. The best juices are in the head of this Louisiana muddbug. You don't know what it took for me to get her try this, but once she did...She was unstopable. At first she was convinced that the eyes would come out. But I told her they didn't. I'm telling you, she was eating these crawfish like a real southerner. I asked her ...Are you sure yor a yankee??? Her daughter in-law loved them too. So don't be ascared, come on down. LOL...If you dare. I'll have you sucking these crawfish heads and pinching their tails in no time.



Since this is June, and June is a month for weddings, I thought I would post these two older wedding dolls. I made these dolls, along time ago. But they are still two of my favs. The first one is of course a bride putting away her bridal wear in her hope chest for safe keeping and the second picture is of a bride in a gazebo all decorated for her wedding pictures. This doll vignette was actually used in a wedding as a center piece .
I want to say a special thanks to a special guy...Chris of Designs by CK. He gave me this Renee Award and it means so much to me. A truelly amazing artist. I'm one of his biggest fans and I count him as a good friend. I'm so sorry Chris that it took this long to post the award. XXO

I know this was kind of a short post, but I will try and do better next time.I will try and visit with everyone I know...LOL but it will take me a few days so bear with me. I want to see what all of you have been up to and also see what wonderful things that were made. Till my next post Buy ya'll and May God Bless You...XXOO

Marie Antionette

  15. My dearest Marie, I am so grateful to God that you are back and that you are well...I know that Sherry had such a good time with you and she just adores you, as I do too! I love seeing all the photos of you and Sherry; your home and peacocks are so impressive. YOU ARE A STUNNER! You are so pretty and I hope that your health continues to improve. We miss you and your absence has been noticed. I am just happy that you are functioning and hopefully, happy! I have to say, your dolls are just gorgeous. I am off of school for the summer and I attempted to embellish a doll that you might appreciate; I will post it sometime. Take good care of yourself dear one, and the memory of Sherry's stay with you I know for sure will always be precious to her, as well as to us who get to see the wonderful photos. I do wish you could hear my harp, it is so peaceful. Once I figure out how to download my own recordings to my playlist, I will play for everyone! God bless, Anita

  17. Hi Sweet Marie!

    Oh what fun we had!! You are like a sister to me and it was so hard to leave you that last day. But we will have more fun times in the future.

    What a treat it was to sit and watch your peacocks strut around looking for a girlfriend! I felt like I was in paradise.

    Your dolls are magnificent!! They are so detailed and artistic Marie. You put so much thought and love into each one. You are a doll artist and dont you forget it!

    And I'll NEVER forget the crawfish!! Oh I didn't think I could eat them but girl were they good! Wes said "you may not have sucked the eyeballs out but I think you probably were sucking the brains out of it". So I guess you would call it "brain food"? LOL Anyways it was delish.

    Love you Marie! Sherry

    PS Tell Bill "Hi" from us and give him a big hug!

  20. I'm so glad you are back - it sounds like it's been a little rough! If you can only type 2 words they will be a wonderful 2 words - don't push yourself too hard!
    Sounds like you and Sherry had fun! I think I would have a hard time sucking the head too! And I love shrimp, and lobster and such - never have had crawfish tho - and such sweet gifts she brought!
    Those dolls like all of your dolls are beautiful - I really like the one with the hope chest.
    I'm glad you are back - take care of yourself dear Marie Antionette!

  21. Hi Marie! so glad you are back and feeling better. I did open your door and peek in on you a couple of times and you were resting so I just backed out again. What a thrill it must have been to meet some bloggers. I just know you guys had a blast but I don't know if I could suck on those craw daddys heads. I have them down by the lake. Nope...can't do it. :) Stay well! xo Lynn

  23. Hello Marie,

    Soo good to see you are recovering. You are such a special lady.

    I would be like your friend in that it would probably take an awful lot of coaxing before you saw me sucking the life out of something so positively appetizing sounding as a "mud bug." (tee hee :) I'm sure I would though just from reading your post.

    Glad to have you back. Take your time with making the rounds. I know I'm not going anywhere.

    Love and hugs,

  27. Hi Marie,

    Wow, I love those beautiful Wedding dolls. Perfect for this time of year. My DH and I are married 10 years this December. I can't believe how fast the time flew by. We're off to Disney (where we got married!) for our anniversary, but we're going in October since it will still be warm and we can swim!

    Have a great day.

Hey, did you the notice the Marie the Garden Faery Queen that I made, that was at the end of the post? Yes, of course I saw that marvelous harp on Sherry's blog!
