Four of us ladies decided to have our
own little fan swap.
Our participants were:
Wanda Buxton of Roses In Winter Part II ,
Kelly Deal of Dreaming of Vintage,
Marie Antionette
and Sherry.
We asked each other for input as to
what our favorite themes were and
then got creative!
Marie's fan creation for Kelly Deal -
Marie's theme was "Halloween" for
Kelly's fan at Kelly's request. It's
elegant yet spooky... watch out for
those creepy spiders Kelly!
Kelly's fan creation for Marie -
Kelly went with a Marie Antoinette
theme for Marie's fan. Her design
made it an expanding fan as you
can see in the photos.
*******
Sherry's fan creation for Wanda was
Marie Antoinette. Sherry used a mixed
media approach, paper, lace, vintage buttons,
ribbon roses, dimensional stickers and sparkles.
*******
Wanda's fan creation for Sherry was
Marie Antoinette also. Wanda used
a Journaling approach with lovely
tags peeking out of pockets.
We all loved the fan that was
created for us! Thanks for a
great swap gals!
*******
We'd also like to bring your attention
to a couple of great shops.
Kelly Deal has a sweet Etsy shop under
Kelly Deal Designs. You'll find some great
creations there that Kelly has made for
your pleasure.
*******
Wanda Buxton has a great Etsy
shop called Rosesinwinter. Take a look
at the beauty she's created to make
available to you.
*******
Another friend is Pat Jones of
Summer Darlings. She has an Etsy shop
called TheVelvetRabbit.
Lovely creations for us to admire and
purchase.
Pat also has an Ebay shop that you see if
you click here. You can see a beautiful
Angel Wreath that Pat has made.

Well that's all for now sweet friends!
Have a HAPPY THANKSGIVING
from Marie & Sherry!

Hi Marie Antoinette and Edie,

MY DEAR ONES!
ReplyDeleteLike always, your creations are fresh and happy! I had my first art show yesterday and one of the consistent compliments I got was that my work made people smile. I only made three sales but I guess that is typical especially in this economy. One man however was making a killing at his booth selling calenders with cuss words on them...oh well, that's society for ya!
LOVE TO YOU ALL and HAPPY THANKSGIVING! Anita
Hi Girls, What a wonderful fan swap. Every one is gorgeous and shares so much talent among you. You will all have these lovelies to enjoy for years to come.
ReplyDeleteThe shops of everyone you share are fabulous. I have visited all these great shops over the years and their designs are amazing.
Thank you for sharing. So fun to catch up this morning and wish you both a very special and Happy Thanksgiving.
Sending hugs,
Love you, Celestina Marie
Happy Thanksgiving sweet ladies!... I hope your day is filled with lots of good food, family and friends, and many blessings... xoxo Julie Marie
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving. Many blessings to you both with love, health, happiness and joy. Enjoy this day.
ReplyDeleteLove to you both always. CM
My darling and most lovely friend! SO NICE TO SEE YOU VISITED! Please come by the new post I just put up, right now. You will see my sentiments on my first art show last week, and see a piece I created that got me a job to make a paper wedding dress for a bridal shop window display.
ReplyDeleteYOU TOO ARE WORKING LIKE MAD IN YOUR ATELIER? WORKSHOP? ME TOO!
LOVE AND HUGS and come by when you can. Anita
MARIE MY DEAR! Thank you for visiting today and yes, the economy, the TYPE of show I was in and lots of LEARNING on my part are parts of a whole that I just wasn't ready for.

ReplyDeleteHi Girls, thank you for stopping by and your visits this week. It has been a hectic time since Thanksgiving and I have moments of time caught up then it gets crazy again.
ReplyDeleteYour kind comments really gave me a lift and thank you for that. Marie, your Santa is right at home in my living room redo. Love it on the vintage hutch.
Sherry, thank you too for stopping by and your kind comment on the redo. You saw it in person before, so I am glad you liked the change. We are enjoying the lighter look on the walls too. Kind of full circle from when we first moved in and really glad to be back to a lighter look.
I am sure you girls are busy and decorating your homes.
Looking forward to seeing your pretties.
Enjoy and have a wonderful day.
Love to you both, Celestina Marie
Hi girls,
ReplyDeleteSherry thanks so much for your visit. I could really use your help in getting the word out that there is still great need in New York. If you could ake time in your busy schedules to see my latest post and possibly put a link to my blog on your, it would be so much appreciated!
Be blessed,
Lorena
Hello my dear friend Marie and Edie, thank you for your visit. No have not yet done Christmas decorating here, my fault cause I decided to paint the dining room, bad mistake, wrong time of the year to paint, although done now things are not yet back in order, everything takes time. Plus I do boutiques and busy making things. Wow, have to slow down or catch up, which one should I do? Your Christmas Village must be lovely, the fans are amazing, gorgeous work. Hugs..Lu
ReplyDeleteHi Marie, such gorgeous things on this post!!!! Just beautiful! Someone put a huge smile on my face yesterday. YOU! What a sweet and thoughtful thing to do. I adored my beautiful peacock Merry Christmas greeting card. Thank you Marie for being you and a blog friend. xoxo
