CREATIONS BY MARIE ANTOINETTE & EDIE MARIE

Welcome to our Team Blog! Marie Antoinette & Edie Marie have joined together to create a fun place to share our ideas and lives with all of you. We know that our teaming up has been confusing for some of you and we apologize. We will refer to ourselves as Marie Antoinette (the Doll Creator & maker of fabulous items) who lives in Peacock Paradise and Edie Marie (the creator of the posts and story telling on this blog & amateur crafter of many things in my "attic") who lives on Golden Pond. What great fun we have combining our forces!!

Thank you for stopping by to see what's happening in our studios in Peacock Paradise and on Golden Pond!

A FAN SWAP

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.

  6. MY DEAR ONES!

    Like 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

  18. Hi 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.

    Your 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

  20. 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
