They Say May Flowers Bring June Brides...

and they DO!

Here's a magnificent 
"June Bride"
by Marie Antoinette!

What a lovely creation.

She's holding her tiny bouquet

as she prepares to walk down 

the aisle to her beloved. 

 

Then the little theater reveals a 

glimpse of the bride and groom having 

their first dance. 

 

The  wedding cake awaits 
the traditional cutting of the cake 
as they dance under the arbor of roses. 

Note: This is one of Marie's past creations that 
sold on her Etsy. To see of her creations that

***************************

I wanted to create a special gift 
for Marie (which was supposed to be 
a 2012 Christmas gift, but you know 
how that story goes) and so I sent it to 
her as an EARLY birthday present, 2013!

It's a dimensional scene of Marie Antoinette. 
 

The initial "M" is done in french blue 

ribbon and adorned with silk rose buds.

Perfect for our sweet Marie's initial!

 

The lace of her skirt flows out  
from the pillow as her pink satin skirt 
billows as she moves about.

. 

Marie carries some fresh roses 
that her son picked lovingly for her
and a birdcage that represents 
her love for wildlife. 

A fluffy fru-fru for the 
top of her head... 
 

and a beaded scallop for the lace 
portion of her skirt provide a 
bit of "Marie" detail. 
 

The pillow found a perfect location in the 
corner of Marie's swan fainting sofa! 
She looks very happy there. 

I had sent Marie another pillow that 

was adorned with an embroidered crown 

and sprinkled with sparkles. 

It lives in her favorite snugly chair 

waiting for her to cuddle up. 

 

The corner is completed with Marie's 

treasures and sweet little lamp. 

 

Is this gorgeous or what?!

 

But this picture wouldn't be complete 

without her favorite snuggle buddy...

 

and believe me she's a sweetheart!!
Marie loved her long awaited surprise.

**********

I then received a surprise gift 
from Marie... 
 

a gorgeous Parisian fan! 
 

 Marie knows my heart and that 
it's in Paris half the time! LOL

 The shabby black rose tulle trim is 
fabulous...

and the vintage style keys dangling 
from the ribbons really finish it off. 
 

 But of course she had me at the sparkle!

She knows I'd love that sparkly edge.
Thanks Marie, I love it!!

 Thank you for your prayers for Linda! 
They are working and she's making 
great progress on her long journey.
She has had surgery to remove 
a tumor from her pancreas and 
so far it looks like she will be 
one of those rare survivors. 
A long recovery and more chemo 
make this a long road to travel and 
your prayers are appreciated so much!!

Also please remember Marie's grandson, 
Courtland, as he serves in the US Navy. 
All our servicemen and servicewomen 
need our prayers daily. Thank you!
