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!

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 
are available for purchase hop on over to 
  Creations by Marie Antoinette Etsy. 
 
***************************

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!!

********************
Thanks for stopping by to see what 
we've created. 

We have so much fun surprising 
each other with little treasures!

Have a blessed week friends, 
Marie & Edie
XOXO

*******************
 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!

  7. I am always amazed at all of your beautiful creations and the lovely things you collect. I have a Lady of Shallot inspired bedroom. I wish you could walk through and give me ideas to make it even more special. I just made a romantic pillow out of vintage materials that I'm going to post tomorrow. I hope you'll stop by and give me your thoughts! Sweet hugs!

  21. Thoughts and prayers to Marie as she continues her treatment and recovery. My mom fought a short, but triumphant, battle against bile duct cancer this winter and is currently cancer free. Miracles do happen, especially with today's medical advances and treatments.

    Thanks for stopping by my posts on Vignette Design Series and leaving a comment. I truly appreciate it.

    Happy 4th of July...
