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!

LADY PATIENCE IS WAITING...HOPING...DREAMING...

Lady Patience is dressed in her finest gown...


waiting for him. 
 

 She has arranged her skirt perfectly 
on her Victorian settee... 


hoping to be a vision of beauty 
when he enters the drawing room. 
 

He sent her a lovely bouquet of flowers.
Queen Victoria tells her the meaning 
of each different flower;
"Primrose, 'I can't live without you', 
Lilac 'First emotions of love' and
Apple Blossom 'Preference'."

There was a Golden Key attached
which made the Queen's heart leap for joy. 

The Queen whispered to Patience
what they all meant together,
" I prefer you above all others in these 
emotions of our blossoming love. 
I can't live without you and offer you 
the key to my heart."  


 Her heart was fluttering as she waited 
and wondered what the future 
would hold for her and her beloved.


But she remains "patient" just as her parents 
had named her on her Day of Christening. 
 

And then she hears a gentle tapping 
on her door. 
 

Her patience has been rewarded with 
his timely arrival. 

He bows before her and kisses her 
lovely soft hand...

***** 
This fabulous Theater Doll has been 
created by yours truly, Marie Antoinette. 
I loved making her and using the 
elegant fabrics that fulfilled my 
 vision for Lady Patience. 

I enjoy making my Theater Dolls 
so much. If you have a spare moment 
please stop by my Etsy Shop to see my 
other theater dolls I've created. 
Lady Patience is now for sale in my 
Etsy Shop, 
Creations by Marie Antionette.
I'd love for you to come visit!

Thank you so much for your comments 
and visits! I really appreciate you taking 
the time to give your thoughts about our 
posts and ideas for creating.

And a big thanks for welcoming 
Edie Marie to my blog. We love to work 
together and she can do some of the 
things on this blog of ours that I find 
too challenging these days. 
We are "sisters" in spirit and love sharing in 
each others lives even though there 
are many miles between us! 

 Love & hugs, 
Marie Antoinette 
XOXO

  7. HELLO YOU TWO lovely friends! It is such a sweet moment to come here to look at the beautiful art, to see the sidebar photos of Marie's ranch and the peacocks, and to see MINNIE and HENRY and their little cygnets! Isn't life sweet with nature around?

    Dearest M.A., your creation is stunning, and I especially love her with the light at night! I know the time it takes to construct something so detailed, and you put so much time and love into your pieces. I hope you are both well, getting cozy for FALL! We are still having warm and a unusually long growing season here. Much love to both of you and thank you for visiting! Anita

  22. What a lovely story to go with your beautifully constructed doll. The language of flowers with the key was a nice touch. I'd never considered that the flowers could be put together for one long message. What a nice idea!
