Puppet of Marie Antoinette


I think this needle-felted puppet of Marie Antoinette is divine!! 
I have contacted Laura Lee Burch, the artist, to see if she will make one for me in the year ahead. 
Maybe a little smaller than the one above.
 I can just see this beautiful puppet living in  my French armoire and coming out to be part of my Marie Antoinette themed tree scene at holiday time.
Some things like this puppet make me so happy and I wish I could create something beautiful like her.
 But I lack any real artistic skills. My talent seems to be ability to find lovely things and appreciate them.
So it is with baited breath I await her decision.Keep pink fingers crossed! 
Have a Pink day!

Courting settee a perfect spot for taking tea









A treasure we found at Scott's Antique Market a few months ago. 
It is an 18th century French courting settee. Original for the most part and I left it alone .
I had a new silk cushion made for it and that is the end of the" restoration". I adore it. 
I can move it around for a party, I can relax on it with a cup of tea and I can certainly see gifts set on it near the Pinkmas tree!
Having all these pretty objects from 18th century France just feeds my soul and my fantasy of living in that time period.
Have a Pink day!

Swans and more swans

 Swan Princess oh how I want to have this!!She is soo pretty


 I'm wearing this hat next year in Charleston, SC Easter Parade

 Swan rocker can't find it anywhere!! Love it the dogs would love to sit in it.
Swan wall art I'd like it even more as an entire swan
I google swans a lot. Many times I learn new facts about swans. Sometimes new images pop up and I find a source for some lovely swan artwork or hat .
I keep my eyes open for swans to put around my swan theme Pinkmas tree. I like to add new elements.
Now I must save my money for swan hat and swan princess soft  swan art work.
Have a Pink day!

Pink swans

 Pink swans!!! 
It really is very hard to be good and not buy things when they come as a double whammy of things I adore PINK and A SWAN. Now come on,  how could I not want them? At least they were not expensive.
Swans make me so happy, as does the color pink.My own brand of double  happiness.

Quest for the pink mercury glass trees

I found this photo on Pinterest ( I think) and have wanted these pink trees for over 2 years now.
I think they came from Michael's craft store.but I didn't see them there to buy them.
Now I can't find pink mercury glass trees anyplace!! I would think they would be a popular item! 
If anyone sees these please leave me a comment. 
They fit in so well with all my Pinkmas decorations.
Have a Pink day!
