Dressing Up Marie Style

 

This is the big week!

 

Im headed to Tampa this week to teach and participate in a weekend long event of Marie Antoinette festivities.

Cassandra VanCuren is the fabulous hostess of Danse Des Fleurs. I know she has worked incredibly hard to make this an unforgettable art workshop event, and Im so honored and thrilled to be a part of it!

One of the weekend festivities is the Grand Ball Saturday night.

Im excited to dress up, step back in time for the evening and play with the girls!!! 

 

 

Here are a few peeks of my outfit.

 My wig. I LOVE!!!  It looks like cotton candy.

 

 

Forget white powder wig....Im wearing my signature color!

 

 

 

 

These are a few close up shots of my dress.

These little beauties I found and purchased on Etsy and I altered them to compliment my dress.

 

I applied little butterflies to the back heel.

 

Outfits are ready and so are the class kits.

 

 

I'll have many photos and much to share when I return. 

Until than my friends....I hope you have a fantastic week!

 

XOXO

Valentine Birthday Love

 

Happy Valentines Day my sweet friends and visitors!

 

Valentines weekend is always a jammed pack festive event for me. My birthday just happens to be two days before Valentines.

So it tends to be one celebration after another. 

Grant, Vivian, and I are all February birthdays.

My poor husband does not get a break! LOL!!! 

We go from Christmas straight to birthdays, and I do NOT let him try and do the birthday/valentine combo. ;)

 

 

My husband surprised me with a fabulous Birthday Day gift.

Vintage 1940 Reed & Barton Silver Flatware

For years I've been wanting a beautiful silver flatware set. Not just any set tho'. I wanted a set that was vintage and had a beautiful feminine pattern. Nothing too masculine. 

The pattern name is French Renaissance

My husband connected with an antique dealer, and my Mother joined him in picking it out.

Beautiful! I am thrilled!!! 

 

 

 

My Valentines gift was a pair of the girliest shoes!

 

Love!!!

This was a surprise! He picked them out all on his own. I guess he knows me pretty well. Good job sweetie!

 

We have no real special plans for Valentines. Hubby and I decided instead of a romantic dinner for two we would rather include the children in our V-day plans.

 

I think taking the children out to eat on Valentines might be a bit crazzy. So instead I am going to cook a nice dinner and set the dining room table Valentine festive. The children will get a kick out of Mommy lighting the candles and sitting at the BIG table. :)

 

 

 

 

Remember when we were children back in school, and we would take a Kleenex box and decorate them using construction paper and stickers? Than, on Valentines Day you would walk around to each desk and drop your special valentines into your friends box. Afterwards, you would open ALL the valentines. What fun memories!

These darling V-day cards remind me of when I was a little girl and I collected WALL size posters of these cute snuggly animals.

I bought these for Vivian to sign and give to her friends.

 

 

Do YOU have special plans for Valentines Day? Please share!!!!

 

 

Happy Valentines Day!

Hugs and Kisses and Valentines wishes to you all!!!!
