Is it Spring? "Oui".
A few new things for American Harvest (phew, just in time)!
New Crowns...
New Spring Boxes (with crowns inside)...
Blurry Boxes~!!
My new favorite thing!!!!
French Wedding Crowns/Wreath in a glass theater. Don't even ask me how long it took to make one. And it was even harder not adding one bit of glitter (not even teeny glittered stars!) I'm going to try making them sitting atop a little cushion with one of my glitter crowns in the middle. I'll add the flowers and bits of glitter And then a dome over it. But... I don't sew. So Colleen said she will help me with that. Merci!!
And if you wear a French Wedding Crown, you automatically get a French waist. Ha, I wish. Oui.
So this is what you were up to at the other house.
I adore those French wedding crowns!
Give you a French waist though? I would have thought you were after a French man, aka Johnny.
Victoria will be back for an encore!!

You are on a roll. The setting you used to shoot your work is dreamy and sets off each piece so well!
Happy Weekend!

My word, Donna! You have been a busy girl! I think you have cornered the market on dresden trims! Does the "Castle" have any left? Beautiful creations - a courtly "tour de force"! As for the French waist - I think I would need more than a few ribs removed to gain such curves. LOVE the wreath!
Posted by: Dorian Fletcher | March 02, 2008 at 10:01 PM
Love it Love it Love it all! Glad I found you!
Stop by my blog - am having a little giveaway.

That wreath is just gorgeous! I just got my Victoria magazine in the mail today (we get everything delivered via the pony express here) and your garden and house are exquisite! I still don't believe you're in SJ and that you didn't get a picture of Johnny gardening in a kilt.
Posted by: Christine | March 03, 2008 at 03:19 PM
Okay, I know that you do have a french waist!! I just know it!
Your creations are so beautiful, each one is breathtaking. They take me to some place else. They are so incredibly dreammmmmy!! xxo

Someone out there must have a wedding designed around your piece!!! Oh no...don't look at me. Although that waistline would be a bonus...
