Help me find the Marie Antoinette hand fan!


Happy Pink Saturday dear readers. Please click on link to the right How Sweet the Sound and visit more blogs with pink posts today!

Well, I am really inspired now after visiting her private apartments in Versailles (photos coming soon) and the little fantasy farm there too, by all things Marie Antoinette. I saw this image on Flicker and want to track down the person who made it. It is just such an excess of pinkness and Marie Antotnetteness and a hand fan too all the things I love!! I'd love to have one made and use it with my holiday tree.

I had several creative ideas in the last week or so and all revolve around her-- Marie Antoinette. I bet I think about her at least 2-3 times a day if not more often. All the time not just because of the trip. Or I think of the era and Madame de Pompadour too a lot. She is such an interesting character.

I won't tell you just yet what my creative ideas are--I'd rather start working on them and show you!

If anyone recognizes this image and knows the artist who made the fan please let me know via the comment section. Merci

Have a PINK day!
P.S. I found the artist-she is going to make me one! Thanks Cassandra! She is Stephanie of Stephanie's Cottage!! She has an Etsy shop and a blog. YEAH Go take a look.
