Marie Antoinette tags and other pretties

Paulette at Paper Nosh  click here:http://lapinkpaperie.blogspot.com/  has just added some new items to her line of wonderful papers, invitations and cards. I've already placed an order for the Marie Antoinette tags in the top photo. I will have to dream up a party so I can order the lovely mint and pink invitations too.

I think presentation of gifts and party invitations is very important. Not just for the visual pleasure, but lovely paper sets the tone and tells the guest or gift recipient that you care.

I save all my invitations that I send out so I can remember what I have sent and also just fun to have them all in a box. Looking through them brings back many happy memories.

Monogram of Marie Antoinette and her birthday

Happy Birthday Marie Antoinette

My new bed linens from Number 411 in Savannah

November 2,1755 is the birthday of Marie Antoinette rather than focus on her sad fate today I would rather look at something fun and beautiful about her life.

Marie Antoinette had such a pretty monogram I had to "borrow" it for myself. I have so many things with this monogram but oddly enough I had not done the most common or traditional thing-- add it to my bed linens! Monograms, I understand, were a way of marking who owned what linen and silver and other items. They were a practical thing that became artwork. In  the case of royality like Marie Antoinette she really had fun with her monogram, it is on the stairway in the Petit Trianon,

On books in her library

    Her headboard

 and on pieces of her furniture, on flower pots at the Petit Hameau

on a key

Ornament from Paper Nosh

You can order her monogram on gift tags and ornaments from Paulette at Paper Nosh to have a touch of the monogram in your life!

I have several other ideas for using the monogram and will share those soon.

Have a Pink day!

Valentine Love to you lovely reader!

Swan Love and Valentines

Paper Nosh Valentines to mail out

Joy to you on Valentine's Day. My Valentine's to send out arrived from Paper Nosh on a cold winter day. It was sunny and the package in itself is a treat. The bows usually find their way onto Charlotte's (Pink Cat) collar. I hope all my Valentine 's arrived in time to each dear friend. I can't show you as they may not have reached their destinations yet.

Wishing you love forever ---now go hug someone!
Have a Pink day!

Paper Nosh's Paulette is a magical person

I ordered one of Paulette's new items --a box full of Marie Antoinette gift tags. Some are of Marie Antoinette and some are of a cake. The details are fantastic. Lots of sparkly bits.

The box is special as are the tags. Everything she does is perfection. And a lot of it is pink perfection! It is a gift just opening the package. The box is meant to be saved and used again to hold love letters or other treasures. I have ideas rolling around in my PINK brain of how to use these tags.

Have a PINK day!
