Marie's Danse des Fleurs

                                                        My Angel Centerpiece!


A most amazing weekend presented by artist Cassandra VanCuren!  I exhibited my work and sold LOTS of my vintage finery to new artful friends! ( but I think I spent everything I made buying other artist's treasures!) The highlight was the Grand Ball!  We were decked out Marie style and said "LET THEM EAT CAKE!!!"

My Vintage Embellished Buckles!

A favorite of my creations are my one of a kind, vintage embellished belt buckles! They are a feast for the eyes!I feel so happy when they are sold to the perfect person because they can't be replicated.  I have a series of 12 new designs which will be posted soon!  Be FABULOUS my friends!!!

Fabulous WOMEN/Furs in the Forest, 2011




In the spirit of feeling beautiful, looking beautiful, and being FABULOUS this past Valentines Day my vision was to be one with my camera and the forest and  to capture the beauty of  amazing women who gifted themselves and/or their husbands with the greatest gift of all!! AMAZING day!

Old World Crackled and embellished cross

I loved embellishing this cross with vintage findings!  It has a new home with a very special person in central Florida...the other one I created, in pinks and blues just had to stay with me at my cozy cottage!  I am in the process of designing 2 more which are spoken for! I adore working on these because I think about the beauty of having faith ... Be Fabulous Friends!

Mount Dora has my Heart!

I adore my "Cozy Cottage" in the wonderful historic town of Mount Dora, Florida!  When I arrived for Spring break, I was greeted by a fence full of the most beautiful purple wisteria I have ever seen!! when we first bought the house, we thought it was a weed, we almost cut it down, but decided to wait until Spring! I am SO GLAD we did!!  It smells divine and it is rare to ever see it growing in Florida!  I give thanks for simple, beautiful pleasures such as this!!!...P.S....A wonderful "Artful Afternoon Tea Event" is in the works to be held in Mount Dora!!  Details to follow!! Be Fabulous my Friends!!!
