There is a Celebration in blogland today . . . hosted by Cupids Charm Marie Antoinette was born on ~ November 2, 1755 ~ It is truly amazing that she remains so fascinating hundreds of years later.
~~~
Does Marie Antoinette inspire your creative side, your design ideas, your French Country home?
French perfume bottles and antique vanity items make for a lovely display.
Perhaps Marie had something similar to this hand embroidered linen keep for her favourite hankies
Pink Lace and ivory flowers ~ fit for a Queen
My favourite French Tapestry ~ It hangs above my bed
Needlepoint rugs are frequently found in my home ~ always room for one more : )
My collection of feathers also seems to be growing
I love using beautiful materials to make pretty pinkeeps
I am looking forward to visiting the many blogs participating in the Marie Antoinette Birthday Celebration ! Thank you to our hostess at Cupids Charm.

Love your site! I use to work at a Living History Museum and got to wear lots of wonderful things.
Wow! I love your blogspot! I collect antique linens and repurpose the ones that are damaged into pillows and aprons. Thanks for all of your lovely pictures!
Lovely post. I love Marie Antoinette, and I do believe after all these years, she is still a fashion icon.
Love,
