Today I have the Marie shrines to share
that Sherie and I made on our visit a few weeks ago.
Sherie's is the gorgeous Marie in pink on the left,
along with her vintage jewels and gold lion.
And the Marie in Monet Blue on the right is mine.
As you may know,Marie was all about the glitter and gold and the latest fashions!
Some say that "Fashion" was born in France,
along with Marie,Louie and their court.
and as for the most popular"Let them Eat Cake" phrase,Marie actually never said that of the peasants; although she might have thought it!
We still like to imagine she did and love to add sweet cakes and desserts to her array of treasures!
the bits and bobs used are from various places and came from my hoard stash!
These shrines were such fun to make as I love working in miniature and also playing with paper dolls!
💜💜Thanks again Sherie for all the wonderful playtime! 💜💜
Hope you enjoyed the share of Marie extravagance,
now go Eat some Cake!!
Next up to share is a beautiful pin,an artist friend created and sent to me~Sue Marrazzo~
Sue is a mixed media artist and teacher and does some of the most gorgeous canvases!

Love your sweet shrines, you two Sweeties did great work there. Congrats on your win, and enjoy your new goodies, hugs, Valerie
Oh I still love Marie Antoinette and the ones you gals made are wonderful
I still have a magazine ? maybe somerset that came out few years ago when Marie was the hot item
YOu did a marvelous job on her
Thanks sweet girlies! Again, it is free flowing creativity when I am with Jackie! Especially with her amazing "stashes" (my 'stash has to be waxed, hahahhaha)!! Jackie is thebest!! XXX
Amazing shrines! Oh my gosh - you both made such fantastic art together! Unbelievable that two friends not only are chatting when they meet. Marie would just have made smalltalk when she had visitors I guess.. she would perfectly fit in todays Facebook & Twitter-world.
Maria Theresia was not very happy with her ... she was not what her mother taught her to be. But Marie is much more popular than her mother ...lol!!!
I gave my daughter Marie as a second prename. In rememberance of my granny Marie.
Wonderful made those shrines - absolutely WOWSERS!
And wow .. to have an original little painting from Sue! Great!
Fantastic gifts from lovely artists Brenda!
You are a very lucky girl - but no wonder that you got so much love sent- you are such a lovely artist and blogger!♥♥♥

I LOVE both of those Marie pieces...didn't you have fun?!!! And your pin from Sue is a delight...I'm loving mine too, and tip my hat to her for her creativity!
Seeing these pieces just gives me a vision of you two having fun together, picking out small bits and bobs and throwing glitter around :-) Your Marie looks positively regal. And how fun to see all the presents you received again! Enjoy them, and have a beautiful weekend! xxx
I just love those Marie shrines!! Congratulations on the draw win! A lucky week!
Ooh la Laaaaa the Marie's are magnifique!
Such lovely details ... each creation is a delight.
Funny how rumours get going and kept going even back then.
I just watched the Netflix mini series VERSAILLES
Mon Dieu! It has a bit of everything and more going on (hot and steamy some violence too).
I guess Marie moved in well after The Sun King ;-)
And how fun to get such lovely art mail!
