Dangerous Liaison

Today is my friend, Barbara's birthday and thought to feature her new line of lovely lace creations at her new Etsy store, Dangerous Liaison.

Some of you may remember Barbara Lowe from an earlier feature I did for her shop The Queen's Royal Rocks, where she sells her fabulous jewelry creations.

This new line of baroque lace and jewels with the gorgeous French flair is a bit avante guarde, a lot sexy, and presents a style beyond compare.

Take a peek at her shop and order up as each piece is an original and no one will have again the exact same design as you are wearing. Think of the compliments !!

Happy Birthday my dear "Sister of the Heart" !! I wish I could fly across the pond and bake you a cake and drink pink martini's with you to celebrate.

xoxo,

The French Coach Couple and Louie XIV

While doing research on Versailles I came across the famous Jeff Koons. He created both of these beautiful stainless steel statues in 1986 and I know my readers will love the new Renaissance of these two pieces with all of the interest in Marie Antoinette and Versailles.

The French Coach couple at right is 17 x 15 1/2 x 11 3/4 inches and was made only with Editions of 3.

The handsome King Louie XIV, below right, is also in stainless steel and hopefully still displayed at Versailles. It measures 46 x 27 x 15 inches and must be absolutely stunning in person. There were 3 Editions of the piece also.

Jeff Koons also has a wonderful book published on Versailles. It says of the book, "the splendid extravagance of the palace of Versailles as a backdrop for the gregarious, loud and equally extravagant sculptures of contemporary American Pop artist Jeff Koons, who mounted the first contemporary art exhibition ever in the apartments of the king in September 2008."

I have the book on order and am extremely excited to review it for myself.

We are hopefully planning a visit to Versailles in the coming year, just the girls on an excursion to remember !

Paris, here we come !!

I have a secret to reveal about Versailles myself and may be able to tell in the next few weeks !

Monkey Moo Moo now Open Open Open

Au Claire de la Lune Columbine and Pierrot

"Au clair de la lune

Mon ami Pierrot

Prete-moi ta plume
Pour écrire un mot."

Pretty Columbine, how Pierrot loved her. She teased him a bit, but eventually left him for Harliquen.

I do love this image as it feels so Venetian Carnivale. The background texture and frame lend such a vintage feel to the card, which is printed on the back with an equally lovely vintage texture. Little birds and pink roses just add to the romantic feel of this card set.

I haven't had alot of time to create so really this was a bit of relaxing fun and creativity for me. I hope to produce more in this venue ( carnivale, mardi gras) as the summer gets underway and my wedding schedule for invitation and placecard orders are under control and shipped. For now I hope you enjoy them as much as I did creating them !

This set can be purchased right now at the Etsy store for Paper Nosh. Always beautifully gift wrapped for each and every Paper Nosh customer.

To The Immortal Memorie of the Incomparable for Maire Antoinette New Masquerade or Event Invitations

Paper Nosh is always so busy with wedding that in the back of my mind is the next design waiting in the que to be created. Designed this fun event invitation on the fly the other night at 2 a.m.

Hard to view here unless you click on it and see it in a bigger size, but the printing is to die for and the envelopes that are the palest of pink and handmade in Italy are just as chic.

We love the idea of a "Chic Decay" invitation, thinking of a wonderful ballroom styled like Versailles or even an ancient Grecian Temple, with a touch of grunge or vintage feel. The theme being that of the guests dressed in Venetian Carnivale costume or with fabulous powdered wigs and grand soiree costume as Marie Antoinette or French Courtesans !

The first photo shows the front side of this invitation with a Follies Bergere "Marie Antoinette" and will add to the charm and decadence of the event.

Custom colors can be created too, in Teal, Aqua or even Sepia.

These will be available soon at PaperNosh.com in our "Events" invitation category and are being shown now at the Paper Nosh Etsy store as flat notes with the reverse left blank for your correspondence or to have personalized with a name or business name on the blank banner as shown above .

Coordinating postage stamps are available in my Zazzle store for Paper Nosh. pauletteparis*

Paper Nosh New Wedding Invitation Design La Boheme

Designs of new wedding invitations have gone into the PaperNosh.com web site. We receive many requests for custom colors and this chocolate and gold with touches of butter yellow aptly named "La Boheme", after my favorite opera, was just such a request.

The original chandelier design that has almost become a Paper Nosh trademark appears in chocolate on this invitation with a shimmering golden bird. We just love using the Czech crystal buckles and this design was no exception. The small round buckle lends itself beautifully to the wide double faced satin ribbon. To compete the look the paisley invitation folder is enclosed in a shimmering bridal-cream outer envelope. Each lovely invitation is sent off with a coordinating postal stamp depicting the coordinating chocolate chandelier.

If you are interested in having Paulette design a custom invitation just for your wedding or soiree please contact her at paulettedesignsinc@att.net

AOL users please add this email to your approved senders list before contacting Paulette or our replies will land in your spam folders.

Valentine Dreams

Two Valentine designs for card sets available from my shop on Etsy , PaperNosh.Etsy.com .

The first is glittery and pretty with chubby cherubs and a bohemian motif, so chic, so subtle for a sparkling Valentines Day ! The second a lacy toile background and the inclusion of A Versailles Garden and a love letter written by my favorite artist, Maurice Leloir to his wife. "Je T'aime" has been a favorite for my clients to send at this romantic time of year.

Paulette Designs Inc for Figure Magazine Feature

Its out ! The new Gift Guide from Figure Magazine with a fabulous one page spread of my new Baroque Damask Wedding invitations !!

I am so excited as my Invitations and the Baroque Dessert Plate Sets from Pink Paris Design's "Pink Boutique" are on a FULL page. My page is as big as Bloomingdales featuring darling sparkly headbands from Juicy Couture ! Who knew ! I really didn't expect to have this big of a feature so as you can tell I am extremely excited.

The cover of the issue is Winona Judd and has a lovely article with great photos.


Granted, I am very proud of the invitations and with the professional photography and glossy paper of the issue they are to die for !

The invitations are available at my new web site PaperNosh.com or on the PaperNosh.Etsy site and can be ordered with or without the German Crystal Buckles, substituting a lovely looped knot using the black double faced satin ribbon. They are fully customizable with different fonts and many beautiful colors available for the damask and Tea Length Envelopes.
