Just popping in to wish myself Happy Birthday ! I bought this for myself on Ebay and if I do say so myself quite a sweet little snipe. A pretty vintage Marie Antoinette Hatpin or hairpin. I have already used the image in the collage tribute to the French Court Ladies and she is beautiful. Yippee!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME ~ HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME !!!
My Peculiar Aristocratic Title is:
Her Most Serene Highness Lady Paulette the Somnolent of Chalmondley St Peasoup
I was inclined to create a little collage with the wonderful portraits of these most fabulous court ladies. The sky background is a photo I took of an Okahoma sunset, of course not that same color but the ladies prefer the french aqua blue! I hope you enjoy this !
I've just been reading the most wonderful blog about Mdme. Vigee le Brun, portraitist to Maire Antoinette. I have been so absorbed that I have neglected my work, so thought to share its contents with those of you interested in such wonderful accounts of history. Especially this fabulous although tragic French history, of my favorite subject.
