I'm Dreaming of A Pink Christmas

Yesterday was my big birthday  and I took the time to take these photos of the Marie Antoinette Playhouse.  If you read my blog you'll know that it was just a run-down shack of a little house who no one had really loved in years.   It was a rental next door to us and a sort of sore thumb to say the least.   The last time it came up for rent we decided it would be perfect for a little Paper Nosh/Marie Antoinette Playhouse, ( As my lovely friend, Bea in the UK, has dubbed it !)  So we painted it pink with color advice from Fifi at Romantic Country Magazine.  Pink house, aqua shutters and mint green trim !

Well....she is decked out for Christmas in her pink icicle lights and little forest trees with pink sparkly bulbs and a wreath made up of pink Vintage Christmas ornaments from Alanda at Krause House on Etsy who graciously made for my house last year, but so perfect to fit right in this year with the studio colors !

We are taking a Christmas break soon to rest and enjoy our own Christmas and spend a little time continuing the on-going organization of the studio paper, glitter, boxes, wrap, files, computers, new kitty, named AntoinettieNosh ( Whew!).  So please send your thoughts and any requests or suggestions for card designs for next year :))

Paper Nosh Studio Pink Marie Antoinette Christmas Tree

We took some sweet photos of our Marie Antoinette Playhouse pink Christmas Tree.  Its one of those things that makes a "happy place" and warms my heart to turn on the little lights each morning when I come into the studio.

The pretty Marie Antoinette doll sitting so pretty by the tree is a "rescue" from Ebay.  She's one of those rare half dolls from the 1920's made of chalk-ware.   When I received her she was naked with just her pretty white hair and perfect make-up.  Her face took my breath away !  The funny thing is that there is actually the initials, "MA" carved into her back. I didn't know that when I bid on her, but just felt she would be such a pretty addition to my collection.  I ordered the dress from China for less than three dollars and dressed her and this is the outcome.  She is one of my most beloved treasures and I'm sure is enjoying her "first" Christmas here in the studio.  The other Marie with the Eiffel Tower base is another pretty from Sugar Cookie.

The pretty blue ribboned box is our gift wrap this year for our Calligraphy Initial mugs we sell in the PaperNosh.com gift section. The blue reminds me of a snowy evening and I just know "Marie" appreciates them :) Happy Holidays and Happy Hanukkah to everyone !!
