Beautiful Belle Inspiration!

a p p r o a c h  t o  t h e  h a m e a u

from the story  "L'Hameau de la Reine Marie Antoinette"

I am thrilled to have my photo story on Marie Antoinette's hameau featured in this month's issue of 
Belle Inspiration Magazine!

You can see the article here
from Belle Inspiration's Facebook page

And what a beautiful issue it is, filled with all things romantic, feminine, fun, and French!


I've found lots of new Etsy shops I need to visit, and also several new blogs I need to check out.  And at under $20 for not just one, but TWO subscriptions, it makes the perfect gift for yourself and a friend!

Thank you Mimi Bleu, for doing such a wonderful, creative job with your magazine!



**********

I haven't posted in two weeks because my internet has been down.  While that was sort of frustrating on one hand, on the other, it was just what I needed to get me off of Pinterest!!!


God's in charge, even with the internet!


So, while I had some time, I finished a 
Mixed Media art piece


















played with BooBoo...












And I read a lot of French books...






Cleaned out one of my art storage closets in the mudroom, which looked like this




and now looks like this




except that the counter and sink are now gone, and tomorrow the darling Monsieur Master Carpenter who lives here will begin to transform this space into a new powder room.




I also switched out the stuffing in my globes de mariage, on the fireplace mantle, 








Oh, but I lost that tall one when the big picture frame to the right blew off the wall from the explosion in my fireplace...
I will not tell you about that, except to say


I AM NO LONGER ALLOWED AROUND FIRE!!!!


And I was also tagged by the ever-so-sweet Irina, and have to answer some probing [fun] questions, but that will take some thinking...


There is still room in our 
Photography Workshop in Paris and Normandy
July 6-11

  2. Hello!

    I found you from visiting Irina and am now a follower. What a lovely collage/painting/mixed media piece. I think it is stunning. I also love your photos from Versailles, it is one of my favorite places in the world to visit.

    I hope that you were not hurt in the explosion and that the only thing lost was your cloche.

    Have a wonderful weekend.

  3. Oh Dawne, where do I begin??
    First of all, I am so glad the wonderful Elizabeth has discovered you and your remarkable art! She is such a kind, beautiful friend...and her blogs are terrific.

    Chere Dawne, Congratulations on the Belle Inspiration! How very exciting...I know Anita and Ruben have also been featured, and it is a stunning publication. I need to subscribe, I keep missing so much beauty.
    And I'm so glad you are ok..oh my goodness, your fireplace exploded???
    But I must say, that mixed media piece is stunning...
    Give little BooBoo a kiss on the nose from me ;)
    Love and blessings,

  7. Dawne!! The painting you shared is so gorgeous...I had a very hard time narrowing down the Hassam works. I may have to do a post dedicated to this man! :)
    Art History is one of my passions, but other than one course in college, I never really studied it in depth. (Not yet!)
    Wish I would have had you for my teacher!
    Bisous,
    - Irina

  10. Is BooBoo a Cairn Terrier? He's adorable! We have two Cairns - Boswell and Archie - and they have that same peeping-through-the-bangs curious look. Love your blog.

  12. Dawne,
    You have been a busy one lately. That is great news about the Belle Inspiration Magazine!! Your stunning pictures are appreciated by us all. I love your art storage closet, but I look forward to seeing the new powder room. I just love the globes on your mantel. I have been wanting to get glass globes or jars because you can see all the goodies inside. I'm so happy for you to be featured in this lovely magazine. Congratulations.
