When You Just Love Shoes...

Of course after I shipped the Marie Antoinette shoe I missed it too much. So, I made another...

This one is a softer pink and is a "modern" Marie Antoinette~
I love the feathers! What do you think?~So Delicate~~With dupioni silk bows~
I currently decided to expand Fanciful and am holding in the details as I want to keep it a surprise for you! I will share the details next month when I plan on launching it. I appreciate all your comments and support always! I can hardly wait! xoxo Noel

Who doesn't love cupcakes?

Today was one of those days where everything just fell in to place. I met Mike for lunch and after I wanted a coffee so I went next door to grab one and ran into an old friend that I went to design school with. Her Name is Christi Remland, little did I know, she's an exceptionally good baker and makes some ultra delightful cupcakes!
I had to share, as I died when I saw she bakes them in nut cups! These look like droplets from heaven. When we met, over 5 years ago she was so talented and creative... but I had no idea she was a true confectionery artist. She has traveled to Chicago to learn the tricks and techniques and now offers her wonderful talent for events, parties, weddings and more. I will be ordering these nut cup cupcakes from her for my next festivity!

Tutu from Moi Atelier...

She has French pleats on her waist... wears a Hand-dyed pastel pink crepe paper Tutu embellished with swarovski crystals in the paper flowers....

She has a paper flower bow that flows from her back...

As she sits on a vintage silver stand..

Her Ballet Slippers rest below her Tutu Dress...

Appreciate the detail of her dress...

It looks like shes constantly spinning with her soft layers...

Thank you Marie for your idea and thinking of Fanciful Designs to create this Tutu!

Creations, Loves and some of Home...

My Goyard. I bought this 6 years ago from a Flea Market here in California. At the time when I got it, I had noooo idea what it was. I have never heard of "Goyard" And obviously, the seller didn't know either because I paid a lot less than it's worth!! :0

A few years later, my parents came home from Paris and I noticed my moms new purse my dad bought her from Goyard. She told me everything about Goyard and said how amazing it is.

I went home that night and went to my trunk to get some shells out of it... then I looked closely and noticed it had the same pattern on it that was on my moms purse!

I looked closer and saw "G O Y A R D P A R I S" Engraved in the metal. I Screamed So LOUD of excitement as my heart dropped to the floor. I found a treasure, my own and I will have this forever. It's the only purse I'll every carry. What's your favorite purse??
