A Marie Antoinette Birthday Soiree!


You’re invited!!! On Sunday, November 2nd, I am hosting a birthday celebration for Marie Antoinette. This beautiful Queen of France still fascinates us today with her legendary style and taste. If Marie Antoinette inspires you too, please make plans to join the fun!

To participate, all you need to do is take photos of any Marie Antoinette inspired creation that you would like to share with everyone. It could be anything you’ve created (or purchased) that celebrates Marie Antoinette. Please leave a comment on this post to let me know you’d like to participate. On Sunday, November 2nd, I will list everyone’s links. Those participating will just need to have their item(s) posted on their blog by early Sunday AM. If you would like to participate but you don’t have a blog, you can still join the party by emailing your photos to me and I will add them to the party post. Be sure to include a brief description of your item(s).

Please feel free to copy the party button I made!! Then just blog about the party and add it to your blog sidebar to help get the word out! Let’s honor Marie Antoinette with a fabulous party!!

Whether Marie Antoinette’s dresses, fabrics, colors, hairstyles, glittering jewels or interior design inspires you, please share your MA interpretations with us! Let’s get creative and have fun! There are so many Marie Antoinette admirers out there and this will be a great way to celebrate her birthday and share our enthusiasm for all things Marie Antoinette!

Oh, this sounds very fun! Did Gabriela put you up to this? I've been so inspired lately by M. Antoinette. I recently found a beautiful vintage book from the early 1900s with fantastic pictures. I have a faux confection brewing and I'd love to share it with the party!

Hi! It's me again! I copied and posted your invitation on my blog but I'm not sure it works properly...

Than you so much for your comment . I did have my blog set to private without being aware, so thanks for the tip! I hope you can visit it now... I do want to your wonderful party - I'll be pleased to, actually! It'll be my first virtual party - I'm so excited!! And since with the babies being so small and all, I think that's as far out of the house as I'll get for a while, anyway .-)... So thanks for hosting such a fun party - I've already had a blast surfing the internet for info on Marie...

Oh! And I just realized that one of my profile photos is a cupid!... (I have 2 blogs and sometimes they get confused and post the wrong photo, so I'm not sure which one is u right now....

Till then!
