Our friendship began thanks to antiques
I think you would have guessed
It began thanks to
a papier mache jewells box with angels on it .
A story that begins with angels just can be a wonderful story of friendship , of sharing ...
Tonight , I will make my pink diner to celebrate a pink evening to see la vie en rose and even if I'm nervous . I know that with friends , even if it is a contest , you always win ...you touch the sky thanks to their smiles , to their laughes , to their "joie de vivre "
Tomorrow , pictures of pink details , my pink meal with some recipes ( may be ) , pink smiles , pink games, pink stars ....
Please readers and bloggers, I need help ....
I have to win a contest .... a pink contest ...a pink diner
In this spring time , pink is the color , it celebrates nature , renouveau ...
OK , here is my problem , I have to organize a pink diner , every ingredient or meal have to be pink . I hev a lot of ideas which I would say here as some of the participants of this pink party , read my blog and even are ...
So let's give me your ideas about some pink ingredients and will see .
The diner is on thursday's night , On friday I will share what I have done and photos of this pink diner.
Let's live la vie en rose for a little while
I have new treasures
a gilded neoclassic style chaise longue , I can imagine Madeleine Castaing laying down on it . If I keep it for my show room , I 'll change the fabric and I will think about what she would have choosen and may be will pick up one from her collection
Dufet's decoration book , limited edition , you should check my ebay
One of the picture inside , love the lace chairs and furniture
love this room , this book and decorator were so modern , this book was published in 1946
EXHIBITION :ROUTE DES METIERS D'ART
AS A "MAITRE ARTISAN D'ART " MY DAD WAS ASKED TO PRESENT ONE OF HIS REALISATION
HE DECIDED TO SHOW
A REGENCY CHAIR ( ca 1720) WITH A TRADITIONAL UPHOLSTERY WITH ONLY HORSE HAIR and FOR A PART HE PUTS A TRADITIONAL LEATHER BUT IN AN UNTRADITIONAL COLOR : PINK
I LOVE THE IDEA
Comme maitre artisan d'art dans la catégorie Tapissier en meubles , mon père doit exposer une de ses réalisations, il a choisi :
chaise régence d'époque ( ca 1720 )avec garniture piquée en plein , utilisation de crin uniquement avec un chiox traditionel re revêtement de cuir mais avec une couleur inhabituelle : rose
Cette chaise est visible , ce soir au sein de la maison Fouque , Aix en Provence
We are preparing a special exhibition : Artisans 13
For this exhition, Declercq lended me 3 wonderful tassels
I will show you at the end of the month the work we have done
cristal swarovski and fornasetti fabric
the ring , declercq tassel , I could wear it as a belt
coral declercq's tassel and fornasetti's fabric
everything is available in our show room
You know my love for family's story :
Declercq's passementeries is another one .
Their new trimmings are gorgeous just like the "old ones " .
I wanted to share them with you.
Not only that these little beauties are tassels but they are jewells , I almost can wear them.
margot tassel , silk
passion tassel made with wool and earthenware
fairies trims , it gives such a poetic ambiance to a room , don't you think ?
butterfly tassel(silk) ...as I am in a butterfly's mood , right now this one would be my favorite ...what about you ?
Declercq is a factory with an old story but with brand new ideas of decoration ...BRAVO
I can not stop to share more picture from their website
I love this room , makes me thing about voyages , ailleurs ....
As an antique dealer , I had to love this one
inspired by Carlo Bugatti work, the Bugatti Tassel , with a plain fabric , you use it and you have enough ...
I have to get out of their site ...I'm gettin addicted ( I already was ...all my curtains have declercq's passementeries on them
