Tomorrow I will spend the day
at the store...
at the store...
working in
Madame Fifi's boudoir.
Madame Fifi's boudoir.
So today...
I am putting the finishing touches
on some of the items
that I have made for this vignette.
Madame Yvette.
Madame Yvette has a rather illuminating personality!
And...she is not sure if she is going to like sharing the limelight with Madame Fifi.
so in order to maintain the peace...
Here she is making her debut...
without Madame Fifi!
(You see Fifi was quite the Femme fatale in her day)
Such Drama!
She was ready for her closeup...
This is her underside...quite chic in her houndstooth underthings!
Although I am wondering about her desire to show you this photo...
(I think maybe she once entertained at the Moulin Rouge)
Not like any Chappeau I have ever encountered...she is truly a one of a kind!
(And she is very much aware of it)
Just like all great Chandy's ...Absolutely must be the center of attention!
Handmade and sewn of vintage Noir Crushed Velvours and Satin.
Even her bow and rosette had former lifes.
So like the Fabulous French...Always reinventing themselves
Always so chic an En Vogue
I greatly appreciate each of you for indulging Yvette with this private showing.
Now maybe I can get back to the finishing touches I was speaking of earlier!
Just another day here in the studio.
Making things that take on a life of their own...
Wish me luck tomorrow as I share my day with two belles dames!
Au revoir...dear friends!
I simply do not know how you do it.
ReplyDeleteYou are a locomotive of pure energy barreling down the tracks of creativity! I'm reminded of Lee Ioccoca's motto: "Lead, Follow, or GET OUT OF THE WAY!" :)
Yvette is simply stunning!! Wow!! I can see her hanging in a dark, moody-toned jewel-box of a powder room...
Your hand work is nothing short of professional!! Kudos to you!
XOXO

Donna, Madame Yvette is a stunner to be sure!Too beautiful to be eclipsed by the notorious Madame Fifi, no? But I think she will hold her own, don't you?
