Shabbydazzle Marie Antoinette creations

 My Love~

 color my heart with your art
paint for me a garden of gentility
soft and sweet tangled blooms
sing to me all the vibrant colors
I long to hear
heal me with your wild reds
release me to the purple moon
pluck the mushrooms under my toes
tuck me from the darkness in tender petals
sing me to sleep
in a bed of roses

Romantique Cherubin

 Under the same moon

you hold me in my dreams

how am i yours to keep?

tucking me under your wings

you carry me over the rivers
through the streams

hiding me in the cliffs
i wait ever so patiently

watching the Indians dance
slowly digging my toes in the sand

stirring the dirt
my heart whispers to you

can you hear

old love

how am i yours to keep?
shelter me in the soft moss

under the same moon

away for game
will you come back for me

my soul is weary

the rain is too heavy

wrap me in your wings

only for a moment

i am yours to keep

I have been blessed to be writing and crafting romantic treasures this week!

Hope you enjoyed your visit!

Marie Antoinette Perfume Bottle

I have been in the mood for French so I will share this poem with you...

Parlez-moi en silence

vous me voyez dans vos rêves

mais je me sens tout à fait

vous tous

ligoté et emmêlés

mains sur mon visage

danser sous mes os

soleil qui flotte à travers cette obscurité

je ferme les yeux à nouveau se sentir

Je prie pour que tu me quittes

mais je mens

Parce que je vous demande en

à chaque fois que

croupissent dans la lucidité

boueux sont ces eaux

je viens de regarder sur

ligoté et embrouillé en vous

étoiles de descendre dans mon

âme

brûler les vignes

les liens qui unissent

pas de mots

Venez à moi que vous êtes

m'embrasser

me ramener à la vie

combien de temps dois-je attendre

pour voir votre visage

vous me enveloppez-les dans vos bras

Olivia Parazine

 With much love for you all this week and prayers for it to be a blessed one!

Pops Homemade Tomato soup

My Pops has been coming up and cooking some super awesome homemade recipes!

Let me tell you he is a great chef!

YUMMY!

This is a huge blessing to me as I would rather be painting and decorating over cooking.

This weekend he taught me how to make home made tomato soup!

Pops Homemade tomato soup 

(Large recipe makes a giant pan as pictured above)

1/4 c diced onion 

3-4 cloves garlic

3 Tb flour dissolved in 1 cup of milk 

1/2 stick butter

1 lb can crushed tomatoes

1lb can diced tomatoes

1lb can tomato sauce

1 quart whole milk

1-2  tbl fresh chopped basil

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon pepper

1Tb Lousiana sauce

Directions:

 Saute onions and garlic in butter. Dissolve flour in 1 cup half & half, making sure to eliminate lumps.  Stir milk and flour in to butter and onions and make a rue. Add remaining ingredients and stir to a simmer. Cook on a low simmer for 15 minutes stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. 

Enjoy on a chilly day.

 Pop ist Single und auf der Suche, um ein interessantes und würzig Deutsch Dame zu treffen.
So deelish with a gourmet grill cheese!

Thank you for stopping by and enjoying a tasty treat with my Pop in the kitchen!

My Shabby Chic Pink Christmas Home Tour

 Hello Lovelies!

This week I am sharing my Shabby Chic Christmas Home!
This is actually a repost from last year as this year I have not had time to take new perfect pictures!

As you all know, I just adore Christmas!

This is my living room tree where I put up a vintage style white Christmas tree with pretty gold, pink and white ornaments!

 I love how this years tree turned out! 

I added a pink and white flocked poinsettia topper with the prettiest bridal lace and soft pink tails coming down the fronts and sides! 

In the center I gathered the tails and added more bows to give it that extra razzle dazzle!

I am also in heaven over the moon for my darling ruffled tree skirt, made by Rhoada's Ruffles on Etsy.

Click here for the link to her Etsy store, Rhoadasruffles!

Here is the closeup of my tree topper!!!

Lots of fluff, flowers and my sweet sparkling bird in her perch!

 I also Shabbydazzled up my mantle this year....

...and then hung the stockings by the chimney with care!

Of course I had to add some gorgeous trims and bows to my stockings!

For my dining room I used a pretty pink tree trimmed in the tulle from my bridal petticoat!

Ooohhh la la!

This is my Thanksgiving day table! I will have new pictures for Christmas dinner!

I host both Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners, so during the Holidays I have a house full!

~~giggles~~

In my cottage kitchen I used some Sugarplum colors!

This is a smaller Princess angel tree in my living room!

I am in love with cherubs this year!!!

A pretty vignette in my living room!

 ~~~Angel Kisses~~~

 Tussie Mussies and Lollipops!

 Wishing you a very Merry Pink Christmas!

I cannot tell you how blessed I am to be able to decorate and create beauty in my home!

My cup runs over with blessings!

Thank you for stopping by my Holiday Home Tour!

I will be posting more gorgeous Holiday Homes soon!

Stay tuned!

This week I am partying with 

My Romantic Home

and 

Pink Saturday!

Big squishy Hugs,
