Today, I am linking to Anita's Blog,
Castles, Crowns and Cottages. She is hosting the Simply Irresistible Paris Party.
I had my dressform Vivienne model the necklace and shawl I have selected for the Paris party. Vivienne always wears everything so well. I must say I am a little jealous!
The necklace, a Sheila Foley original, was made for me by my sister in 2006. I was hosting a French themed afternoon tea and my sister thought this necklace might be a nice addition to my outfit.
She used a tugua nut to resemble the ivory used in scrimshaw pieces. The beads are white, clear and blue.
Here's the back of the tugua nut. This is what the front looked like before it was etched.
Here's the dress I've selected for the party. It's by Chanel. This neckline is perfect to showcase my necklace.
I am ready to step out into the night ...
and trip the light fantastic! (Photo credit- photomike07 at Flickeriver)
