Let's start with something sweet...
The Patisserie
The Patisserie
I took very little photographs....but I'm sure some of you ladies and gents will share right?please do
just to the left, nestled in the corner of the barn I created a tiny bistro area with water fountain bubbling and a few tables and chairs for a cup of cafe and a cupcake or macron...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
creating the "Patisserie Couture" gown that sat on top of the glass cabinet, was THE funnest project...and actually is what started the whole idea for the Patisserie....that and being inspired by Parisienne Farmgirl
it is a vintage wedding gown (for seriously a size -2) that I altered with the most delicious cupcake pink fabric and coffee filters
i skirted a little table for our wrapping area, complete with an Italian crystal candelabrathe giddiness was totally there
and all the work we put into it totally was worth it to see the smiles on the faces of everyone when they entered under the draped ceiling and lit chandelier hanging from the rafters....and it almost brought tears to my eyes to see two women enjoying my mini lemon bundt cake in the cafe with their coffees
i think the Patisserie was just as successful (if not more so) than the Elizabeth's I sold...as more pictures emerge totally tell me so I know okay?
Have a wonderful Monday......

Okay - here is something I love about you...
ReplyDeleteLook at the difference between our photographs..
Yours are pastel light, airy and feminine and mine are bold, vivid and sometimes gritty. You inspire me to be more feminine... I thought I was, til I met you! Then you just made me feel like a sailor! LOL!
Through different eyes, different lenses.
That Patisserie really was the coolest EVER. I am still riding on that...
Thank you so much for an incredible experience dear friend!
The Patisserie was, indeed, a lovely confection in itself! I smiled at P. Farmgirl's comments, because my pics are different, too! Come see! To me, the most beautiful part of the Patisserie was the warm welcome of the proprietress, writing up orders and chatting with the customers. {Not sure even a picture would have done her justice.} Still smiling about the 36 hours I was away, despite the catching up I had to do when I got back : ) Great pics, here!

Heidi and I loved our treats that came over to the show with Penny! Thanks for sharing.

I attended from Michigan and it was a lovely, lovely experience. The Patisserie was breathtaking. The sale was one I shall remember for a long time. Everything was displayed so well and the items for sale were unique, high quality and oh so tasteful.....please do again some day. Thank you for a lovely evening.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh...I just saw Traceys pics. too...are you going to do this next year....I wonder how long it would take us to get to you???? So beautiful Anne Marie...so beautiful!!!! xx0x0
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous spot you made!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous!!! Can't wait to see the rest.
ReplyDeleteDear Anne Marie,
ReplyDeleteWOW, It all looks amazing. You must have worked so hard....and, your homage to Dennis Severs is brilliant.
I have been over to Sanctuary Arts and left a message and I'm going to look at Tracey's now.
I can't wait to see more. XXXX
I have to agree with Ange, it's so cool to see everyone's style through their photography.
ReplyDeleteIt really was a breath-taking experience. I loved it and I'm so looking forward to the Fall show. When you are recovered from all this, you'll have to email me (when you have email again) or call me and tell me the details so I can start preparing for Fall. It would be an honor to be part of the show.
Just finished the last Morning Glory muffin (SO yummy!). Thank you!!!
Blessings... Polly

ReplyDeleteThe Patisserie was an absolute joy. I am hopelessly gone on all things sweet and all things Paris so the marriage of the two was heavenly.
ReplyDeleteMy eyes positively lit up when I saw the gorgeous display - and the coffee filter beauty perched on top was hilarious and beautiful at the same time.
You girls out-did yourselves.
Oh Anne Marie...thank you so much!! I am so happy you like the sunroom,I am thrilled with it..hope you are taking it easy after the crazy weekend you had! I wonder how long of a drive it is from here...are you doing again next year....would love to be able to come and meet you! Talk soon,x0
ReplyDeleteAnne Marie, though I know you more by jusy Anne being my sister and all. I am honored to be your sister. I am amazed by the pictures. I can only imagine what it was like in person. I still can't believe that's the same barn!
