This is just beautiful!
As always, such wonder attention to detail making it a pleasure to view.
Wasn't it "fun" putting together all those 45 degree angled walls 
I know from experience that those can have you tearing your hair out but it was well worth the effort.
Congratulations!
You can never have too many Winterhalters 
) Thanks!!
Which brings us to Franz Xaver Winterhalter whose most famous paintings were of
the Empress Eugnie Surrounded by her Ladies in Waiting (1855 ),
and Elisabeth of Bavaria, Empress of Austria(Sissi) )
And yes, I'll use any excuse to display a Winterhalter painting!!
Thank you!!
I don't often venture so far into the future(ok I do have a soft spot for some of Josephine's items) but you just have to love how all those flowers were pieced together.
I also discovered Eugnie through this piece. A fascinating woman for certain, I'm eager to learn more about her.
Merci beaucoup, West. I know that it can be a bit tramatic looking into the future or was that back to the future. I'm so confused
Thanks Skye! You'll have to get Bedrich to buy you aLOT more jewellery so that you can fill a few of these
Thank you, Stormy. Yes, the creative muse made a visit and I'm hoping that she'll stay around for a bit
LOL - Now that the snow is melting in Provence Coeur I'm hoping that the next Coeur Fair will be in the spring. I'll keep you posted
