Marie Antoinette was born on November 2, 1755 in Vienna Austria.
To celebrate this event I have made necklaces and bracelets from old glass, pearls and crystal beads and chandelier crystals. I imagined that Marie would wear these at her little country cottage on the grounds of Versailles, where she was free from the constraints of the royal court.

I am losing my head over your beautiful creations!
Your jewelry is beautiful, I like how you just threw those together(is there anything you can't do??).
Her Cottage surrounded by lavender is possible the cutest cottage EVER!
Beautiful post!
That green necklace is so gorgeous!!!
Hi Linda! Beautiful jewels! I am sure that Marie would love all the sparkle!! Thanks for participating in the Soiree! ~ xoxo Joy
I never knew that--her cottage is far lovelier than the castle where she ended up--but I imagine that's a matter of taste.
These jeweled creations are so inspiring! When I was a child we had a huge crystal chandelier above the dining table. When my mother wasn't looking, my sister and I would climb up, remove the crystal drops and links and try on our "jewels." Thanks for the memory.
Happy Birthday, Marie!
I can't believe that you were featured in M.E. I have that very issue lovingly seated on the bookshelf.

You are such a multi-talented lady. Wowee! You need to be sending stuff in for publication so that more people can enjoy what you offer the world. I KNOW you can send stuff to Somerset (you'd be great in their Home magazine). I enjoy you more than Martha!
Marie would have been SO pleased with the beautiful crystals! Your necklace is wonderful!
Bisous,

I do believe that Marie would be requesting you to make her up some up those gorgeous necklaces. She was, afterall, quite the trend setter of her time.
Sweet post!
