I'm joining in on the auction being hosted by Laura Ingalls Gunn
who pens Decor to Adore
to help our sweet friend Valorie get her beloved Alberto home.
This lovely crown was handcrafted by the very talented and renowned chandelier designer Julie Neill and author of the Bayou Contessa. I brought this little crown home after a visit to New Orleans last year when I first met Julie (in the middle),
...and my sweet friend Marie, a native New Orleanian,
and Valorie at Perch. We became instant friends.
The opening bid on the crown is $35 and Moore Designs will ship to the highest bidder at no charge. Bidding will end midnight EST Monday. All monies will be donated to Valorie and Alberto's PayPal tango account. boutique@planet-tango.com
Be sure and visit Decor to Adore to see all items for auction!
Thank you all so much. ♥

ReplyDeleteRenae,
ReplyDeleteI cannot thank you enough for such a generous and beautiful donation. I do hope the perfect princess find this crown.
Be blessed.
Renae - me once again! I had to comment how much I adore Julie's work. What a thrill to have met her too! I took a peek @ her book & I remember Valorie (I think) posting about her chandeliers. What an amazing artist.
ReplyDeleteYou are amazing for donating this beautiful crown.
Have a beautiful Sunday my friend xo
Hi Renae,
ReplyDeleteYou are so sweet to do this for Valorie and Alberto. Having been through Katrina, I know the terrible feeling of longing to go home and not being able to. I wanted to let you know that I didn't actually make the crown you are auctioning although we do sell them in our shop.
In addition, I am hoping you will auction another item from my shop which we DO make ourselves. One of our newest designs, the Mint Julep Sconce, which I have emailed you a picture of. I hope this helps.
xoxo
Julie
Kathy! Yay...you won! I know this little crown will be a fabulous addition to your decor! Send me your address!
