{Paper Roses from France + Great News}

Already for quite a while now I did have these three paper roses from Janny, from the blog: Vintage Paper Roses ←(click it). She did ship them from France, as a gift! There was a good reason for not posting this sooner... Janny did mention to me that she would be published in an American magazine soon. Well, to be patient always pays off. Now I not only can let you know that this Dutch lady, living and creating the prettiest paper roses in France, will be featured in the next issue of Rozen van Papier. You can see this announced here as: Vintage Charm... on Janny's Dutch blog about her Paper Roses. 

BUT, the biggest news is... that Janny has become a first-time Grandmère to her daughter's baby-girl Lyla Rose. You can see her Dutch post about her granddaughter Lyla Rose being born already: Mijn kleindochter LYLA ROSE is al geboren!. Once more Janny; Congratulations with your grand-daughter Lyla Rose!

They look so real...

Both look lovely, the French Paper Roses and our new Moondance!

{World's Prettiest Roses by Janny}

Already twice before, I did do a post about the incredibly talented Janny who lives in France. Definately the World's Prettiest Roses by Janny. On August 31, while we were in The Netherlands, she was published in the renowned Dutch paper De Telegraaf. I've also made screen shots from the article in both English and Dutch and will post it here below. Janny van der Vliet's blog, Paper Roses Old Style you can find here. Don't forget to take her button with you and join her beautiful blog with Google Friend Connect. She did start her English blog, besides her French version. This is something not to be missed! Her roses are available for sale and if you see my post below about La Vie en Rose - MERCI Janny! you can see how gorgeous her roses are. Great for decorating, even for Christmas, as her last post is all about. She did a lovely paper roses wreath for Christmas. Read here: ROZEN VAN PAPIER. Congrats Janny!

{La Vie en Rose - MERCI Janny!}

Already on May 19, I did introduce you to this remarkable artist, as I posted this: LOOK who's in the French Style of May/June 2011. Janny van der Vliet is Dutch but she lives in France. I was so thrilled to find her in an early May, 2009 issue from the Dutch magazine Ariadne at Home. Pieter's niece and Goddaughter Myriam did bring the magazine when she came to the USA for his special birthday. Doing some searching I found Janny's French blog: Roses Pour Toujours and later the English version: Paper Roses Old Style.  Just click on all the hyperlinks to learn more about this incredible lady and her Paper Roses!

Well, she did mail me a white paper rose (my choice...) as a special gift and it arrived in The Netherlands at our dear friends' home early September. I must admit that she also is an experienced shipper, as the rose was in perfect shape; she knows how to prevent any shifting or crushing. So in case you too would love to purchase a rose or even several roses, just ask her and she will take care of it. Now let me take you to our balcony where the sun was out after several rainy days. Yesterday I was lucky to find perfect light for capturing this beautiful Paper Rose for you. Enjoy!

With Belle Inspiration, I do say Ooh-la-la when it comes to ROSES, PEARLS and more ROSES...

Some Gypsophylla or Baby's Breath in a French Gien Rose pitcher creates a lovely setting for this perfect paper rose from Janny!

On a tablecloth that I made out of a twin sheet from Le Jacquard Français bed linens with peach roses...

I will leave you now without any text... just enjoy this pretty rose.

She has a faint pink blush, from all her surroundings I guess, but it is a pure white one!

Besides, it is the FIRST Paper Rose from Janny that has made it into the New World; all the way across the Atlantic Ocean to the USA!!!

Pour moi au moins est certaine ROSES POUR TOUJOURS... et MERCI Janny!

For me certainly ROSES FOREVER...

{LOOK who's in the French Style of May/June 2011}

For quite a while I've wanted to introduce you to the romantic blog Roses Pour Toujours from Janny van der Vliet about her fabulous, like real paper roses! She has been perfecting her art over the past ten years, by studying and observing the real roses, especially the old roses. English and French bourbon roses are her favorites.

Since 2005 she's living in the south of France and that's when she started her workshops. Still she is giving workshops in The Netherlands, her native country. She just got back from a workshop in the town where my husband Pieter is born; in Groessen. The world is small isn't it?! Let me show you some of her creations right here below. It is part of the May/June issue of Belle Inspiration - French Style - Celebrating La Joie de Vivre.

Janny's roses in the Days of the Roses held every May in Avignon, France.

Isn't her work incredible?! And so real looking...
