{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...

    Ja leuk hé..ik heb zondag de workshop bij haar gevolgd,was super om te doen.

    Volgend jaar komt ze in Limburg, en ik denk dat ik dan weer ga...
    Ze is een goede lerares, geduldig, laat iedereen in zijn waarde. rustig en lief.
    Het was ontzettend leuk om te doen.
    Mijn creaties staan op mijn blog Schunsland, maar zijn bijlange na niet zo mooi als die van haar.
    Een vakvrouw, kan niet anders zeggen.

    Hello Mariette! I miss your visits to my blog, you always have such wonderful comments:) I've heeded your advice a lot lately and when I buy items that are truly vintage I leave them in their current state...it really does add warmth and beauty. If it's a gold plastic thing I bought at Big Lots then I go ahead and paint it but you really struck when I 'almost' painted some lovely frames! Thank you for that advice:)

    Anyway, those roses are gorgeous!

    Dear Mariette,

    What gorgeous roses and such a very talented Lady.
    They are so real and many thanks for telling us about her and the lovely roses she makes.
    It really is a small world isn't it.

    Have a happy weekend
    Hugs

    Mariette, these are gorgeous. It is hard to believe but I think Jenny's roses are more beautiful than real. It would be a dream come true to attend one of her workshops, especially in Paris. Let me dream don't wake me. Thanks for sharing. I won't be posting until after Saturday when my family returns to Nashville. In the meantime it will be checking in. Have a good weekend. Ginger
