To my many loyal readers I finally want to introduce some very special and rare French Country Style gems, that I have put on my Spectrenoir for sale. Hope you will like them and the images that I will post here are to explain in more detail the beauty of those pieces. First of all let me introduce this artist friend to you. She is a lady about my age, who lives just outside of Paris in France. Her name is Françoise Kiéné and she does sign all of her work with her initials FK in a very discrete way. You almost have to look for it with a magnifier!
But she does a quite remarkable job; judge for yourself!
Don't forget my GIVEAWAY that is coming soon...
This is a lovely, larger box made out of wood with boiled carton in a rich burgundy color. An exceptional old box and you can see it here at Spectrenoir.
Great French Country Style Gifts!

I'm always in awe of anyone who can paint plain items with such pretty designs and make them into something so beautiful. I have a friend here who can do the same, but she's chosen to do embroidery designs by machine because doing anything by hand takes so much time. It's really a shame as she is so talented. Hope your Saturday is a good one. Tammy
ReplyDeletePhooey! I left a comment but it's not showing up. Our internet is very slow at the moment.
ReplyDeleteSo here goes again...
ReplyDeleteThose are very pretty painted items. I'm always in awe of folks who are able to take plain pieces and make them beautiful with handpainted pictures. I have a friend here who is able to do the same but she's chosen instead to do embroidery designs by machine because it doesn't take as much time as the painting and handiwork she used to do. It's a shame because she is so talented and isn't using her gifts to the fullest. I wish I had even 1/10th of that kind of creativity. Hope you are having a good day. Tammy
hoi Mariette,
ReplyDeletehet duurde even voor het kwartje viel, maar mijn moeder heeft het 1 en ander uitgelegd, en nu doet de snapper het !
leuk om zo familie `tegen het lijf te lopen ´ haha !
leuke spulletjes heb je, qua smaak zit t duidelijk in de familie, mijn moeder vind zoiets ook heel leuk.
het is niet echt mijn ding, maar dat zal vast de generatiekloof zijn, lol !
No doubt:your friend is a true artist. Beautiful works,indeed.
