Thanks to Marie Antoinette of Dolls by Marie Antoinette for inviting me to the lovely birthday soiree given by Joy of Cupid's Charm. Joy has decided to honor Marie Anoinette, everyone's favorite French Queen on Sunday, November 2, 2008. If you are not familiar with Marie's and Joy's blogs, click the links above. You will be delighted. Both ladies have wonderful blogs; I promise you won't be diappointed.
I can't think of a better way to begin the Twelve Days of Christmas Shop Hop. Savon Marie is participating in this fun-filled shopping event sponsored by Make Mine Pink . Each day I will be adding new items or featuring customer favorites at special prices. It's easy and fun to participate just register at Make Mine Pink and visit each participating boutique.
Marie Antoinette certainly knew how to throw a party! As a close personal friend of the Queen, I am very honored to participate in yet another of her birthday celebrations. I just happen to have a photo of her birthday soiree a few years ago. Here I am sizing up her shoes when she nodded off after a sugar binge. She did promise them to me. Really, she did. But that's another story. Her shoes were too big for me anyway.I did make some lovely tarts for this year's soiree. I have three varieties.
The first is a delicately scented Rose Petal Tart. The second one is the ever popular Cherry Tart, and finally, in honor of Marie's Austrian heritage, a luscious Apricot Creme Tart. As you can see, I did get the shoes after all.
Unfortunately, I am not a baker. I am a soap maker, so please don't eat the tarts. Enjoy them in your bath, instead.

The picture you have of Marie is my ALL TIME FAVORITE picture of the movie. Doesn't it just make you want to be pampered next to a plate of sweets?

Marie, what a cute post. I enjoyed it. Those soaps are so pretty. Being an 'herby' type person, the rose petal tart would be my choice! You are such an artist with these soaps.
