French Lingerie

Looking at sleep wear now it looks like prison clothes.
I can remember when things were so elegant.
Hope it will come back.

In winter: t-shirt and flannel pajama bottoms. Men's pajamas. They're just much more comfortable.

I love those slippers, but I can just see myself tripping about the house in them. Rocky would die laughing. HA!; August 25, 2011 at 1:27 PM

Pat @ Mille Fiori Favoriti said...: Victoria Secret does a booming business for good reason, Yvonne. All ladies love pretty underthings :)

I see your sidebar perfectly! Everything is there. Do you think it's a problem with your computer that you can't see it? Do you have your browser window enlarged past 100%?

Hope the hurricane doesn't come your way this weekend!; August 25, 2011 at 9:28 PM

About Yvonne

Yvonne started painting and drawing in High School in Houston Texas. She earned extra money drawing insects in science class for classmates.

Yvonne's mother encouraged her to attend art classes at the Art Museum in Houston in the 1960's.

After her marriage she moved to Miami Beach, while living on Palm Island she continued her education in art, and Design. Also studied with notable artist from the area.

Yvonne was painted by friend Florence Taylor Kushner, from Boston and in women's Who's Who. Florence painted many famous families. Yvonne was lucky enough to receive private tutoring from her.

In the 1970's she went to Interior Design School .
Years later she started her own Interior Design firm named 'Chez Moi Interior's.

Yvonne continued painting and showing her work at Beau Arts in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. Also she exibhited her work in North Carolina, the Florida Keys, and at the Childers Art Gallery on Las Olas Blvd (Ft. Lauderdale).

Yvonne won the prestigious 'Hortt Art Competition Award' at the Museum of Ft.Lauderdale, Florida. This work of art remained on display for several months at the Museum. Over the years Yvonne has entered many competitions winning countless blue ribbons.

A trip to Paris, and a stay in Monmarte where she spent time with a few choice artist's changed her views toward her own art work.

Art is truly an expession of experience and love to her.

She likes her work to show a moment in time or tell a story.
