Time to move on.....

I am so over it all. You have no idea. No one really does but me. That is why I am sooo over it

DONE.

ALONE. Finished. SO Over it.

This mama is all about her girls. Protecting them whatever way I need to do. No matter what!

Please, I warn you... do not get in my way. Warning enough has been said everywhere. That's it.

My phones are tapped into. How? ummmmm yea... I know someone whom could be doing this. Don't you? Mr. Hacker. I was on the computer & had to get off to make a call. Funny... the jerk already knew I would be trying to use my phone (since that was said online) so he cut it off. I had to use daughters cell. Don't ask about mine. Long story. but this jerk has a way to listen to everything we say & do. That's how I get those random posts/fake profiles going on my blogs & twitter right after we speak inside our private HOME! Its not so random. is it?!

Well... I am done with my home phone being shut off for hours. This has been happening a lot lately. The phone co. had to reset our phones AGAIN. Come on. Too random to be just me all the time. Computer programmers/gamers/geek hackers know what they can do & not be traced. this is not good. but there is ALWAYS a way AS*HOLE!

You made me crazy Geek boy... put that in court when I find your butt & nail YOU for all this. YOU will pay. Trust me!
& ANYONE around here that had to deal with YOU & your cry baby things right before you left... YOU all will go to court cause of HIM not me! I'm ready. Glad I have nothing to hide. You were all stupid to believe the wrong people. DUMB! I never mention a name. never. I never spoke to anyone. the person whom started this... Yea you know who you are, you ran to the WOLF ....when your little girl said something that wasn't true, well wasn't exactly how she said. & YOU never came to me to find out the facts! WAY to go. I'm am grateful however... You made them leave! YES JEALOUS is all I can say. HATERS!

So who left & ran to another state? Not me. not yet anyways... but I'm leaving to move forward & out of this bullshit! you will all still be in it. Talking about each other. Your families & friends. Sad. My life may be crappy right now but I'm not talking about my family & friends. I hear it all from a little girl. SAD! Pathetic. GROW UP!

Tied up Rhianna Style

I feel tied up, bound & prisoner in my own home... but not for long... I see the light. I have hope. Some people come into your life ~ sometimes just for a brief moment... but they do. They give you that hope. That little bit of something that you needed to say ~ What the hell have I been doing???" Where was I? what happened to me? where did I go?

Well, a lot has been happening here. Good & bad. I am tired & stressed and so over it all.

However... I got that bit of light shining on me. Gave me a feeling I haven't had in a while.

I'm not sure what happened. Where I went... but I have been gone for some time. I thought I was doing good, being a good mom & there for everyone but..... I wasn't doing my best. I forgot about me. That is not good.

Well... It is probably really bad right now; but not as bad as it has been. So much going on ~ online & in everyday... I am over it. Funny, most people dealing with what I am would not be able to handle this all. Trust me. That's how bad it has been... I can deal with it though. I have been through a lot.

That is fine with me. I learned a lot. I became stronger. I use it.

I miss my online friends. I am sorry for not getting back to you all.

I will. I Promise.

I can't say much online or even my phones, but... I will soon.

I think about you all so much. Wish I could take you all out for a long weekend & get to know you all. Who knows... maybe one day.

I know anything can happen. I believe I can do it too.

I just need to move on & start Living again. ummmm Living for Real.

Yes... those keepsake ballerina music boxes.... Lets make them Fabulous!!! I just read your letter sweet thing! Talk to you in the next few days. Huge hugs to you for still believing in me. I need that.

& Miss Shell I Love you girl. your the best! & Miss Candy & everyone... Thank you for being there. I Love you all. & Yes you people out there all over the world checking in on me... I thank you too. Seriously. Love you all! I enjoy seeing new countries coming to my blog. I am so thrilled. You keep me on my toes... I gotta get some good things to blog about on here for you all. Thank you! ; )

Love to you all.

Joelle XOXOXO

* I'm working on a whole bunch of things. Check back later. Hopefully a brand new fresh start.

THANK YOU everyone for stopping by. I appreciate it very much! Thanks (((HUGS)))

C'est la vie, J'essaie .....

This is How I feel right now. I am frazzled. Worn out and over tired. Bad neighbor, hacking & stalking. Out $400 to my web designer, no web page. No business cards. Have to find someone fast & start all over! Local store carrying my designs never gave me a penny. Ever. She sold something the first day she got my things. Never ever got back to me. She moved new location & didn't tell me. My family found out & didn't want to tell me. I had gone through enough. Now she is totally out of business & all my designs that were about $2,000.(Lamps, benches/stools, canvas paintings etc... Nothing! & once again... I felt bad & didn't bother her due to the fact that I owned a boutique & knew its not easy and my rent was over 2,000 a month Just for the store. I felt bad & figured she'll pay me when she can. No worries. Times are tough... been there. Im dealing w/ my own things. No hurry.

That's was a few yrs. ago. Now She is totally gone! No phone calls and emails??? Did she ever get mine? Did she even send any to me? Who knows. Im screwed big time from too many. I am over it. Never again. ohhhh I wonder who has my things? Do they know I made them. I created them. My heart & sould went into those pieces. I reached out & helped someone starting out. Again, takers... Who paid for the pieces??? & I never saw a dime? Is she ok with that? I have nothing. not one dime to my name. not anymore. NOT mine Joelle's. Thank You. I have 5 girls. One day, I could be homeless. Not good takers! not good for little girls whom could have had more. They had so much before we moved here. Private schools, country club for 15 yrs. I coached cheerleading, husband coached golf. they played tennis & golf. We had severla Au paires whom lived with us, that was fun learning from diff. countries. Lived in Golf community, had great friends. We moved, to start over after 9/11 & his business was suffering like everyone in that town, Move to better market,

be close to family. It will be warm & sunny & out of the snow belt. What the hell did I do? I miss everyone back home. I miss good people that cared about us. I moved them into this hell!

I moved next to horrible neighbors. Thank God for the wonderful boyfriends & good friends they have had. They make time fun & happy. However.......

I have not had a REAL job in 19 years. Not one day though have I sat & did nothing. Always too busy. Always volunteering & giving away,donating way too much, coaching cheerleading, reading & testing little kids at school. Always a big donation from me at the Heart Balls, I do not sit & eat bon bons. never watched soaps... I never watch tv.

You know what I do? I raise my children. help other children whose parents are too busy. I stay up late reading & planning online, creating and designing things to be so different to have others TAKE from me. Run with my ideas, style and even same words. TAKE TAKE TAKE.

Do you not feel dirty & lazy?

My girls & all their activities. My husband & his own business & the drama with that & us???? :(

MY online business & links are all messed up due to this real A HOLE of a sissy boy loser geek stalker! My computer is on, then blocks me from online access. Phones get shut off for a few hours too. I get creepy twitter messages... "do you use Google voice?" can you hear me? I can hear you. GPS? ummm just really strange computer terms that he knows I will look up to bother me. & make me crazy. Well, have fun sissy boy behind your big screen. It won't last long. You'll slip. They always do.I am glad I filed a police report the day someone left on my birthday!The Police recommended I do that to protect myself. Go ahead with your "defimantion rambel" DO you Mrs. Smarty pants know what that means? Making up lies to ruin ones reputation. Listen MR. Lady, Im speaking straight up truth! & not even all of it. Im being too kind. YOu have no clue what all that sick shyte head has done. or maybe you do! WHY else would you pick up & move fast cause of little ol' me saying something bad about him? come on. I didn't say anything then. Guess what dummy??!!! I had every right to, so now what? Grown men aren't suppose to act like your mrs. husband. ewwwww it is all wrong.

I do not care if you watch me. Have fun. Whatever! However.. IF I find out more. You have anything to do with my family. My girls. Anything. I will throw out everything I have. Give every thing away & I will make sure Your life is a living hell. I will make sure you pay. dearly! Trust me. My girls are my everything & if YOU sick creeper loser have pictures, videos or link you to GPS (hmmmmmm isn't that your families business ~ motorola gps bla bla bla????) YOU know they keep records of transactions of everything YOU bought online right? ALL those cool James Bond type gadget stores you talked about LOSER! I will find out. YOU will pay. YOU will never have a job! You will be put away!!!You will NEVER play your cyber games again. EVER. I know someone whom could be doing all this. I have many reasons to think it is him. Who else? & why? There are a lot of reasons & evidence to his behaviors. His own stupid actions & comments. Stupid!

I am sooooo over it. This has been going on for 2 yrs. & only getting worse.

It is like a game coming online. Not fun. Annoying. Always something pops up or I find new files/ folders with nothing in them any more and no network icon( I can not get that Network out of my computer. I do not want to "network"/share from my computer! Its a daily struggle to click "discovery & file share" things... no sound icon anymore.black screens. remote this & that? double icons on my toolbar, ohh just a bunch of things & if your on your computer as much as me, you know it. You know when things change, now I find a lot. I know its not right. I do not have authority over a bunch of stuff. I share with NO ONE yet I do???Yep cleaned computers, rebooted, took in twice. Paid for firewalls & all that. New computer. However, all of our computers are messed up!??? grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Sorry, I just had to get it out. I'm done.

I am dealing with so much all at once, You have to wonder ~ WHY? Why me? Really, what is the test? Have I passed? Can it be over all ready? Please. I have things to do. Really. A lot. A lot of things on hold, just waiting to be finished. I am so excited to move forward but there seems to be so much holding me back at the very last minute. Always. I am really done with it all. I am ready to move forward. I have to. You have no idea how bad I MUST move forward. Now is my time. I can not wait until something worse might happen. So Please anyone reading this.. Please send me your positive energy, good wishes, happy thoughts... whatever... just send me something good. So I can focus on the good things. All the pretty details. Designs & style... That's All I need to focus on & of course my beautiful girls They need their mommy happy & motivated.

Ok.....This is just one bad book that needs to be closed. Thank You.

I think I got it out. I had to. No one here listens or cares & really, just done with it all too.

it just got bad this week with more online crap & blocking me from going ONLINE & then my sites. Just a bunch all at once.

It is time to move forward. I was sooo excited about the opening of Dimples & Dandelions and creating some wonderful designs for her.

She is everything I am looking for. Simply Charming. Perfect mix. Absolute precious mom & baby boutique. WHY these things had to get in the way??? I do not know. I do know... I must move forward and make things happen. I need to. I have to. This is all I know.I gave up some fabulous opportunities to do business with one of the best in the business out west. Retail & Entertainment. She begged me. Offered to pay for me to come out there with my girls. I gave up alot.Now what?

I am scared to death to think what I would have to do if anything else could happen. SO Time to move forward.

No more drama. No more negative crap. I must Run the other way. I might be running in circles, but I'll just have to JUMP out. Look for something to hold on to and run with it.

So it is now time once again to put on my thinking cap, really think up some sweet & charming designs. Create and move forward so I can bring forth more treasures & keep growing, learning & making something happen with all this.
Baby, Child and everyone whom appreciates pretty things. As my girls grow, so do I. I hope you will all be proud of me as I am with my girls.
Sweet Dreams ~ Joelle XOXO

Patrick Swayze 1952-2009 RIP

Patrick & Lisa: A Love Story

Soul mates and life partners,

Swayze and his wife were each other's pillars of strength during 34 years of marriage.


Patrick & Lisa: A Love Story

Soul mates and life partners,

Swayze and his wife were each other's pillars of strength during 34 years of marriage.

SIDE BY SIDE
All throughout Patrick Swayze's battle with pancreatic cancer, his wife of 34 years, Lisa Niemi (with him at a L.A. Lakers-San Antonio Spurs game in May 2008), was by his side to help him soldier on. From helping him keep track of his medication to flying him to chemo treatments (she's a registered pilot), the dancer-actress was his rock. "He looks into her eyes and he sees nothing except, 'Everything is going to be okay,'" Patrick's brother Don told PEOPLE in 2008. "No matter what he's going through, it's okay. She's just there."

SWEET BEGINNING
Patrick was 19 and Lisa was 15 when they met at his choreographer mother Patsy's ballet school in Houston. Immediately, he sensed something different about her. "I knew she was the smartest chick I'd ever met in my life," he told PEOPLE in 2007. Before Lisa, "I had been meeting girls with names like Mimi and Angel. And for a long time I didn't feel like I deserved her." Lisa wore a handmade dress to their June 12, 1975 nuptials held in the backyard of her Houston home, and their reception was held at Patrick's family dance studio.
SHE'S LIKE THE WIND
His love for Lisa inspired Patrick – together at the premiere party for Dirty Dancing in 1987 – to pen the hit ballad "She's Like the Wind" for the blockbuster movie's soundtrack. Writing that song, "I just felt at that time that I'm very, very lucky to have a woman who thinks I hung the moon," he told PEOPLE in 2007. And though they didn't appear together onscreen, Patrick practiced all his dance routines for the movie with his wife.

ON THE MOVE
"Like any great marriage, they seem to move together as one person," Kelly Lynch, Swazye's costar in 1989's Road House, told PEOPLE about Lisa and Patrick (at the 1979 premiere of his film Skatetown USA). "They're like a single organism. She is a strong, strong woman – very funny, very kind, very smart. They love each other and it's apparent. The partnership is for life."

IN SYNC
At the World Music Awards in Monte Carlo in 1994, the pair showed off their onstage chemistry when they took to the stage for a romantic dance set to an instrumental version of Whitney Houston's "All the Man That I Need." According to the 2009 biography Patrick Swayze: One Last Dance, Patrick gushed afterwards, "It was a very special experience for me for the world to see what an absolutely beautiful miracle angel she is."

BREAK OF 'DAWN'
The pair had the opportunity to costar in several projects, including 1987's action film Steel Dawn. And Patrick was one of Lisa's biggest fans. When she joined the cast of the Broadway musical The Will Rogers Follies in May 1993, he was there to cheer her on – even surprising her onstage with a cake on opening night, which happened to be her 37th birthday.

AND ACTION!
A constant visitor to the set of The Beast, Lisa also directed Patrick in the April 9, 2009 episode of the A&E show. "He was fantastic. He had challenges because he was still doing chemo and it wasn't always easy, but he'd suit up and show up. He was always there," she told PEOPLE that month. "He treated me like he was honored to show up on my set." And it wasn't the first time she'd directed him: She helmed the 1995 drama One Last Dance, in which they costarred.

KISS TO REMEMBER
Besides her beauty, what drew Patrick to Lisa (in 1979) was her sense of honesty. "She was different than anyone I'd known. Like a flower. If I started my macho stuff, she'd cut me off fast," Patrick told PEOPLE in 1984. "I'd be dead without her. She helped me break my self-destructive tendencies. I was an insecure little baby. I don't ever see us apart. She's my creative partner."
LIFE PARTNERS
"We've always been a team. We raise horses together, run a music business and a wildlife preserve together," Patrick once said of Lisa (on vacation in Rome in 2005). "We have an unspoken language after all these years." Though the couple had hoped to have children after suffering a miscarriage on Valentine's Day in 1990, it wasn't to be. "We just missed our window; we got so focused on our world and our careers that we missed the boat," he told PEOPLE in 2007.
'EXTRAORDINARY' PAIR
"The way he looked at her, the way he held on to her, the way she smiled, I can't really imagine one without the other," Barbara Walters said about spending time with the couple in December 2008 on their California ranch for the TV special Patrick Swayze: The Truth. "That marriage is extraordinary."
A SPECIAL CONNECTION
Together through the ups and downs of fame and personal struggles, Patrick and Lisa's marriage was the real thing. "A relationship survives because of keeping the friendship alive and learning how to fall in love over and over again and never taking the other person for granted and seeing things in a new light with new eyes," Patrick said in 2007. "We're big believers in, arguments are okay as long as it's not about your ego, but it's about a mutual goal – trying to create something special."

*Patrick wrote this song for the Sound track to Dirty Dancing. He wrote this song for Lisa. These are his words & how he felt about his special angel. The Love of his life that was by his his side for 34 years. his Bset Friend. His soul mate.

They represented what a real truly beautiful marriage is suppose to be about.

They were what most people only wish & pray to be like. Best Friends, Two people truly in love. Forever.

I envy that marriage, commitment and True meaning of Love. That unconditional Love.

This song breaks my heart and at the same time so deeply touches my soul... So beautiful and passionate yet something many of us will never have. My grandparents & great Grandparents all had that kind of love. Wonderful & beautiful marriage. True happiness.

I hold on to hope. I am an old fashion Romantic at heart. I wish one day to be able to have that love & feel that close. I want to be best friends. To die knowing I was loved.

Truly, Deeply in Love

Rip Patrick Swayze. We will miss you. You were one truly amazing man.

Thank You to People magazine for the article. I had to share it.

This means a lot to me. To everyone.

You never heard anyone say anything negative about him.

He is a TRUE passionate man.

Passionate about life. Dancing, acting, art, music, horses, animals.

Passionate about his wife. His angel on Earth. His best friend & soul mate. Forever.

Stylish Maternity Clothes

These are all lovely maternity clothes by Gatie. I love them all. So classy, stylish and not at all screaming "maternity". I Loved being pregnant and loved looking pregnant. I did not want to hide it. However, I did not ever want to wear those "baby on board" tacky maternity clothes. Yuck!

Please share them with me & I'll post all the fabulous finds to make it a bit easier for some. I'll try to anyways.

I Love this style. I would buy this look when not pregnant.

Just because you become pregnant does not mean you have to change the way you look.

Do not settle. I know it is not easy finding fabulous maternity clothes everywhere.

Now however... You can go online and find what you are looking for.

I wonder if there is a maternity designer that designs for more Hip, Rock, Punk, trendy types.

Im curious. Let me know if you do know of anyone.

I have alot of artsy friends that would love a more Hip & fun style than what I would wear.

I love it too. I like variety. I love being original. Just love Real People too & all the diff. styles out there.

I might like more classy, sexy, sophisticated styles, but that does not mean I do not Love seeing my friends wearing their crazy fun one of a kind finds! I Love it.

who wants to look the same?

If you have a Favorite Maternity designer that you wore or one you absolutely love and only wished you could have worn, Please let me know. Leave a comment.

Also... do you know of any New Fresh, up & coming Maternity designer from Etsy or even local that fits in with Joelle Dolce Bebe Style blog... Please let me know. I would love to help spread the word too.

I know not everyone can afford or does not want to spend alot of money on clothing they will not wear long. So if you know of any places to buy styles like these without a high Price tag, Please let me know.

Susan Tuttle * Etsy Shop*flutesusan25

*My email & blog have been out of commission. I have been blocked from my own blog??? & other things have been strange online??? However, I have not stopped creating. Im excited for new things to come! I Promise I will get to you all very soon. Girls all just went back to school.

I am thinking about you! : ) XOXO

My Mind in Boho or Limbo...

As I try to get caught up with my online projects & deal with computer problems, I came across this necklace below designed by Kecia Frazee Deveney. Kecia is one of my many talented friends that inspire, share & create fabulous works of art from found objects & recycled materials. Among many other things she creates with her creative mind. I have so many things to do and I'm working on some new creations for a few wonderful people. I have no time really right now to do all that I want. However, I did want to share these photo's with you and hope you can stop by her blog & online shops. It is important to support others in this creative world. It means a lot to us that you enjoy our work & buy from us before you buy from mass produced factories. I needed to do this now before I get too busy again & forget about it all.

**UPDATE**(HELLO!!! I DID forget about it! OH MY!!! I found it as a "DRAFT" shame on me!!! I thought I finished it, but I guess I didn't. Must have been the LINKS I needed to get... My head hurts. A headache that will not go. I have too much drama in my life! Please go away! I Love my girls more than anything in the World. however.... It is NOT easy! With raising girls comes DRAMA, regardless what you do, how you raise them... The world is full of it! I end up taking it all in, I hurt when they hurt, I stress when they stress, I take it all on times 5! That is a lot. Please forgive me. I am getting there. Just a lot on my plate & 8 more plates at that!(2 dogs & the MR!)

This piece is of course is one of a kind. Made from found objects & vintage bits. A real statement piece. A fabulous design fit for her Texas friends. I too had some of my Cowgirl friends in mind when I first saw this. She doesn't have it for sale online, however if anyone was interested She would be thrilled to sell it to you. Until then... it is going to the Country Living Fair with her. I know it won't last long. Its too fun!

This piece is so unique too. I Loved the way she photographed them. I love the colors. This is not something you find everyday. This is something that came somewhere deep in her creative mind. You do not find that at Target or ever day malls.... This is from someone whom gives up a lot do what comes from her heart & her mind. You really can't put a price on that.



"The Lost Purse" ~ This is from her
"Lemon Choly's Studio" * In her own words:

This is a very old metal, mesh purse from the Victorian era. They were also called "doll purses". I bought it from a woman in Pennsylvania who told me it belonged to her great grandma. The history behind these old metal heirlooms fascinate me. I thought it would look lovely as necklace and I was right. The purse is wire wrapped onto various chain, pearls and beads deconstructed from vintage necklaces. A few modern chain links bring the whole piece together. Inside the purse are a few hidden items. I added a bezel to the front of the purse that says "heart and soul" - old text from a vintage book. I even wrote a little fictional story about the purse. You can read about it here.

From the clasp to the very bottom of the purse, measures 15". Your doll purse will be carefully wrapped and sent out by first class mail with insurance.

style tip: funk your necklace up even more by pairing it with other necklaces (shorter or longer). it'll give you that gypsy flair!

*i can change all the lengths of any of my necklaces - so if you want something longer or shorter, just let me know upon check out! $235.00

My mind is never stopping, it is just tired and over used right now. A lot going on. I am getting there. Soon. I do see light! ; ) XOXO

Handsome Garrett & Posh Mariah....

I found yet another Haute Picture of the Gorgeous Man in my dreams Garrett Neff. Its only a dream... My Haute Couture Dreams & I am only kidding. However, as I was going through some things & came across this picture. WOW. Made me think of school & how fast summer has gone & so much school shopping to do. Yes... This is how my mind works. Not all of you reading this might of first thought "school shopping" while looking at this, but then again, your reading my blog ~ You just may well have thought that too.

Ok... while I am at it, here is one more stunning picture of this gorgeous dapper guy, ohhhh I so had to use that word dapper. How often do you use that one? Not often if ever. So tonight was my time.

Well since I am dreaming a bit and wishing for some yummy things... Why not share this with you all too while I am at it. This is what I WISH and DREAM of. I want Mariah Carey's Shoe closet. THIS is my style. This is what I wish for. One of my many WISHES but How fabulously Posh is it? WHITE, Gold, Fresh, crisp, clean & Posh! So me. I WISH my whole house was like this. Maybe If I keep saying it & dreaming of it... one day It may come true??? : ) This is an Old picture but It is always Fresh in my mind.

In the middle of all this dreaming and creating and being asked so many different questions regarding decorating & style & everything Baby & child... This is crazy but I think I need to have 3 blogs. Maybe I will be able to focus actually. I like order and I am so out of order it is driving me crazy. This blog is Fashion INSPIRED & ideas.

I really need one to be Focused on BABY & CHILD & all MY designs & all the designs of My Fabulous finds of baby & child from other creative designers. Then maybe a 3rd blog to throw in my projects & in the works & a bit of crazy place to throw ideas & links when I'm asked questions about decorating & such. Point them there instead of crazy emails & finding pics. & wondering where to send them. Ohhhhhhhhhh MY MIND is full of ideas. Wish I had help. Sounds like a lot, but maybe it would be easier to focus & clean things up a bit? I don't know... ideas come & go. we'll see. Let me know your thoughts or if you have more than on blog is it too much? It is late AGAIN.... & I'm just letting the ideas out.

Ohhh I had to add this pic. too of Mariah's home. THOSE curtains minus the swag... I was going to use those in one of my daughters room. Pink & white striped silk. I LOVE them.I wanted them to puddle on the floor & use as accent to POP with the stripes,& use a sheer organza or chiffon type material behind & sew something fun; & then minty sage blend... kinda walls??? & black accents, oh of course gold too. Have to add the BLACK to get away with my Posh when you have TEENS.
I have been looking at these curtains in diff. colors for years for myself. You all probably know of them too. I'm getting some for my living room & trying to figure out color. Champagne, gold, coco or ..... not sure, but I am doing something soon. For me. I am also doing a bedroom makeover & of course I will be getting similar Silk curtains too. Yummy ideas. French, sexy, Posh, glamorous & Italian??? There I go again.... dreaming away. Time to go to bed.



These are two samples I have had for awhile. The colors could go in my living room or my bedroom. Either color & style would work.One day I will get there. Soon.
I tend to go for these colors in anything I do. I am classic.Traditional. Classy. French & Italian. Complicated. My style & Myself. So funny & so true. But I like it that way! ~ Ciao! XOXO

Well you fabulous, creative & stylish friends... I'm painting, dreaming & designing away for a few people and hopefully soon get JOELLE DOLCE BEBE STYLE moving forward so I can get my own Posh things with My own money!!$$$ SO I am off to work. Needed a little bit of a break and let you know... I am working on things for some Fabulous People. Dream away & Be Inspired. ~ Joelle XOXO
Soon. Real Soon.

The Bella Cottage Charm...

I am taking a quick break from painting some wonderful shabby chic inspired frames. I had someone ask me on Twitter "what do you mean by chippy frames". Well my friends, to me chippy frames are usually frames made with old salvaged wood, or possibly older frames repainted or like in my situation with the frames I was painting today.... They are more smooth & slightly distressed frames. Not Chippy paint peeling all over. Though I have done that, with salvaged wood, had some really chippy paint & had some not so chippy but "weathered". My frames have more layers of paint & distressed a bit. Like in the pictures.
If you do sell frames you MUST comply with the safety codes and do tests to make sure there is not any lead in the paint/wood. SAFETY First. I have been dealing with child products for so long that I have always made sure I followed current laws/codes due to the strict regulations. Long before any of this China & Testing controversy started.

Also, The picture above of the sweet pale green box is more along the lines of my "shabby chic" distressed/chippy type frames.My frames I painted today are not chippy. They are new frames made to look slightly older. Layers of paint. My custom colors I Love to create. Blush, ice sage, snow & little blue. I have some more colors I was going to do but I will finish these of course with my little bouquets of charm in the corners. I have some of my birdies w/ crowns or Party hats that might get tucked in the bouquets. I really hope NOT to see anyone taking my ideas and doing this too. I stay up way too late to try to do what no one else is doing. I am not flattered. I work hard. I have 5 girls to raise. Anyone stealing from me is stealing from my children. That is not good. Sorry but I have had to deal with this & I work too hard to offer something original.To see someone else going to town selling like crazy all over with MY ideas & those in our networks. They run with every NEW creative idea. I know, it has been going on forever, does not mean I like it & will not speak up. USE your MIND. Be Original. It is a good thing.

Gosh, I could not find the file with my frames in it with better lighting so, here's a little Bouquet if you have never seen how I embellish my pieces. Everything, well a lot I design I adorn with little bouquets of flowers, pearls, vintage rhinestones, semi precious gems, vintage jewelry, crystals & or whatever else I find that looks perfect in the bouquets.

Anyways, these frames are such sweet little pieces to add some color & charm to your rooms. Also lovely with black & white photo's, favorite pictures or sweet poems, written words or even a mirror inside from your local craft shops. ON a wall, dresser, end table, shelves, bathrooms, ohhh ideas are endless. hung by big ribbon on corner of bed! There's an idea. I see it. Ohhh more & more ideas come the later it gets. Too funny. I'M tired but I'm ready to go!

This pink frame The Bella Cottage has on this table below is the same color as my pink "blush" frame I just painted.Also it has about the same "distressed" look as well.

If you still wonder what "chippy" is... the door behind is a bit chippy. Not pealing chippy but a bit more. Actually this door reminds me of a time I had on tall boots with heels, long leather jacket & I was behind my little boutique in the DUMPSTER getting the fabulous chippy door someone through out. I didn't care what anyone thought. I was getting that door! I got it! I used it as a display in my shop. Thanks to my Fabulous friend Shane Ross of Maggie's baby & child furniture & gifts in Austin Texas. My Muse, My long lost missed friend. My other soul mate :( Where are you Shane?

Ok... I need to finish up some things. Its late but I am so inspired. Thank You "The Bella Cottage" fabulous friends. You have inspired me once again. Bonne Nuit, Joelle XOXO

Happy Day!....

My beautiful sweet baby girl! I love her more than anything in the world!

We had a neighborhood picnic. This little jumpy thing ~ her "jumpy jumpy" was out front in our cul-de-sac. She had the best time ever!!! The sweetest little children and really nice neighbors.

It is really nice when you make the time to have a break with your neighbors and let the children play. We all get so busy and days go by with just a wave or smile and when you have those in your neighborhood to stop and make the time to do this... It is a very grateful thing to do. If anything... wonderful for the children. We had fun. I'm lucky to have some really sweet neighbors.
This is my baby & one of her sisters kissing her. I am so lucky to have beautiful & loving girls!

She had a blast and and could keep on going until the last person dropped. She is one very busy bee that seems to Never tire! She is a very smart little girl for her age and full of energy like you wouldn't believe. She learns so much by watching her big sisters. She is the baby & we all spoil her. Yes, I have my hands full. I LOVE HER!
I hope you all get to enjoy your summer. Wish you all a happy day!

The French Cherub...

This is another little sweet cherub hook I designed. Simply Sweet, elegant & definitely Joelle Dolce Bebe Style.

I need to get a better picture & close up but ran out of time & light. Also quickly added the crystal chain & need to finish that. Not sure if I like the crystal chain or should it be silk ribbon? Just another busy day at the DeNardo's.

I hope you all have a Wonderful weekend.

kisses ~

Joelle XOXO

Yeaa... I'm On Lollishops front Page. I hope you can come to my little Lollishop and see what I have. I had no clue I would be featured... I must get busy and get some designs finished.

ohhhh summers get so busy, I wish I had more time or didn't require sleep. I would keep working until I got it all finished. It is a little late telling you all but it was hectic here today! So much going on.

Have a wonderful week!

La Bonne Vie...

La Bonne Vie.....

The Good Life.... Enjoying Life to the fullest. Loving everyday. Your day. Any day. Just living and loving it. Appreciating everything around you. Never taking anything for granted. Appreciating it all. The good the bad & the indifferent. For everything that it brings to you. For what you learn from life and what you do with it.
**** Remember to click on pictures to see if they have a larger view. I know many didn't even know you could do that. I click on many pictures. Sometimes they lead you to more goodies... Teaching our children, the little ones around you. Family & friends.... teaching them to appreciate what they have, strive to gain even more of what you love, to never settle. Go after, get what you want and know that you can do it.

By never settling, means to never give up on what you want out of life. Possessions, memories, world travels, cultures, education, words, thoughts, smells and visions.

All good things that are what makes you who you are. Not what others define you as, but what is in your destiny, your path on this journey called life.

All the things that make your heart smile. Just make you tick & feel alive.

La Bonne Vie ~

In my creative journey, I am at the point in my life that I surround myself with my family. I have 5 little girls. They are my biggest inspiration.

Therefore.... I am creating baby & child designs. They are my inspiration and I love being able to dream of Fairy Tales. Little ones should be surrounded by sweet creative designs to let their imaginations sore and drift off to magical dream of sugar plum fairies and magical wonderment.

As my girls grow I suppose my designs will grow with them. I already have some more Vogue inspired art for teens in the works inspired from my fashion conscious fashinista's!

I suppose I should not call my oldest a little girl anymore. Yet she is my first born and will always be my baby.

Now how many get choked up, cry or lose train of thought when saying, muttering, whispering those words? Wow. I never thought it would come this soon. I am so very proud of her I can not even explain right now. I do not have the words that are good enough to explain what she means to me and who she really is. I'm stumbling right now as I try to type it.

I shall move on and regroup and try a bit later on... at what I will attempt to say to you my friends out there in blog land.

This little introduction into my little French Circus fairy design took a turn. La Bonne Vie ~ The Good Life. It made me think of all the things I love. Which made me start to ramble on about my children. That is ok... because they are what, who inspire me to create what I do.

It is a never ending journey for me. I love being able to be home with them and create as I am able to find time to do. I am very fortunate to have been able to do this for almost 19 years.

A lot has happened in those years. I can not look back and get upset and wonder how I could have changed things. Why did I let opportunities slip past me. What I can do & what I should do is be glad I have my children and that they are healthy, happy & safe.

I must move forward. For me and for my girls. I truly love them and they are the reasons I continue to move forward with what I believe in. I need to show them I never gave up.

Thank you sweet wonderful people for taking the time to read this. Thank you for leaving comments, emails for those of you not liking to be public (and that is ok with me) and thank you to those I may never know you even dropped by or followed me all along. Thank You.

I'm honored to have anyone take notice, mostly the ones I have never met. Thank you.

This is a picture of my first born and my youngest baby. I Love them so much.
They continuously take pictures of each other, and of themselves!!!! They now have the baby trying to take her own Always! She even gets the apple and she will try to do her own little show. I am not ready for this. If this is my last baby... I want to enjoy her being a baby and not learning so much! I am so not ready for this.

This picture here below is soooo wonderful you have no idea....
She is sitting on her princess little chair/fold out nap thingy...NAP? did I just say that???? We don't do naps in this family gosh DARN it! Lucky me to have hyper busy creative children like me! : O
anyways....Our sweet neighbors who have a little girl. Their only child. ~ (So they spoil her and my baby LOVES that!!) My baby absolutely adores her.... well they gave her this princess chair. and ALL her DORA Dora things she gets tired of. WOW!!! She makes my baby the happiest girl in the world!
She takes her special chair where ever I am. She has her little trays in diff. rooms to be able to do "HER CRAFT" right next to me.

Also...I am a "Nestor" I like people to be comfy. Of course I make sure my girls are happy & comfy but I even have a problem with making sure all their friends have enough pillows, blankets etc... I get annoying I'm sure. BUT never with my baby.
In this picture you can see She has TWO pillows on her already comfy chair. All set up right next to me. Even in the wee hours... She is just like me. I love my girls so much! WOW I am so lucky! anyways.... this picture of her in her little chair is my life right now. BABY always by my side....
Ohhh the wonderful things I find on the computer. I Love it. Not sure If I can get away with some pictures I would Love to put on. Some things are just sooo cute, they just aren't into mom doing it! ; )
This is my second baby girl! Love her. Biggest heart & sweetest thing ever. The two of them are inseparable... they do everything together.

Like now... they are at yet another concert....together. Poor boyfriends. you get both! haha maybe that's why they all like them. It like being the Kardashians... A crazy life! Loud & busy! ~ that's a whole other story. Oh my, you have no idea!!! (I have two more girls... you'll see later)
Ohhh by the way.... even though my daughter is going to be going to college... I am still young!!! & don't forget that! ; )

Bonne Nuit ~

Joelle XOXOXO

* I know I said I will try to not write so much and bore you, but I did try and it is late and I'M too tired to edit and tidy it up a bit. I'll get there. right now... I have a lot to say and I'm trying to get out a bunch here & there and then MOVE ON.... promise XOXO

* I know this post has same pictures in it... but I was going to post this on my other blog I'm messing around with and decided to post it here too! : )

A French Shabby Chic Circus...

Here is a little French Keepsake box with a sweet French Circus Fairy standing upon her whimsical party stage. Complete with vintage mica, 3 shabby balloons, old wire wings with a touch of mica for sparkle, a few painted & waxed flowers, tiny rhinestone, glass glitter, pink crepe paper, ric-rac, hand torn aged paper banner that reads " La Bonne Vie" ~ The Good Life.

All with the right touch of Old World Charm to bring your Precious one. A piece to dream up a story where this might have come from. A long ago ~ Once Upon A Time....special boutique where the royal families shop exclusively from ~ to bring treasures to their loved ones from far away places.
Now I'm not saying this is a "royal" piece with expensive materials... it is just back in those days... Only the privileged afforded such unique pieces that no one else could afford or find.These such pieces find there way to the flea markets and Estate sales all threw Europe. Carelessly found tucked away in attics with no one really knowing of the worth & stories that went with these forgotten pieces. Your a lucky one if you can get your hands on such treasures to bring back for all the stories to pass down.




At the bottom of the box is glass glitter with sparkle mixture ~ as to not come off on little hands. However, there is a bit of magic sparkling at the base to make it really special & unique. but not messy.
Right now I'm just playing around & putting it on my blog so I can see what it looks like. Not sure if I should add any thing else to it. I need to get another picture of the bottom so you can see what I mean about the glass glitter sugary detail. Just different. I Like to be different.

Imagination is such a wonderful thing. The stories to be told, the ideas to create.

Being a little one is such a wonderful time. It is also so wonderful to help create these little stories in children's imaginations & let their precious minds dream away to the land of wonderment and sugar kissed Fairy Tales.

This picture looks a little darker. It isn't as dark. Oh... and the Vintage Mica... its securely on there. It doesn't get all messy & it still has it flakey shimmery look, just not messy. I do a lot of playing around to make sure it can be picked up by little ones hands. I have many testers : )

Oh... and the little "circus Fairy" title.... Not sure why; but the sweet thing made me think of that. It's a bit different and don't you think a child deserves it. I do. It's a good thing.
ohhhh La Bonne Vie!
