Addition and Addendum!

Addition to the auction being held for Valorie Hart and Alberto Paz!

While Julie Neill so graciously explained that the crown I bought in her shop was not crafted by her (but I tell you,it looks very much like the little crowns she fashions on some of her chandeliers, hence my mistake), she has so generously donated this beautiful sconce for our auction. Please start your bids at $50 and since this is a late addition bidding will close midnight Tuesday!

All proceeds will go to the paypal account:  boutique@planet-tango.com

Julie Neill Designs

Visual Vamp's Valorie, the tango dancing designer, turned me on to Julie Neill Designs a beautiful chandelier and furnishings designer and shop owner in New Orleans. She is fabulously creative and names all of her designs for the clients she is designing for. I immediately wrote for a catalog to keep on hand for client's (and my) specialty lighting. She designs with metals and woods that create beautiful elegance. For a glimpse into Julie's store look here at a posting done by Valorie. The pictures below are just a sampling...I know they are small, please go to Julie's website for larger. There is not just one that is my favorite, they are all spectacular and unique.

Notice the "crown" detail on most of her designs, fitting with New Orleans royalty. Julie also introduces New Orleans artists on her blog the Bayou Contessa, check it out here.
