Last summer Melissa introduced me to the most talented artist. Laura of SpunSugarPaperie (how fun is that name) paints the most darling and detailed watercolors. The first time I visited her etsy shop I knew we would become fast friends as we loved all the same things....sweets, Paris and all things feminine! I think you all are just going to go gaga for her stuff too (not to mention her AMAZING prices!).
I placed an order from Laura right away and bought an original watercolor depicting a Chanel bottle of Coco Mademoiselle (above) and then a box of my beloved Laduree macarons:
The macaron print is a perfect addition to my kitchen and the Chanel perfume looks divine in my guest room.
I was SO impressed with the quality of these original paintings that I commissioned Laura to do a painting for my mother's birthday. Of course it had to be blue and white:
Isn't it wonderful? I liked it so much I almost kept it for myself...alas, I gave in and did gift it and it is now on my mother's bedside table.
Laura is just a dream to work with and I cannot wait to get my next two commissions in the mail!
While SpunSugarPaperie mostly offers paintings, there is also a darling selection of cards (made from your selection of prints), scarves and aprons. Laura will also design just about anything else your heart desires and I can vouch (as can Melissa) that she can make anything look beautiful!
With all that being said I am so excited that Laura has offered to host a giveaway!!!

Love! Thanks for introducing us to her work! Love the mint milkshake! I like m&m on fb to!
What WILL I do w/out all of your wonderful recommendations and suggestions, Hopsy? Thank you for introducing me to a new artist. (And how thoughtful you are to have a painting done for your mother.)
My favorite original painting is "Confiture et Croissant" because it reminds me of many breakfasts in France when I studied there.
AND. . . I am a long-time "liker" follower of your M&M FB page; I'm so glad that we'll still be able to catch up w/ you there.
Question re the frame w/ your Coco painting--do you recall where you got it? I love the "rope" effect.
Thanks and best wishes,
@cspod xoxo
Ooh I have been a longtime fan of the macaron flavors painting. Brings back such great (and yummy) memories!
I love the Channel painting!
