Confectionique: Mademoiselle Winter

Mademoiselle Winter

I found a delightful vintage dress made of dreamy pale aqua silk and toile at a second hand store. Natually, it reminded me of something a fashionable young woman would have worn at a winter dinner party in Paris in the 1950s. I wasn't certain exactly what I would do with it, but I knew it would fit in wonderfully in our upcoming holiday market.

When my daughter, a lover off all things fashion, came for a visit, she immediately fell in love with it and knew exactly what she wanted to do with it. With a needle, tread and snowflakes in hand, Rosie set to the painstaking task of transforming her vision into reality.

You will find the heavenly Mademoiselle Winter gracing our window at Confectionique on November 26th.

Sounds like an amazing shop. If you are ever in Mineral Point at La Bella Vita. I have just merged with this fibre arts shop and we are developing a pretty lovely experience. Hope to get to one of your events soon. kath

Shop like a Parisian, live like the French! Confectionique found its inspiration in the street markets and flea markets of Paris, which Anastasia Korbitz and her husband Adam visit every year. Like the weekly or monthly markets of Paris, Confectionique is open only on a few exclusive days every few months. And like the markets of Paris, Confectionique is a refuge of friendship and frivolity in the midst of our hectic, modern lives. Stop by and meet us -- we may become friends for life!

When we are closed, we re-stage our little Paris market and create wonderful new bon bons, so that we can share with you a new market theme and new creations at each market. When we open our French doors again, it will feel as if you just discovered a sweet market filled with new treasures!
