vana and I have been online friends since the beginning of this blogging journey. I was immediately smitten with her sillouettes, attention to detail and loads of talent. Then I realized that on top of all of this, I just really liked the sweet woman behind the lovely shop, le papier studio. Which is why I have always felt so proud to have vana on bliss...
I am not at all surprised by how much I love le papier studio's holiday collection. I have already professed this love for vana's calenders...


The rest of it is just as perfect.
Besides the holiday items, I would personally choose this and this (hint: birthday one week from today...got that mr. french ?):
Thank you vana...on top of talented, you are too generous! xo mrs. french

my favorite item is the Couples' Silhouettes canvas calendar, how adorable!
The wonderful ornaments remind me of the silhouette portraits my grandmother had made for all 5 of her children. These portraits were one of my favorite features of her home. My mom still hangs hers in her bedroom. I would love an ornament like it! Gorgeous work!
The cufflinks are my favorite!!

Ooh I love the 2010 Canvas Wall Calendar with Couples' Silhouettes. I love her work...I have a set of her personalized stationery that's just so beautiful!
I'm not sure I could choose between the botanical calendar, the round brass frame silhouette necklace, or the custom couple framed silhouette. It's such a charming shop!

I'm in love with the Poppy Branch cards. They'd be perfect for corresponding with one of the professors in my department who refuses to use email. I think I'd get some major points with her (and I need every one of those I can get).

i would have to vote for the calendar, until i saw the christmas cards, and then i saw the tote bags
it is all just lovely!
Vana made a gorgeous silhouette locket for me as a engagement present for one of my best friends featuring both her and her partner's silhouettes. I would love one of these for myself. I also love the calanders. Thanks for the beautiful shadows, Vana!
I love the silhouette necklace, it is definately my favourite, such a lovely keepsake and something to cherish always. x
definitely the pillow calender!! please let me win ;)

Love, love, love the silhouette pillows!
okay...chosing one is TOUGH!!! I love the idea of having sillouette ornaments, but I also love the romantic calendar!! decisions, decisions!!!
Both, you, Mrs. French & Vana have been in my little circle of "bloggers from the beginning". And you're, both, the sweetest of gals.
Now how could I pass up such an opportunity?! Of course, I adore all of Vana's work but I'm quite partial to dainty lockets. So, I'd have to say one of my very favorite Le Papier Studio pieces is Vana's Small Silhouette Locket.
Fingers are crossed :)
It's hard to choose just one thing, everything's fantastic, but I guess my favourite are the kids silhouettes.
Impossible to choose just one item! The necklace perhaps? The new calendar? How about ALL of Le Papier Studio as 1 item?! ;)
xo
I could never choose--I love all of vana's work! (and vana too!)
Ooh - that's hard! I think my most favorite is the romantic silhouettes calendar. Cuuuute!
Love, love the botanical calendar!
the calendar and holiday cards are perfect.
I love the 2010 Botanical Calendar! And I also love the Silhouette Pillows, the Couple Silhouette Print, the Floral Design Calling Cards , the Silhouette Pendant Necklaces, and the Paperweights. OK, so I would have a very hard time choosing! Love this shop!

Oooh, everything is good it's hard to choose. I really love the calendar though. I think I should win simply because I reeeaaally want it.
I would love to have the "Modern Blossom Save the Date Announcements" for my wedding invitations. So beautiful! There is something so serene and sweet about her work.
I just found Vana via Nienie's Blog. I didn't see it in her items yet but I just wrote to Vana and asked her if she could possibly make a keychain for my bf with my silhouette on it...so that he can carry a piece of me wherever he goes.
Hands down........paperweights...........beautiful.....:-)
Definitely the botanical calendar, so pretty and the stand just gives it that touch of class!
