The Catholic Edit: Ave Maria Tee/ The Rouge-Blanche-Bleu Edition.
@storyboardc.
Hi Friends,
I know I posted my second edit over a week ago on Instagram and not here on the little blog. I will be completely honest, I am really struggling with marketing something so dear to my heart. Most of my life my Faith has been a little sacred garden and it is hard to put it out in a world that is so fast paced and all about instant gratification. I’m trying to find the good and beautiful in IG, but it is hard… it’s really become something that is more than sharing photo’s and words. But, being here on the blog seems better. I promise I will keep trying on IG, but this will always be my creative home.
This is my second version of the Ave Maria Tee: The Rouge-Blanche-Bleu edition. Inspired by my lifelong love of Mary, France and the current US Presidential election season. I know that’s a lot inspo in one tee:) But, welcome to my creative juices…
I was initially designing the tee after the Paris Olympics and was so struck by the Christian outrage of the opening ceremonies mockery of the Last Supper and recalled how France once was known for it’s faithfulness and was described as the ‘Eldest Sister of the Church’. In my design, I wanted to honor the prayers of so many during that time to Mary’s intercession. I was also prayfully reflecting on the US’s current Presidential election and the great divide among so many. I know a Tee can’t solve any of it. But, Prayers can and displaying Mary in the everyday hopefully can remind others of her Son.
For the Catholic Edit, again I wanted to share things that have a prayful approach to style and to support other Catholic Creators. Of course, I added some fun stuff as a reminder that sharing our Faith doesn’t have to be boring, but beautiful.
This Little Rosary prayer book has been my companion for praying the rosary for many years. It fits perfectly in your hands and the scriptural meditations are simply beautiful.
Handmade Rosaries are my favorite, I just adore Little Rose Designs and she just opened her shop again! The Rosary I featured here is the Our Lady of the most vulnerable stone Rosary + decade set.

Mother Mary, Pray for us.
