Love is in the Air !
« on: January 16, 2010, 15:24:01 »

Who said that Romance & Gallantry were things of the past ?

I would like my first posting of 2010 to be about what we all aspire to, one way or the other, LOVE !!!

If anyone has a doubt, here is the answer of my happy little Victorians for ever celebrating Valentine's Day at the Mansion...


Romantic Evening at the Mansion

By the gentle candlelight of a Great Chandellier, Romance is in the air tonight !!! Huge Red Roses Bouquets, Champagne on Ice, Caviar, Oysters, a Bowl of Strawberries and a Heart Shaped Chocolate Cake and... is this a Ring in the little box by the Card on the Side Table ?





A Nightingale at the Mansion

They say Her Voice can be heard from both sides of the Atlantic...

Hyde Park's Upper Crust is certainly enjoying her Singing tonight and the Mansion's Ball Room is like a who's who of Victorian Society : the Vanderbilts, Astors, Rockefellers and Rothschilds are all gathering here to celebrate the brightest Star of the Era...Maria Malibran !!!

The Opera Diva also called the Nightingale has just crossed the Ocean on the latest Cunard Steamer for the occasion before she starts her Grand European Tour and our Hosts have really excelled themselves tonight !!!

This will be front page material for the Distinguished Readers of the Delineator in London, La Gazette du Bon Ton in Paris and Cosmopolitan in New York, another success for the Lady of the House !!!

Another excellent custom Victorian marvel, Karim  :wow:! All of your creations look delicious, but you make it difficult to remember they're small  :lol:!
  Forget about all of the other stuff,....all we need is the reintroduction of the 3526 Fire Engine!

Hi Karim  :wave:

   Wow you sure do such a great job on the romance side of humanity. I am a bit of a Playmobil puritist but after seeing all your work I am becoming swayed ever so slightly into trying out doll-house accessories. I do not think I would be able to put them to such glorious use though .

   Thanks for sharing your romance  :love:

Bonjour Playmofriends

Bill :wave: I am a Foodie so just like in my fridge at home, you will always find something delicious in my pictures one way or the other

Ras :wave: Using non Playmobil items ( dolls house miniatures on a 1/12th scale ) was a worry for me when I joined but all my works have been so well received that I do not regret I once "jumped the fence"   ;)

Gas  :wave: Romantic, me ? How did you guess  :lol:? Isn't Love what we all aspire to ultimately ? I do not know for taste but I do have an eye for color association and just like in real life, I will go the extra mile - and mean many miles - to find just the right item as I visualised it. I will all make you laugh but I am thinking of re-doing my kitchen wallpaper in France and will go through hundreds of references until I find the right one, so I guess I am a bit of perfectionist at times  :-[

Karim :)

That really is beautiful Karim! Your scenes are so evocative of the romanticism we associate with that era, a wonderful start for the new year.  :wow:
