Hi Guys :wave:

I hope that you are all well !!!

I am currently working on the landscaping project around my Victorian Mansion and it so exciting to gather all different ideas and styles...

One my previous Ebay Customer, a Lady from the Netherlands has asked me - on numerous occasions - to release one more auction before I fully immerse myself in my landscaping project and I have obliged with an Easter themed set which I will be listing next week.

I have posted a picture I took a few minutes ago in the Photos section and more to come next week.

I will keep you posted soon with my project soon...

Easter Sunday at the Mansion

There is excitement in the air today as Easter Sunday High Tea at the Mansion marks the opening of the Victorian Social Calendar.

Springtime in England not only dresses parks and gardens with soft shades of pinks, blues and greens but also the Ball Room of the Mansion specially decorated for the occasion.

The Upper Crust of Victorian Society is gathering here in Hyde Park this afternoon to discuss the latest gossip over a cup of tea. While distinguished Gentlemen are admiring the fine English landscape painting, Ladies dressed in the latest fashion are undulging in a selection of cakes to die for.

Large bouquets of flowers are filling the air with a sweet lilac fragrance, the silver tea set is polished to perfection and the best china is on the table with matching napkins under a shiny brass chandelier.

A bust of our beloved Queen Victoria presides over this jolly Assembly and the Maid is as always perfectly efficient and stylish.

Easter Sunday High Tea at the Mansion will surely be featured in the next issue of the Delineator and the Strand...yet another success for the Lady of the Mansion.

Another triumph, Karim!  After making such a lovely scene I wonder how you can bear to part with it.  Best of luck with the auction!   :)

Hi Indianna  :wave:

Long time no speak...

Thank you for your comment !!!

Apart from silk brocades swag curtains being made as we speak, I am now totally involved in my landscaping project and did not expect to put any new item on Ebay until after the project was completed - which will take a few months.

But it was counting without the perseverance of one of my most loyal Customer who suggested an Easter Theme set for her Grand Daughter over and over and over again, and I finally gave in

Your eagle eye would certainly have spotted another Seller which was "inspired" by my creations and offers Themed Sets...if it can infuse creativity and originality, I am all for it.

With the ongoing recession, let's see if the storm that created my 13 previous sets back in February still has some power in it.

I follow very carefully the number of hits per day and number of people who are watching this item.

Do you know that back In February, I nearly dropped my glass of Merlot when my first set reached 175.00 pounds - if I had been in a WB Cartoons, my jaw would have dropped on my keyboard.

Let me tell you a little anecdote that will certainly make you smile : in January 09, the South West region of France saw a very nasty storm hitting its coasts with major damages and in early Feruary an even nastier storm hit it again with the eye of the Storm this time only 50 miles north of my house - a 16th century house near Cognac - and the top of my roof was blown away. My neighbour called my mum who lives about 30 miles away, she called a Roofer, insurance re-imbursed the damage. I had not done my attic insulation until now because of the bad exchange rate Euro / Sterling and wanted to do it sometimes this summer...

But thanks to 13 Playmobil Sets sold on Ebay on the 3rd weekend of Feb. 09', I was able to do my insulation in a huge attic - hence a hefty price.

Even when I will be a very old Gentleman - which I hope I will - I will remember that I owe that cosy / warm as a toast feeling in winters to a handful of Playmobil Sets back in 2009.

So my Little Victorians, THANK YOU  :wow: :wow: :wow: !!!

Hello Everyone  :wave:

I am so busy these days that I cannot spend any quality time and visit my favorite sites...

Just a quick note to tell you that my Ebay auction did well with 143.00 pounds plus shipping costs - 522 hits - and 39 bids.

Not bad at all considering the recession.

I hope to catch up very soon...
