Dopo avere tante volte raccontato la mia passione per le vecchie lettere e biglietti augurali, oggi mi sembra l'occasione giusta per mostrarvi qualcuno di questi incomparabili tesori e augurarvi con parole che vengono da un tempo lontano, un felice Natale...
After having told so many times my passion for old letters and greeting cards, now it seems to me the perfect opportunity to show you some of these unique treasures and wish you, with words that come from a distant time, a merry Christmas ...

Tutti gli oggetti che compaiono in queste immagini fanno parte della mia piccola collezione Vittoriana ed Edoardiana: una passione che dona alla mia vita, intensi momenti di emozione. Questa continua ricerca mi ha offerto l'opportunità di approfondire molti argomenti, scoprire nuovi lati di me stessa, dare un nuovo valore al passato e alle vecchie cose...
La stessa passione per le case di bambola nasce dal mio amore per l'epoca Vittoriana ed Edoardiana e forse, un giorno, io stessa mi trasformerò in una piccola e fragile bambola, che vive immersa in un'immobilità eterna e rassicurante, tra le mura della sua casa di bambola...
The same passion for dollhouses comes from my love of Victorian and Edwardian and maybe one day I'll turn myself into a small and fragile doll who lives immersed in the eternal and reassuring stillness, behind the walls of her doll house ...

Those cards are so pretty. I collect things with violets on them and have several Victorian cards with those on them. Also china with wall to wall wild violets.

They are so very beautiful and evocative of a romantic spirit all but lost in these times of electronic communications - but then it has it's upside too because without the marvelous technology that allowed you to share them with us we wouldn't be able to share our passion for romance and miniatures. Thank you for sharing them Flora, and a very Merry Christmas to you and your family. xx

Dear Flora, I have been so LATE to come here and wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! I LOVE the old things too.... I used to collect more... now I try to just collect in Mini... (not enough room for the large things!) My favorite Old Times are the Medieval times... so not much has survived til now... but I collect the reproductions of the books... all hand lettered and painted! I know what you mean about craving the peacefulness of a simpler age...! But I have found over the years as my children were growing up (and gave me NO Peace! and very little time...!) that the only place that one truly finds Peace is in your Heart... it is not outside oneself... only within... if you know what I mean!
RispondiEliminaFor the New Year I sincerely wish that you will know Peace and carry it in your Heart wherever you are!
Increible. He pasado un muy buen rao visitando tu blog. Te felicito por tus trabajos y me hago seguidora tuya.

I too have been remiss in my visits to friends' blogs and only read this beautifully written post today.
RispondiEliminaThis year has started with events that seem bent on pulling us away from things we seek solace in. For me, t was mini and blogging.
No matter, eventually we will come back :)
