Vintage furniture

Inspired by other people's collection, I bought my first vintage furniture sets.
A vintage german 70´s Bodo Hennig Kitchen. I love it because reminds me so much of my childhood. My mom had a kitchen cabinet similar to this, blue and white and with same shape red handles.



- and a vintage Carolines Home sofa set, 16th scale



Now that I discovered vintage furniture hope to recreate my childhood universe in miniature.

Three Sisters

Chapter 4
Groom's arrival


Michael and his friends have arrived.



They get lost and asked for help a nice lady.



Searching on map for the address, found that they go in the same place. She is Camilla, the maid of honor.



Sofia welcomes them with bread and salt after a Romanian custom. She is wearing a romanian national costume, that her grandmother made for her.



They were all concerned to know each other, when they noticed that Sofia feels sick and and fell on the floor. "The costume is too tight", said the sisters

Three Sisters

Chapter 3
New vocation


Sofia is so excited. Her life is totally changed. She needs some pretty dresses, but can't go to Paris to shop. She remembers hearing her father was tailor. So she dediced to go in the attic to find her father things. She was surprised to find there a lot of fine fabrics - lace, velvet, silk- a sewing machine and some patterns.



Her father was a faimous tailor. He was making dresses to the most richest and elegant ladys from Paris. He also worked for the Paris Theater and Opera wardrobe. She began to remember so many beautiful things of her childhood - all those elegant ladies that came in their home. Sometimes her father took her with him to the theatre and she was admiring, from a corner, the stylish outfits and the beautifull dresses. And, look, she found her mother's wedding dress. So beautifull.



Sofia has taken all these things and started to work on a new dress.

Three Sisters

Chapter 2
The choise


Sofia is in love by Jim, a handsome and nice young man. But her sisters have clearly said no. She needs a man to financial support and to offer her a life without worries. A man with a stable financial situation and with good reputation. So they have remembered her the beautiful life in Paris. She want to see Paris again more than everything. So in this material world, from the fear of any woman not to remain poor, she made the choice.

















His name is Mr. Michael Green. He is the son of Charles and Cordelia Green. He comes from a wealthy and respectable family.
(please go to Carol's blog http://myrealitty.blogspot.com/2009/12/bachelors-for-dana.html to read the story)



Now he is comming in her country and she began preparations to receive him properly, after this long and exhausting journey. His best friend Jim Smith, also a bachelor, offered to accompany him. He will be the best man. I think he was also charmed by the beauty of the girls.

She will also write to her cousin Lady Camille from England and ask her to be maid of honor. It's a special bound between Sofia and Camille, because they grew up together.

Three Sisters

Chapter 1
Family Portrait


An old photo on a box. The family portrait of the three sisters.

















It was in Paris that the sisters grew up, and they all long to return to the sophistication and happiness of that time. The girl were quite isolated in their small town.


Maria is the eldest of the three sisters. She is 28 years old. She married her husband, John, when she was 18 and just out of school. She married for love, but she has been disappointed in the marriage and falls completely in love with the idealistic George. They begin a clandestine affair. When he is transferred away, she is crushed. Her husband leaves. They have one child together, Andrew, who remains in her care.

Andrew is 10 years old. He is the only boy in the family and the sisters idolize him. He is a very spoiled boy.



Stela is the middle sister. Her only desire is to go back to Paris, which they left eleven years before their parents died. She believes she will find her true love in Paris, but when it becomes clear that they are not going to Paris, she agrees to marry the Baron Mihail, whom she admires but does not love. She gets her teaching degree and plans to leave with the Baron, but he is shot by Victor in a pointless duel. She decides to dedicate her life to art and theatre. Now she is a great actress, thanks to the popularity brought by her marriage with a rich man. She is 24 years old, now.



Sofia is the youngest sister. She admires her sister Stela and wants to be like her. She is intelligent, but quiet and the very example of purity. She is known equally for her porcelain skin - despite her love of gardening and the outdoors - and her kind heart. She is innocent and not capable of perceiving the mean, cold world around her.

Her beauty soon became known throughout the world, and one young man after another came forth to ask her hand in marriage.
(please go to Carol's blog to read the story http://myrealitty.blogspot.com/2009/12/bachelors-for-dana.html)

But her older sisters, who had experience of failed marriages, said that she is too young. Her sisters are protecting her, maybe, a litlle bit to much. But now is the time. She is 21 years old.
