Victorian Everyday

A collection of short photo shoots of my Victorian family....

Houseplant Appreciation Day

January 10th is 'National Houseplant Appreciation' Day. I had picked up some tiny, miniature cyclamen at Vandermeer's, and since they are such an 'old-fashioned' houseplant, I thought they'd go nicely in a Victorian greenhouse.

So Iris was busy looking over her collection of lovely cyclamen.....

Nyssa had inherited her Mom's love of plants....

She especially loved the ones with pink flowers....

Sending Cards

February 7th, is 'Send a Card to a Friend' Day, so Lisa was trying to write some cards....

Then Elin and Nyssa interrupted her....."What are you doing??"

"I'm trying to write some cards to my friends..."

"These look really pretty..."

"Could me and Elin write one to our friends too??"

"Sure, you can each take one..."

"I like this one!"

"And I like this one...

'What should we write??"

"I don't know.."

'Well, you girls think about it, and come back when you know...:

"Now, where was I??"

Flower Day

March 21st is 'Flower Day', and it just so happened that I had picked up three miniature African violets at Vandermeer's recently. I like using real miniature plants in my doll photos, and the tiny cyclamen were almost done, so it was nice to find another tiny flowering plant.

Being another 'old-fashioned' plant, Iris was very happy to include them into her conservatory...

..and of course, Nyssa, who also loved flowers, wanted to help water them...

But being rather short, she needed to stand on a sturdy, overturned bucket....
