romantic...





Art Deco inspired, full of glamour... 

  the sun is setting through the old homestead window

 onto the vintage handkerchief box,

love taking photographs with various lighting...

Image what treasures might have been kept in this glass treasure box?

Perfect for Marty's Table Top Tuesday

and

White Wednesday at Faded Charm

please come visit my shops if you have a chance...

thanks,

Karen

Rosecliff Mansion

I have been attending a series of quest speakers, dramatic readings and more

about the book and movie "The Great Gatsby"

All events took place in the room above

at Rosecliff Mansion in Newport, R.I.

where many party scenes from the movie where filmed..

Who can forget Robert Redford and Mia Farrow in this tragic love story

by F. Scott Fitzgerald

during the roaring 20's....

Rosecliff was commissioned by

Theresa Fair Oelrichs in 1899...

A silver heiress.

The house was completed in 1902

at a reported cost of $2.5 million...

Mrs. Oelrichs hosted fabulous entertainments here,

including a fairy tale dinner and a party featuring famed magician Harry Houdini
here is the party filmed in the back yard at Rosecliff...



Can you imagine the parties, the clothing, the food, the jewels?

Will be attending a Gatsybian like Jazz concert there soon,
cannot wait.
