The pavilion featured a spectacular facade full of protuberances, vaguely reminiscent of the Pedrera building by Antoni Gaudí. The main door was flanked by two pillars representing two female legs wearing stockings and high-heeled shoes. Through the openings of the irregular façade, visitors could see reproductions of the Saint John the Baptist by Leonardo da Vinci and The Birth of Venus by Botticelli. Between the painter's initial ideas and the [...]
If you're not familiar with the town of Lily Dale, New York, it's called "The Town that Talks to the Dead," b/c it is a town connected with Mediumship and Spiritual Healing. (You can also visit and vacation there.) This 1912 4bd., 2.5ba. restored Victorian home is for sale in Lily Dale. It comes with all the furnishings and is only $250K. I've experienced this town and it is amazing.
It has a spacious entrance hall with an original staircase.
We can look at the furnishings since they all come with the house. Oh, I like that red lampshade. The sitting room is very large and shares its space with the dining area.
Beautiful Victorian fireplace.
The kitchen is very nice. I like the color of the cabinetry for this home.
The current owners have this small side hall set up as a sitting room.
This is nice. Double doors open to reveal a laundry area.
A shelving unit in the upstairs hall has a ladder. Very cute.
The primary bedroom is very large and features a built-in window seat and large nook.
Spacious updated bath has a separate water closet.
The other bedrooms are smaller, but still decent sizes.
Beautiful roof top deck.
Bedroom #4 is large. There's an outside door, but the home is big and has several additions.
Cute vintage bath.
Nice deck on the back of the house.
The 2,121 sq. ft. lot is surrounded by trees that provide privacy.
The town is near Cassadaga Lake.
This is the town's Forest Temple, built in 1894, an outdoor sanctuary where registered mediums hold a free daily Spirit message service at 4PM excluding Sundays. Forest Temple is an area of spiritual, emotional and mental upliftment. In the event of inclement weather, the service is moved indoors. Listen for the bell and follow the sign.
This is the path to Inspiration Stump where mediums deliver Spirit messages twice a day.
Walk along the magical Fairy Trail on the edge of town and find some beautiful surprises along the way.
A fairy house along the trail.
The town is very friendly and full of delightfully pretty houses.
So I have a bunch of ideas for long fics because my goal this year is to deliver longer quality fics over short speedy drabbles and one-shots. I have three options that I very much want to make long fics (like ,, 20k - 40k words). I will put the summaries below to help! Two of these are inspired by movies I watched over the holidays where I went "this is so zosan coded."
Eventually I will post all of these but whichever one gets the most votes will be my priority. Reblogs would be nice as well to get more people to vote ! Love yall mwah happy new year 🎊
Fic 1: Three Pirates and a Princess
A baby was mysteriously placed on the doorstep of Ace, Zoro, and Luffy's shared home five years ago. The little girl, who was a result of a one night stand between Ace and Sanji, is now happily being raised by all 4 of them. Throughout the years, Sanji started to fall for Zoro and vice versa but neither have had the courage to face their feelings head-on. When an opportunity arrives for Sanji to further his career in a different country, he is now faced with a conflict between his growing feelings for Zoro and what is truly best for his daughter.
Fic 2: Mr. Prince Diaries
In order to win the hearts of the people in the Kingdom of Kuraigana, Roronoa Zoro must marry a local noble in order to cement his claim to Dracule Mihawk's throne. However, the Vinsmoke family claimed to have the perfect heir to their throne — the third son Sanji. Zoro must juggle between his responsibilities to the people of Kuraigana and his adoptive father and his rapidly growing distaste (and perhaps fondness) for the blonde bastard who wants to take his crown.
Fic 3: Letters to Baratie
Zeff doesn't hear from Sanji often after he left the Baratie to study abroad in Japan. Zeff hasn't ever gotten the hang of cellphones or computers, so his son sends him letters, detailing everything he's done since the last time he wrote. No letter is the same — except for the increasingly growing paragraphs about a certain green-haired swordsman who seemingly drives Sanji up the wall. Until he doesn't.
‘i got the things i wanted, it’s just not what i imagined’ is soo sejanus plinth after he left for district 12 to become a peacekeeper and escape the capitol and all its misery, in hopes of maybe someday getting to be a medic and help people, only to witness more of its mess and get hanged soon after bye i’m going to cry
My toxic trait is thinking that I could totally be a NYC girl even though I am a born and bred natural enemy of NYC girls (LA girl) and they would descend upon and eat me like so many rats
