Earthly paradise in winter Niagara Falls



Niagara Falls seems to be the Canadian attraction and one of the most notorious waterfalls on the Earth. Canada receives more than 20 millions of tourists annually and the most of them get to Niagara Falls. Niagara river connects two of the Great Lakes - Ontario and Eri and is a part of the border between Canada and USA. The waterfall is situated approximately in the middle of the river.
Waterfall consists of two parts - the American and the Canadian. They are separated by the Goat Island. Canadian part is more known. It is 792 wide and about 50 meters high. American part is much more narrow - about 300 meters. The height is approximately the same.

This natural miracle looks beautiful at any time of the year, but please remember, that Canadian winters are rather cold! If you are not afraid of the frost, you will have a delightful opportunity to contemplate stark waterfall in all its magnificence.
In spring it becomes colored with tulips and daffodils. In summer when it's warm and sunny you often can watch a rainbow above waterfall.

One of the most exciting experiences is the trip to waterfall on the boat. It's necessary to wear a raincoat because you get wet anyway.
Another way to get strong impressions is the Journey Behind the Falls. Lift takes you to three tunnels from where opens a breathtaking view to waterfalls. You can also admire Niagara from the air in helicopter.
Some prefer to enjoy a spectacular view of Niagara from the bridges - Rainbow Bridge is the most popular one.

The nearest big cities are Buffalo in USA and Toronto in Canada, but there is a city Niagara Falls just by the waterfall.
Attractions include Queen Victoria Park, adjacent to the Canadian Falls; the historical museum at Lundy's Lane, site of a brutal battle between American and British forces in 1814; Skylon Tower and Pavilion, containing a revolving restaurant and an observation deck overlooking the falls; and of course, Casino Niagara.
Above the waterfall itself the place also boasts rich fauna. Niagara shores are inhabited by 19 kinds of gulls. Niagara Parks Butterfly Conservatory is a home for 50 kinds of butterflies from all over the world.

Thank you cards

Dearest Dolls,


Every modern girl knows that even though some social practices are outdated, good manners are still and always will be extremely important in both your personal and professional life.  Proper etiquette and good manners are not just for the old fashion, stuffy folks, they are crucial to building positive relationships with others and serve to show others that you respect, care about, and appreciate them. Therefore, we think it's always handy to have a good set of thank you cards ready!  Whether it's thanking someone for a gift, helping you move, or setting up a job interview, a thank you card is a nice, intimate touch that really shows you care. Here are some unique thank you cards that we thought are sure to liven up your correspondence:




This thank you note available at Barnes & Noble is elegant and tasteful. The front of the card is designed with Queen Anne lace, and the inside is blank, giving you plenty of room to share your thanks with a friend, family member, or employer.




If you want something more unique, then these handmade thank you cards by Etsy seller thecraftpantry are right for you. The simple design and the bright florals make this a fun and fresh choice to express your gratitude. 




These pretty note cards from Etsy seller Sweet Bella are also handmade, and are just so fresh and sweet. We love that the set comes with matching envelope seals, to provide a very finished look to your correspondence. 




Continuing with the bird theme, we recommend this card from PaperPrince Marami. The splashes of color and delicate print give the card a vintage touch, but it is still formal enough to send to co-workers as well as friends and family.




For a more eco-conscious choice, try this "green" thank you note by Night Owl Paper Goods. Made from layers of harvested wood bits and paper scraps, every single card is one-of-a-kind, not to mention absolutely lovely.




Sometimes less is more! This thank you card available at Red Stamp is so simple and cute, and would be a great for teachers and students alike. Plus we love that the card is gender neutral, so you can share them with whomever!


Thank you, ever so much, for reading!


XOXO,


Jen & Saira

Sculpture in the shape of female body

A pretty figurine...isn't the very concept reminiscent of romantic splendors and art wonders? Yes because figurines are minute forms of figures or statues of angels, humans and animals. They are much smaller than life-size and are fabulous iconic display of the imaginative thoughts of art creators.  Naturalistic figurine- these include naturalistically portrayed human figures with big face, huge busts or tall legs.
