Milano Sposi, one of the most important fairs in Italy dedicated to the world of wedding, takes place in the Mediolanum Forum of Assago, near Milan.

Although the institution of marriage seems to have lost its importance in the last few years, there are still many couples that wish to get married and that hope to do that in the best possible way, planning a perfect ceremony and taking care of each detail, from placeholders at the restaurant to the honey moon.

Milano Sposi, the fair dedicated to the brides and grooms and to the day that should be the most beautiful day of their lives, is meant to provide the couple with all the instruments and ideas to plan the perfect wedding, the furnishing of the house and so on. An event that keeps achieving success although the institution of marriage is losing its importance, as highlighted by the data regarding the number of celebrated weddings in the last few years: while in 1994 over 290.000 weddings took place in Italy, in 2008 the couples that decided to get married were less than 250.000. Nonetheless the pavilions of Milano Sposi are always full of couples who visit the stalls looking for an original idea for the dress, for the hairdo of the bride and so on.

Among all the fairs dedicated to this field that have been organized in the last few years Milano Sposi stands out for “seniority”, for a wide and variegated offer and for an established reputation, which turn it into one of the most appreciated fairs dedicated to weddings in the north of Italy and in Switzerland. Milano Sposi is being held for the 34th time in 2010, and it still has those features that have accompanied it throughout its long history: variety and quality of the products and services that are offered, the perfect combination of tradition and originality and un unmatchable capacity to welcome visitors, making them feel at ease. The visitors of the fair, indeed, do not only have the possibility to visit the many stalls trying to grab information, “steal” original ideas and get in touch with specialized companies, they can also enjoy many other advantages: every night, from the 7th to the 10th of October (these are the days when the 34th fair will take place), visitors will have the chance to enjoy a free happy hour, while during the day some professional hair-stylists and make-up artists, used to work in the showbiz and fashion, will be at the brides-to-be disposal to give them precious tips about the make-up and hairdo to choose for the wedding day. A consulting service for stars, and whats more it is free!

Visiting the fair the grooms and brides-to-be really feel pampered, but the primary purpose of those who visit the fair is understanding how to plan each detail of a perfect ceremony. In this sense Milano Sposi is the ideal place: many sectors are represented, from dresses to the location for the reception, from photocalls to original gifts for the guests, from flower decorations to make-up and hairdo, from the entertainment to the wedding planner, from the catering to the car to rent and so on. And this is not all: the fair organizers have dealt also with what there is after the ceremony: the honey moon, with many travel agencies, but also the new house of the couple, with many stall dedicated to furniture.

Modern Dollhouses- A Surprisingly Wonderful Hobby

By blogger on

Looking for a getaway? You know, the kind of place that you can go to escape from the stress and pressure of, well, just living. If that is what you are looking for then you need a hobby. And the hobby that I would like you to consider is building, or at least collecting, modern dollhouses.

Your initial reaction is likely, You have got to be kidding! How is that a getawayor an escape? Sounds like a toy for kids.

Well, actually, I was right where you are a while back. I surely wasnt looking for a hobbyand even if I was, anything associated with dollhouses would be the furthest thing from my mind.

In fact, I didnt find a dollhouse hobby. It found me. And I have my granddaughter to thank for that.

It all started with wanting to get her the perfect Christmas gift. Since she had a bunch of dolls my wife suggested that we start looking at dollhouses. Before long, we found one that we liked on the internet and we ordered it.

The dollhouse arrived a few days before Christmas and I began the not so easy task of assembling the house. On Christmas Eve we proudly placed the finished dollhouse by the Christmas tree, anticipating that our granddaughter was going to love her gift.

Then came Christmas day and, sure enough, our granddaughter loved her gift. Quickly, she ran for her dolls, gathered them up, and hauled them to her new dollhouse. But suddenly, joy turned to sadness when she discovered that her dolls were like giants in comparison to the house. When ordering the house I had no idea that only certain houses accommodate the size of todays most popular dolls. Houston, we have a problem!

So, we came up with two possible solutions. We could order another dollhouse scaled for her dolls or, we could order dolls and accessories to match the size of the existing dollhouse. After some discussion we all agreed, granddaughter included, that the house was indeed wonderful and the best solution was to accessorize the new house.

With one failed effort under my belt I was determined not to mess up again. This time I did considerable research before making additional purchases.

The first thing I learned came as quite a surprise. What I thought was a simple toy for kids turned out to be a huge hobby for adults. Dollhouse hobbyistsboth builders and collectors are incredibly passionate about their hobbies and they love to talk about their chosen craft. The information that I needed was abundantly available.

In the process we discovered that just about anything available in the way of architecture, furnishings, and accessories has made it to the world of miniature dollhouses. And the first question that we always got when talking to a dollhouse collector was, What kind of house do you have?

The house we had purchased from all the many styles was a modern dollhouse. Actually, we were just looking for something that we thought our granddaughter would like. But the more we researched modern dollhouses the more we realized that modern dollhouses offered more material choices and greater opportunities for creativity.

I guess you have figured out that by this time we were hooked on dollhouses, and in particular, modern dollhouses. What followed was an obsession with decorating, furnishing, and finding the perfect dolls (and clothing) to go with our granddaughters modern dollhouse.

Now we had something that provided not only great interest for our granddaughter, but something that had captured our imaginations as well.

So, we worked together on the project, and the process of ordering accessories took us around the world. That is, we ordered select pieces from around the world thanks to the help of the World Wide Web.

When you become passionate about a hobby you get so caught up in it that it actually becomes a place of escape. You quickly learn that in stressful times you can throw your mind and energy into your project and forget your troubles. Moreover, its not something that you can only do a couple of times a year when your vacation time rolls around, but something you can do every day if you are so inclined.

There is also this wonderful fraternity of like-minded people who love to share their related experiences. And if you happen to land on a hobby that involves the people you love then it is really special.

Modern dollhouses make for a wonderful hobby. Unlike other styles, like Victorian and ranch houses, modern dollhouses allow you room to dream without boundaries. The sky is the limit.

Most important is to find a hobby that you can passionately throw yourself into. No matter how old you areits great to dream again. It will do you a world of good. My recommendation is modern dollhouses. If not thatthen find your own thing. You will be glad you did.
