Sunday was spectacular ,I went to for a venetian afternoon tea and I met up with my fellow Steampunks , stunning masks, stylish outfits. It inspired me to post about Venice.

You can go to Venice lots of different times of the year however as I Was inspired by the Venetian carnival at the week I thought I would share some information.

When is it ? what is it ? The Venetian Carnival is an iconic and historic festival that takes place in Venice, Italy, known for its elaborate masks, Spectacular costumes, and vibrant celebrations. The Carnival usually occurs in the weeks leading up to Lent and culminates on Shrove Tuesday.
