Venice Carnival Part 2 | Manor & Maker

Finally we get to showcase Sara's amazing creations in San Marco. We get mobbed by people taking photos and join Vivian, Simon, Isabella and Jack for a turn about the Palazzo. #Venice #Carnival #Chateaulife #Costumes
Manor & Maker theme music by Jamie Christopherson and Jeff MacDonald for Louder Productions.
Sara, an IT professional & Stephen a graphic designer and artist are world travelling Canadians who dreamt of moving to Europe, and France in particular. In 2020 they were working from home when Stephen turned to Sara and popped the question she was longing to hear, “What would have to be true for us to buy a chateau in France?” They searched online for months viewing hundreds of properties. They narrowed their search and toured some properties when they happened upon the one that captured our hearts, Chateau de Saint Germain des Pres. A year later they made the move to France to start their new adventure in our beautiful Chateau. They created “Manor and Maker” to reflect the two sides of their adventure. One, to live as chateau owners with all the ups and downs and two, to pursue their passions as makers, creating art in all its forms. They will invite others to come together, united by their passions, to share in this adventure. We invite you to join us too, as we bring our dreams to life. Welcome to Manor & Maker.

Especially for Steve's art inspiration. So very well done - you deserve all the accolades. I noticed a lot of profesional snappers taking photos . You may end up in one of next year's Venice Calendars. Enjoy the beauty of Venice. You both looked like you were born to it. 😊👏👏😘
