Larkspur Lantern House: A Pastel Fantasy Victorian–Art Nouveau Miniature (and How You Can Build One)
Welcome to Larkspur Lantern House, founded in the year 1898¾ (time runs differently in Verdigris Hollow—blame the tea).

The flowing, organic lines feel alive, like the building itself is preparing to take flight.

Once upon a thyme (yes, we went there), Madame Ficus ran a wildly popular indoor plant speakeasy beneath the cobbled streets of Montpetit—a fictional, vaguely French town where pigeons wear berets and every baguette is perfectly crisp. After the Great Terracotta Shortage of ’47 (don’t Google it, it’s not real), she emerged from her underground jungle with a mission: bring greenery and guffaws back to the people...
