18th Century Ballgown

Well, my dear readers, I've promised again and again to get photos of my finished ballgown.  It's been two months since I wore the dress to the Vintage Ball, and I've finally gotten some pictures.  What better day to do a photoshoot than when it's nearly 50 degrees out but there's 5 inches of snow on the ground?!

Yes, that's right I'm playing in the snow.

Little church in Eagle Rock.

The church we attend.

My mom cracks me up.

Random blurry photo that I thought looked really cool.

Credit goes to my wonderful mom for taking the pictures, tramping through the snowy woods and getting her shoes wet, and driving me to the churches!

Giveaways....

Okay, so y'all know just how much I LOVE  English Country Dancing (duh, I was sooo excited about the Vintage Ball!).  Well, dear Lucia over at lucia, etc. is giving away a tutorial DVD called English Country Dancing, Vol. 1.  So head on over, enter the giveaway at  http://one-beloved.blogspot.com/2012/02/english-country-dance-dvd-giveaway.html, and start learning how to REALLY dance.  (Warning, no teenyboppers allowed.  Young ladies only.  LOL)

Also Savories of Life is having a giveaway as well!  With earrings, lip balm, a greeting card, and tote and shopping bags, there's sure to be something to interest you.  Go check it out!

On a completely different note....some exciting news is that there is the newly founded Regency Society of Virginia.  Any readers here in VA that like Jane Austen (uhhhh, am I talking about myself?) should probably enjoy them!  I'm just hoping that maybe there will be some dances....even though I think Regency fashions look absolutely horrendous on me.  :-/

Silly photos

Hello my dear readers!  I'm so sorry that I haven't posted anything as of late.  Time and again, I've tried to get photos of my ball gown and stays, but it's either been too cold out or my brother has taken the camera!  Anyways, it was a beautiful day a few days ago, so Grace and I took a walk in the woods and got some pictures of me being goofy.  Enjoy!

Hello down there!

"I will worship while I'm waiting..."

...and how am I supposed to get down from here?

What next?

Agghhh!  It's a leaf!!!  LOL

I'll load up more when I'm at school on Wednesday because they have wayyyy faster internet than here at the house!
