On our way, we stopped at Shirley Plantation, and there was this vintage car club touring the place, so there were LOTS of old cars. Of course, we just had to get a picture with one of them.
On the back porch steps!
I really wish I could have gotten pictures of the inside of the house. Some of the ladies in the paintings has the most gorgeous outfits EVER. I'm going to try to sketch them so that I can make them sometime.
Berkeley Plantation. Some of the scenes to the movie To Have and To Hold which is coming to theaters this fall (!!!!) were shot here.
The roses were so pretty.
Before the organ concert at Bruton Parish Church. I finished the drawstring dress in the car!
Pretty-ness.
A glass armonica at Dean Shostak's Crystal Concert.
Yes, that is a glass violin! It's absolutely amazing.
Inside the Wren Building at the College of William and Mary
Just sitting for a bit with good ol' Tommy J. LOL
Inside the armory. I just *had* to get my hands on one of those matchlocks!
Run! Redcoats!
Traitor! Benedict Arnold gives a humiliating speech to the Williamsburg residents.
One of Mom's "look, it's a chicken!" photos.
Jamestowne Settlement
FYI, I made that dress. Without a pattern. From a sheet. Turned out pretty well!
Lastly, glassblowing at the Jamestown Glasshouse. Sorry for the lack of pictures from there, they all turned out pretty dark, as you can see.
On the way to Williamsburg, I was sewing like a maniac on my drawstring dress and a brown roundgown. The latter is not finished yet, but I wore the former in Williamsburg all day. I'm working on a post about the drawstring gown with close-up photos and constructions details.
Now I'm off to get to working on a custom order here! Bye!
