Grins and Giggles-Past Meets Present

While enjoying a day in history...

technology calls.

Welcome to My Blog!

Welcome to my new blog about historic reenacting!

I thought I would do my first post explaining a little bit about the main character I portray,

a very wealthy Victorian era lady.

Miss Emma is the daughter of a very wealthy Englishman who fell in love with her mother, a Charleston belle.

Emma only wears the finest and most beautiful of gowns in the Paris fashion.

I am of the opinion that if I am to pretend to be someone from another era that person should be weathy and wear the prettiest dresses!

I am very blessed to have a dear friend, Christine, who also happens to be a talented seamstress.

She makes most of my gowns:).

This is my 'curtain dress' (what can I say, we all have a little Scarlett in us:).

The skirt is made from Walmart shower curtains.

The bodice is made from velvet curtain panels also from Walmart.

Hubby portrays a wealthy Victorian gentleman.

Sometimes hubby and I portray Jane Austen and Mr. Darcy.

Needless to say, I never know who I am until I see what dress I'm wearing!

Thanks for visiting-I look forward to meeting others who love history and reenacting like we do!

Come back again soon to learn more about this wonderful hobby:).
