Gettysburg Remembrance Day Weekend

This past weekend was truly wonderful, mostly because I got to spend time with one of my best friends doing something we absolutely love! Nothing beats that. :)

I made a new dress and for the occasion, which turned out quite well. Really makes me miss Civil War reenacting! It's mainly War of 1812 for the next couple years, but I will do everything I can to get my Civil War fix. It is where I started, after all, and I feel "at home" in the era. I think everyone has an era like that. What's yours?

So beautiful. I don't see such pretty gowns here in So CA.

This is absolutely gorgeous! I thought the daguerreotype was original at first and you were copying a dress, but I did a double take and realized it was you! Stunning!

Well, Val, at the least you'll be seeing the navy & pink one around, if you hang at any CWA events ;-) (hopefully with more trim next time around ;-P)

Gasp gasp! Lovely dress! Wow! I'm blown away. I just love the tailored look with the colar. It suits you perfectly.
