robinsnestYAY Belvidere!
So lots of other people have already posted about the marvelous time we had at Belvidere! I met up with lots of people, met lots of new friends! Saw lots of beautiful clothing and wished I had millions of dollars to buy antique jewelry.
My favorite annecdote was when this very odd lady walks into the tent on a cell phone. Talking LOUDLY, describing us as if we weren't actually capable of hearing her "And this One she's got the cutest little hat! it's like a little tall hat"![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
madamkat , "it's a mini top hat" Lady "And her dress has stripes, horizontal purple stripes!" Please observe just how marvelous she looked in her purple stripes
I had no idea how flattering horizontal stripes could be! But then she does have such a lovely figure to begin with. (P.S. my favorite part is totally those tassels, they just peak out and say "hello I'm fabulous!")
We had a tintype taken of the group again and I cannot wait to get my hands on a copy of it! I think I'll frame this one again and start a little grouping of them on the wall.
My dress turned out okay in the end. I still have an evil wrinkle across the top and I need to reset my sleeves, add cuffs and move some stuff around. But all in all not to shabby. I got lots of compliments on my "tweedy" look, and apparently I have a good enough hair piece that people believe it's' really my hair. Who knew!
First we have a few shots of our awesome games of croquet on the worlds largest croquet pitch (if we hadn't cheated a wee bit we'd never have finished before dark
Next up we've got a few shots from around the camp
Good help is soooooo hard to find. Luckily Davis was there an taking care of everyone's needs. :-)

I LOVE croquet! So much fun.
