I miss reading everyone's post-event wrap ups...So I'm gonna try and be good and write one.

New Castle DE does a spirit of Christmas with a ball on Friday night and several teas on Saturday. After a recon mission last year with [livejournal.com profile] miss_philomena and [livejournal.com profile] mandie_rw we decided we definitely wanted to go this year. peeking through the windows had revealed that the space the hold the ball in was relatively small so 1830s was voted in to avoid the extra space of hoops.

The arrival )
The ball )

Saturday )
All in all it was a delightful trip with wonderful people. I look forward to doing it next year and hoping more people chose to join us.

So I completely forgot but there's this dress I've always wanted to reproduce. It's a portrait of Lucy Webb Hayes commissioned while she was first lady by the Women's Christian Temperance Union, because of her ban of alcohol at white house functions. I know her husband wasn't the greatest of american presidents. But a. I think I kind of look like her b. I totally love the gown and c. As a teatotaller myself I enjoy the irony. and it is also burgundy velvet. 1881 is earlier than I had intended to go, but It's awfully pretty and Christmas like. (apologies on the terrible image, I had a devil of a time finding one that wasn't thumnail size)
