Monday Meanderings - February 6, 2017

First Meandering ...

We did it! We're in the new house! It's been insane, and my back is seriously angry with me, but what the hay, right? Pictures to come later.

Second Meandering ...

In spite of the move, hubby and I were able to have our little combined anniversary/Valentine's Day getaway by attending a Regency Romance Ball. It was so fun! The hotel was full of people in Regency period clothing.



They had some instructions on how to do Country Dances of the period. Think Pride & Prejudice.


And this was actually research for the Victorian time travel series I'm writing with three other authors.

What did you do this weekend?

    1. Costume shops or you can sew them or have them sewn. Hubby is wearing a tux with tails and a cravat. I had my dress made (got the pattern online) a couple of years ago for an Austen Tea I attended.

    1. I'm trying to decide if the "little back pain" is really little. I'm afraid it's time to visit the doc again.
