Photoshoot, Circa 1812

As a bit of an update, Christmas was lovely, as I hope everyone else's was! I'm back home now, and I hope to get back a bit to sewing and having fun!

One of my presents yesterday was a pretty purple scarf. Today, while my hair was in a bun, I decided I could tie it in a turban style. One thing led to another, and I brought out another scarf of mine. I tied that in a turban, then added the purple scarf into the style. After that, I thought it would be fun to curl some little pieces of hair to frame my face and make the style look like portraits and fashion plates of the early 1800's. Then, it was an easy step to convince myself that I needed to put on a dress and take some pictures. Many thanks to my brother, who took some really fantastic shots!

American Duchess- The Story of Another Giveaway

So, I was planning on posting a picture for the American Duchess gift card giveaway. However, with limited time and no preexisting photos of me in costume around Christmastime, I just couldn't get it to happen. However, when I saw with the advent calendar she has up that she's giving away the Season 1 DVD of Upstairs Downstairs, I thought I should notify all my readers, and try to get it, too!

Without further ado, here are some pretty pictures!
