And We’re Back!

We’re back! After a long day of traveling that started with a four-hour night drive through Swedish forests and ending with the Lufthansa 747 touching down in LA, it was a long day and we’re glad to be home.  🙂

We’re still sorting out all the pictures so stay tuned for more posts in the next few days!

By Lake Vattern…

Enjoying the last day of our Swedish Summer holiday in the Victorian resort in Hjo, on the shores of Lake Vattern. LA is so very far away!

Taking A Spin In Sweden…

Today’s activities included a carriage ride, walks in the park, and several twirls back to our villa…how does this suit keep it’s shape? Hem facings and weights, sleeve frames and inner ruffles, and several petticoats. Of course, the breezes off the lake help!

NOTE: The video actually plays with the correct side up.

Embracing Your Inner 1890s…

The late 1890s isn’t really a time period that embraces my love of pleating, but I found some ways to sneak some in!
