Now, as I mentioned in my previous post, Wednesday night was the Proclamation Day celebration at Newstead House. After dressing at work and squeezing into a Taxi, Bec and I made our way over to meet up with Erin and her family. We took a bunch of photos and received a lot of compliments for our outfits. Then we were alowed inside the house, and I have to say WOW. What a stunningly beautiful home, and best of all the let us into the roped off sections for some photos with a professional photographer.
Overall I had a great time. The weather was beautiful with a nice cool breeze (great when you are wearing a heap of layers). I am really looking forward to our next events. And I am really happy with how my outfit turned out. I even got a compliment from the daughter of a milliner about my bonnet. A huge compliment, but I wouldn't want her to look too closely. I am looking forward to going again next year. And it was fabulous to have a christmassy outfit to go along with it.
WOW Mel - you all looked fantastic!!! I am so happy you had a great time.
ReplyDeleteYour photos turned out so well - you two could have stepped out of a Dickens Christmas Card, or perhaps you should be one of those Arnott's Biscuit Tin illustrations....esp the one of you peeking through the window for Santa....
ReplyDeleteI look so plain and drab against you both - mental note - making bigger sleeves...
I see ankle p*rn! Great photos of some fabulous costumers!
