Decorating a Tree

        We just finished our Thanksgiving weekend open house at the winery, and Allie and I made some homemade ornaments to decorate a little fir tree that needed to be cut down anyway (it was growing on the dam to our pond).  We set it up in the winery and it looked beautiful and smelled great.  It was a lovely addition to the holiday atmosphere.

Our Decorated Winery

This morning I saw some very lucky turkeys foraging for acorns under the oak trees by our Maypole.  I’m sure they are glad Thanksgiving is over!



Picnic Bonnet Pictures

On Sunday we had some friends over for a Regency Picnic.  I had fun making gowns and bonnets.  Here are a couple of my favorites.  They include my placemat bonnets, both poke and stovetop, and a stovetop bonnet make entirely of buckram.

 We had a great time practicing archery and rowing on the lake.  I can't wait until our next Regency event!
