Historic Heroine

I may have gone slightly overboard with recent book purchases 😅

I am going to need to reorganize my bookshelves soon to try and make room for things!

Working on a blackberry themed Regency outfit but it's a work dress so instead of a reticule I made a pin cushion to hang from my apron! Those are all black headed pins. I spent about an hour putting pins in this thing last night!

The speakeasy themed New Year's party I went to was a great excuse to pull out one if the many 1920s dresses I have in my closet!

Happy New Year an may everyone's 2024 be better than 2023 was!

Attempting some goldwork techniques for the first time. Do I need a lot of practice? Yes. But I am still really pleased with how this looks for a first attempt!

Hopefully more pictures to come, but and I looked super cute at today! We finally got to wear our Marion and Jester Lavorre costumes over three years after we originally intended to.

Played a TTRPG set in the 1920s the other day so naturally I had to dress up even if it was just for a virtual game.

For the record, getting butt length hair to look at all 1920s is a challenge!

I was basically required to buy this hat by at the little vendor fair at the tea this weekend. Pretty green with multiple kinds of fruit? It's like it was made for me!

For the picnic at I finally got the accessories together for my orange themed outfit!

I also made this cute spencer for one of my events this weekend but forgot to post! So excited for the upcoming tea, ball, and picnic with

Finished decorating my new bonnet to go with my orange dress! Just need to finish my reticule and I will be ready for the picnic next weekend!

Learning how to make dorset k**b buttons! The technique is actually quite simple though it's taking some practice to get the stitches even.

Had a lovely time at the with the yesterday! Saw some old friends and made some new ones. Hope to see everyone at our tea, ball, and picnic next month too! If you see yourself or someone you know in these pictures please comment so I can tag you!

Finally had a chance to wear this gown at the Baroque Revelry event at Victorian Belle Events + Weddings over the weekend. Had a really great time in spite of the heat!

Stopped for burgers on the way to the Jane Austen Faire.

Debuted my fruit basket hat from at the Jane Austen Faire in Aurora Oregon today. Shawl from and pineapple reticule from

I am ready for . Is IKEA ready for me?

If note, my necklace is a portrait miniature of the poster used in the promo images for this duvet. I thought it was the perfect touch.

I am now the proud owner of the most ridiculous fruit basket bonnet from Looking forward to wearing it with all my fruit outfits!

I just commissioned this amazing hat from Shocking Bad Hats. Really looking forward to wearing it with my fruit themed regency looks! 🍓🍑🍍🍋🫐🍇

Just realized I forgot to post these pictures! I made a new red figured silk tunic and got some new green jewelry and a fan to give my regency strawberry outfit a new look without making a whole new outfit!

Just finished my first Regency outfit which was inspired by strawberries!
