Meeting a friend for the first time!
It's amazing that through this blog, it's connecting so many who are of like-mind. As we all engaged in fellowship, I had a delightful time hearing the different stories of everyday life...we had many laughs!

After a few hours, we packed up our picnic and carpooled through the small town to a local Wildlife preserve and rescue center.

"And all of this world, is for children who play
Days that never end always should remain
Another perfect day"
--'Perfect Day' lyrics from the Tales of Beatrix Potter
The simplicity of the picnic made the day so memorable. Nothing was structurally planned, which allowed for sweet fellowship & getting to know each other better. I'm so thankful for all the families who attended and made it special!

you need to write a big beautiful coffee table book....your words and photo's are just beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!smiles, Linda
Yes it seems you all had a lovely time and I wish I could have been there! Maybe some day! :) I love seeing all the edwardian clothing, I have always wanted to sew up edwardian clothing someday. RIght now colonial, civil war, and regency are in my closet and all over my room. With recreating three different periods with our living history its hard to add any more. But do wear my edwardian walking skirt quite often. I really would love to sew up a vest and blouse to go with it that is also the period. Maybe this winter?!
I love it Mia and again yes I would love to meet you someday. Lord willing we will be able to do a living history event or maybe just get together someday. God bless!
In Christ,
Rebecca
my dear Mia, After seeing the photo make me feel sad I missed it. I wanted so much to come and meet your family and friends. It would have been a long trip and I would have to find sleep over arrangement. I will definitely attend next year, if God permits.Take dear lady and enjoy the rest of the Fall!

Our family had really wanted to attend but we had a wedding we were helping with that day. I hope we can meet up again soon. Looks like you all had a wonderful day.

It's like you live in a different world!! I want to move there now...I love how everyone dresses so appropriately for the picnic. Now adays...oh me oh my...women and men just don't know how to dress modestly. Anyway, Love you! And Love that you can share this part of your life with the 21st Century. You are an inspiration to all us wannabe's...
The picnic looked like so much fun!
I really like the old fashionedness of it :)

Hey Mia!
I e-mailed some pictures and I didn't know if you got the e-mail. You can post the pictures if you want! :)
Um sorry...I posted the above comment...oriana :)
Hi Mia- your pictures are so beautiful and the picnic looks so lovely. My husband just saw a photo of all the men looking so smart and said he would like to dress smarter like that more often- and that he wanted to get some smart shoes- amazing!-you have just done with one photo what I have been trying to do for years!! Thanks you! ;0) xx
It looks lovely, Mia! :-)
And I'm pleasantly surprised to see someone else actually knows that song!
Looks like you had a fantastic time, Mia! To bad we live so far away. I would've LOVED to be there!
Hey Mia,
Oriana again...I was wondering if you could post some of the pics I sent....I don't have a blog so I can't really share them with others!
Oriana:)
Everything looks perfect, Mia. I love how you served everything on real china instead of paper plates--beautiful and environmentally friendly! You are such an inspiration to me!
What a delightful and very special occasion :o)
