..Here is the finished product! Emily, Madison and I all dolled up .. 1800's style!
These 2 homes were built in the 1860's in Columbus, MS.
This garden was put in (including massive amounts of brick) by a woman who was a master gardener... and she had 7 (YES - I TYPED THAT RIGHT!!)..she had 7 children!
There were all kinds of garden structurs that left me breathless!
One of the historical homes actually had a church behind the house in the gardens!
Madison and I playing Hop Scotch!
We already made plans to do this again next year.
I know that this was not specifically about riding sidesaddle.. but since it was in the historic time frame.. and I used one of my sidesaddle habits, I thought you would enjoying seeing it!
Edited to add:
Here is a great You Tube Video explaining how to properly sit in a hoop skirt!

Hey, I went to school in Columbus! (Mississippi School for Math and Science) :) Did you do Tales from the Crypt at Friendship Cemetery?
Very fun to see the pics! You guys looked great!
Analise, No we did not do Tales from the Crypt. I hope next year she will be able to come down a little longer for the event so she can take a tour and not just volunteer with us.
