I am super belated in posting about this event, but the one benefit of being so slow is that we’ve come full circle back to the appropriate season for these photos! I hope you enjoy recalling this lovely walk with me.
In June of 2024, I attended a 1920s themed Gala Day celebration at the Rebecca Nurse Homestead in Danvers, MA. (More about Gala Day can be read here, on the Rebecca Nurse Homestead site.) It was a beautiful day with sun and blue skies. Not hot, but pleasantly comfortable. And windy!
Hang on to your hats!
One of the parts of the event I enjoyed most was exploring the grounds, which afforded a number of lovely vistas for photos.
I wore my 1919 Ivory Dress, due to its incredibly comfortable nature and a 1920s wide brim hat that I made back in 2014.
And I had a bright pink paper parasol as an accessory! I love the pop of color against the blue and green enveloping swathe of nature.
I also enjoyed looking at the details of the cars on display. The paint choices for this one, with the grass green wheels, really caught my eye!
All that was left was to imagine was rolling away in a car like this. What fun!
