Last post, I shared information about constructing a small new Regency accessory: a ribbon belt with a bow at the front. I had the great fortune of wearing it with an ensemble to visit the early 19th century Barrett House in New Ipswich, New Hampshire. In this post, I’m going to share additional photos from my visit!
Barrett House has a lovely ballroom on the upper floor with windows on three sides which overlook the scenic hills around the house. This proved to be a wonderful place for photos.
Today, the ballroom also houses a collection of musical instruments of the type that the Barrett family would have had available to them.
The grounds around the house are just as lovely as the interior! There is a small rise directly behind the house with a picturesque tree-lined path leading to the top.
The day of my visit the sun was starting to sink and the light filtering through the trees presented a magical moment of drifting brilliants and joyful smiles.
I had fun scampering up the path and then running back down!
Modern sunglasses completed the look!
What fun! A beautiful way to spend a late-summer afternoon! I hope you enjoyed the adventure, as well.
