I Scream, You Scream, We All Scream for...

John Deere?

Look closer, it isn't a small tractor, it's an ice cream machine!

Today Mr. Keith debuted the best homemade ice cream ever made!

Millie enjoyed a bowl of this creamy Vanilla delicacy which was the perfect compliment to the sweltering afternoon heat at the Farmer's Market.

While several of us indulged in the frosty ice cream treat Miss Abigail modeled her new dresses for us.

She definately exudes the elegance of a young Victorian lady:).

Don't worry if you missed the Farmer's Market this week-

the fun, food, and friendship will happen again next Tuesday at Pick Pocket Plantation from 2:00-7:00.

Victorian Ladies Society of Beaufort

Step back in time as you meander down the dirt drive of Pick Pocket Plantation

with this mid-19th century Victorian farmhouse looming before you.

 The Victorian era was named for the reigning Queen Victoria and encompassed a time of splender, beauty, graciousness, and dignity.

If you marvel at the simple beauty of stained glass,

 the velvety petals of a rose,

 the mystery behind antique photos,

 or the intracacies of carved cameos

 then the Victorian Ladies Society of Beaufort is the place for you.

 We will meet the second Saturday of each month at Pick Pocket Plantation for tea...

 and conversation with others who share a love of times gone by.

 Join us on the second Saturday of September at 9:00 AM at Pick Pocket Plantation

for the first meeting of this history loving group of ladies.

 A presentation will take place at each meeting about a different aspect of Victorian life ranging from fashion to jewelry, architecture, mourning practices, and other fascinating areas.

Future activities include day trips to historic mansions in surrounding areas, visits to teahouses, a Victorian literature book club, and special Victorian events held at Pick Pocket Plantation.

Bodice to Bloomers

Millie and I hosted a lovely group of women today at Pick Pocket Plantation for the

Bodice to Bloomers presentation which shows how a mid 19th century lady  dressed from the inside out.

One guest participated by helping to straighten my petticoat.

Ladies were also shown the language of the fan.

They learned very quickly:).

After the presentation guests enjoyed a tour through the plantation house finishing the afternoon with dessert and tea in the dining room.

Lunch at Pick Pocket Plantation

Today, beneath sunny blue skies, a luncheon was held at Pick Pocket Plantation.

Mr. Keith parked some of his vintage cars outside the masion for all to enjoy.

Lunch was provided by the Red Rooster Cafe

Lunch fare consisted of Chicken salad, Tuna salad, and Egg salad sandwiches with pasta salad.

Brownies for dessert and sweet tea made lunch complete.

Millie and I took guests through the house sharing its extensive history.

After touring the house, guests were able to enjoy an afternoon stroll through the Plantation grounds.

Thanks for joining us!
