Some months ago, I was all excited to make a costume for Jane Austen's 200th birthday party, which my friend was hosting. Sadly, I didn't make it or the costume, due to this busy cottage life. However, today is a different story. I'm thrilled to be off on another adventure to a little country town called Harvey here in the Southwest of Australia, for another Historic event. I'll be borrowing an outfit for the day and will definitely be filming this for the YT channel so I can show you all. Below is a little pic of the Jane Austen Event and a little drawing made by the event hostess of a parlour maid party she held at Christmas. See you on the other side!
