Jane Austen at Seabrook Island

Hello my dear blogland buddies! It is good to be back after something of a long absence. I will get into the reasons behind my absence in a future post but for now I want to share some of the events that have taken place over the past few weeks:).

Last Saturday I was honored to perform as Jane Austen for the JASNA-SC group at Seabrook Island.

A luncheon was served commemorating the 15th anniversary of the group.
Upon arriving at the clubhouse a beautiful beach front view beneath sunny skies greeted us.
We ascended the grand staircase in style.
Here I am as Jane Austen just before the performance.
My dear friend Christine made the dress:).

After a delicious lunch of grilled salmon with chocolate pecan pie for dessert I began my portrayal of Jane Austen.

Many of the ladies were dressed in Regency period attire.

Robin, me, and Libby on the staircase.

Jane Austen wrote often of the beach so it was only proper that I should be photographed with the beach in the background:).

Libby in profile as a lovely Regency lady.

Robin and Libby join in on the beauty of the day.

To top off a lovely day of friendship and talk of Jane, I won the door prize!!! The basket was filled with goodies like a bookbag from the recent Jane Austen anuual meeting in Philadelphia, a Regency style headdress, Jane Austen magazines, and a beautiful book on Wedgewood china. It was a blessed day!

I plan on visiting all of my blogland buddies throughout the week and catch up on all of your wonderful posts. I have missed you all greatly and will explain my recent absenteeism from blogland further on Monday's post. Until then all I will say regarding my absence is that it was 'a conspiracy':).

Come back Monday to find out more!
