I am so glad you had a wonderful time and am so impressed your father not only brought you but also seemed to enjoy it as well!<br /><br />The 6th annual will be July 20 & 21, 2013 and will celebrate the 200th Anniversary of Pride & Prejudice. We also will have a Regency Promenade and WILL break the Guinness Book World Record number of people in Regency attire. <br />Watch our website for updated information: www.jasnalouisville.com<br /><br />Bonny Wise, Regional Coordinator<br />Greater Louisville Region<br />Jane Austen SocietyBonny Wisehttp://www.jasnalouisville.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5490346761566035007.post-59469648538183704982012-08-01T11:36:28.383-04:002012-08-01T11:36:28.383-04:00Greetings madam!

I am the Doctor (hmsacasta.blogspot.com) in the green waistcoat and the young lady in the red spencer is Miss Waterman, whose journal can be found at : missemilywaterman.blogspot.com<br /><br />I have been to nearly every one of these events, and I must confess that by far, this past festival was the best of the lot! I am gratified that you enjoyed my little program on fencing.HMSAcasta.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00524563116891936222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5490346761566035007.post-26393364683304946292012-08-01T09:09:00.379-04:002012-08-01T09:09:00.379-04:00Wow, that sounds so lovely!

And all the interesting posts we still have to look forward to on your blog, very nice!<br /><br />Unfortunately, I've never been to this kind of an event, though I would dearly like to. But they are not very frequent here in The Netherlands. I did have the luck to have been to Bath, were you can find the Jane Austen center with shop, which also gives some of the experiences you describe. But as it's a museum, there are no interesting lectures or fashion shows....birdienlhttp://birdienl.livejournal.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5490346761566035007.post-53187597810155500482012-07-28T10:22:51.350-04:002012-07-28T10:22:51.350-04:00This is like stepping back into the past and the R...This is like stepping back into the past and the Regency Era!

I, too, loved the image of the ladies having a picnic under the tree - their dresses and hats were all so lovely. <br /><br />I have never been to an event like this - you are so blessed to have such a devoted daddy as you do - who enjoys such things with you! <br /><br />Thank you for sharing - it was such fun to see it all through your pictures!Net - "It's a Wonderful Movie"https://www.blogger.com/profile/01680194388277190995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5490346761566035007.post-86677022786888969022012-07-26T23:33:31.971-04:002012-07-26T23:33:31.971-04:00I'll comment as I read through the post. :)

Now I'm turning bright green with envy!!! One of my dreams is to be able to competently ride side saddle one day, in Regency costume! Those riding habits are STUNNING!!!!!!!!

Out of the pictures you took, my favorite costumes are the red spenser, the red evening dress, and the dark green riding habit.<br /><br />I definitely would be interested in the fashion show and the shops. <br /><br />I hope next year I could go.

I have been to the Festival in Bath, but I really want to go to the one at Locus Grove. The market looks so much better then the one in Bath, and I love the idea of being able to try archery, and the location is stunning. Don't get me wrong Bath is amazing and I love it, but it being spread across a big city makes it less magical then the one at Locus Grove looks from the photos. :) <br /><br />I'm looking forward to your next posts on Festival. :)Issyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06278824338996926960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5490346761566035007.post-75737973106154514902012-07-26T10:24:52.896-04:002012-07-26T10:24:52.896-04:00Wonderful post...I truly enjoyed seeing all of the...Wonderful post...I truly enjoyed seeing all of the photos and reading about your day there at the festival. I've never been to a JA festival, but would certainly like to go one day.<br /><br />Uh...so you like the color blue do ya? :) Your blouse and new fan are so pretty...love your 'addict' necklace too.<br /><br />My favorite part is seeing the photos of the people in costume casually standing (or sitting) on the grounds...you're right, it looks like a scene from a movie.AJnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5490346761566035007.post-45830931097548479112012-07-26T01:42:49.867-04:002012-07-26T01:42:49.867-04:00Hi Laurie!

Some friends of mine went though. And the woman in the red spencer, and her friend "The Doctor" are people I've met. They are friends of friends (the ones who went, in fact!). The doctor spoke to my JASNA group this past fall. He's very interesting and funny.Mariahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14291507443023462966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5490346761566035007.post-90276166203399987972012-07-25T14:49:42.281-04:002012-07-25T14:49:42.281-04:00It was a lovely day and a lot of fun, not to menti...It <i>was</i> a lovely day and a lot of fun, not to mention the good company :) I enjoyed the fact that people of all ages were in costume and many also in character for the day. I think I met Mrs. Jennings inside the house, and I'm sure there were two or three Miss Bates! The Navy was definitely under represented, so I'm planning to scare up a costume myself an give them a gouty old admiral to laugh at, with nothing but a dab of powder on top and a few wisps of white hair, not to mention skin the color or a macaroon!Old-Fashioned Fatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00089564115655324796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5490346761566035007.post-46402025203395102322012-07-25T14:26:41.113-04:002012-07-25T14:26:41.113-04:00Oh how exciting!
