Pride and Prejudice Doll Party

Strolling in the garden, shopping at the General Store, and having tea on the patio...

My Aunt K'Lynn started a marvelous tradition many years ago--a Doll Party--designed to teach our daughters homemaking skills, etiquette, and often a glimpse of history . Months in advance we are sewing dresses and making crafts to sell at the General Store. The girls end up spending a full day as if they lived in a different time period and country. From getting hair done in the morning to learning how to cook scones for lunch to having a charming dance in the evening, our little women collapse exhausted at the end and wondering when we're going to do it again.

That is seriously too cool! Can I come next time? Where did she come up with the idea to do that? The first picture of Ryan is priceless! And looks like an old photograph taken from Pride and Prejudice. Love it!

What a fun tradition! I've got to get you pass along the tight curls in the hair technique...trying for goldilocks for halloween.

Love the idea of the pride and prejudice day. Since I have boys, maybe I should start a "jack bunyon" day tradition ;)
