Well, here are a few pictures finally from the Philadelphia AGM – too many shots from far away, too many with not enough light, too many with too much movement – but I hope they will at least convey some of the fun had by all!

A few shots at Winterthur [I was amazed that you were allowed to take photographs! – but I bought the guidebook anyway…]]

The dining room at Winterthur

 

 

The winding stairwell at Winterthur

 

My buddy and great birder Sara in the Winterthur conservatory,
with an eagle…

 

A lovely harp at Winterthur [no Mary Crawford in sight!]

 

Martha Washington’s very own mirror

  

And now on to the first evening…

The lovely Elizabeth Garvie [a.k.a. Elizabeth Bennet] reading from Austen’s “The Three Sisters” [and way too far way…]

 

A runway full of Lisa Brown’s “Dressing Mr. Darcy” very accommodating models:

William Phillips of Chicago

Ray Skelly of Valley Forge, PA

 

’tis a lady, methinks! Karen Noske of Rochester NY

The pack of Regency gentlemen and soldiers…

 

The handsome fellows, William Phillips and Jeff Nigro 

 

Some fashionistas and the Regency Ball Promenade ~

The always beautifully adorned Baronda Bradley in her day dress…

 

 our very own Lorraine and William Hanaway
[though we have to share them with Pennsylvania…]

And lovely Baronda again, this year with her Regency Beau!

Two couples who come to our Vermont gatherings ~
kudos to them for the fabulous fashions!

 

The Promenade returning for the Ball

Capt. Michael Green, Lorna Green, and Nick Wells [as General Tilney! yikes! I disinvited him to the party!] – all from the London, Ontario Chapter

The Jane Austen Books family!
Greg holding Colin, Amy, Jennifer, Beth & Adam

and finally, the cutest Darcy of all…

Colin Frederick Patterson!

Thank you one and all for making this another
such memorable Jane Austen event!
