Sunday May 5th was the 5th annual Victorian Tea @ the wappingers falls historical society, Mesier Homestead. What a divine day! Weather cooperated and all the ladies came dressed in their finest and looked absolutely gorgeous! Thanks to all of my friends who came out to join in the fun!

Please consider visiting the Homestead which dates back to 1741. The current exhibit "Dutchess Bleachery Exhibit"---traces the time-line of how a small village played such a significant role in textile history. The homestead/museum displays several examples of cloth,textiles,quilts,sewing notions, and historical fashion of a bygone era. In the gift shop you will find many of my handmade items reflecting the era of the home--from tea mats to tea cup pincushions, to quilted wall hangings and shadow box art, you are sure to find a special treasure for yourself or a unique gift for that special someone! Join us at the homestead to re-live history, and ensure its preservation for the future!
