Continuing on with my photoshoot at Clachanburn Gardens posts, I now bring you some of the photos of the Ball Dress variation. Unfortunately we were starting to lose the light so didn't end up with as many as I would have liked (I never seem to get many photos of my ball dresses...) Regardless, here… Continue reading Blueberry Dress Photoshoot: Ball Dress Edition

Blueberry Dress Photoshoot: Day Edition
A year ago I visited Clachanburn Gardens to photograph my Blueberry Dress and, for some reason, I never actually posted the photos here on my blog. I know, slack, right? Well, it's time to remedy that and share them with you now. Better late than never, after all 😉 Clachanburn Gardens are in the Maniototo,… Continue reading Blueberry Dress Photoshoot: Day Edition

I also didn't take any photos of Mum wearing the Plum Ensemble that I made for her 😫 So... what's… Continue reading Heritage Celebrations with a Twist Part I
Oamaru 2016 Part 1
Wednesday My flight landed a few minutes late and, as always, it took some time to depart the plane and collect my suitcase. I kept an eye out for Liane, in case she had already collected hers from her flight and had wandered down, but my suitcase arrived first. Knowing the airport almost as well… Continue reading Oamaru 2016 Part 1

This beautiful city holds the Victorian Heritage Celebrations every year in November and I have been attending for nearly 10 years. Not only is it the biggest and best historical costuming… Continue reading The City of White Stone
