Vintage Teatime ~ Personal Project

A couple months ago, I went with some ladies to Sweet Shalom Tea Room in Sylvania, Ohio. The yellow house, inside and out, was darling! The "theme" for that month was Sherlock Holmes, and so the ladies who went with me all dressed in Victorian-era clothing. With the vintage room surrounding us, sipping hot tea from flowered teacups, and being served by apron-clad hostesses, it truly felt like we had been transported to the late 1800s. We were able to taste a bunch of varieties of tea, all of them delicious. The dainty food served was yummy as well!

So here is a glimpse of a Victorian tea-time. Enjoy!










Schoolteacher ~ Personal Project

Frontier schoolteacher, alone in the wild.
Teacher of arithmetic and grammar and everything under the pale sun.
Children call her strict; the fierce country calls her brave.




Many thanks to my dear friend Jeannette who was up for an impromptu shoot in the cold!
