Welbourne 1864: Friday Breakfast


Above: Gaye and Nancy in their wrappers and day caps.

Friday morning of the event at Welbourne Plantation was started with a formal breakfast in the dining room. Breakfast at Welbourne is always a treat! The food prepared by the kitchen staff is absolutely delicious and conversation with friends is delightful.

Here are a few pictures from Friday morning's breakfast.


Cheyney awoke at 5am to start preparations for the day's meals! Her meals were sooo delicious! She is such a pleasure to reenact with - in character and out her humor makes my sides hurt with laughter.


Lovely ladies waiting for breakfast to be prepared.



Anita wearing her Beth Miller sheer dress. I love this picture of her in the sitting room!






Carol and Cheyney.

Carol's dressmaking skills were needed to fix Anita's dress.

  1. Lovely pictures! Wish I had an event like this. :) I don't often have the chance to wear my 1860s clothing any more.
