I can remember being 12 years old when I heard rumblings about an upcoming wedding of the year, decade, and century. I was the only one in my household to set an alarm and arise at 2 am on July 29, 1981, to view the marriage of Prince Charles to Lady Diana Spencer. It was unlike anything I had ever seen before. I sat transfixed as a carriage came into view holding a beautiful Princess Bride. Royal Wedding Wednesday The Redux. Royal Wedding Wednesday The Redux Like so many other young girls ... View the Post
W. /E.
It’s no secret that I am a bit wacko for all things royal. Back in early 2011 when I hit the “publish” button on the very first Royal Wedding Wednesdays post I wondered if it would be met with chirping crickets.

Dickens Fashions for Christmas Faires
I recently typed in a search engine question "How many A Christmas Carol movies are there?" The earliest surviving screen adaptation, Scrooge, or, Marley's Ghost, was made in 1901. There are 19 big screen adaptions and many more productions have been done for tv and the theater. This leads me to believe that many of us can somewhat relate to the selfish miser who hates Christmas but in the end, is beautifully redeemed. This I believe has led to numerous events being held all over the world ... View the Post
Create A Dickens Christmas
Every year I create a new Christmas theme. This year I decided to try and Create A Dickens Christmas. For the past year, I have been researching the Christmas customs and traditions of the Dickens Christmas Era.
