That’s so hard to believe that that is a greenhouse! Beautiful! Also, I adore the couple that are holding hands in almost all the group shots!

We had some newlyweds and some newly-edgaged with us. They were so cute!

I am so jealous of that one man surrounded by all of those beautiful ladies!

The great secret of historical costuming is that it is like 90% women - we would love more fellas to socialize with!

I wasn't able to join yesterday, but I'm so happy to attend retroactively through this video! Longwood is so beautiful. It's easily one of my favorite places to go in the spring or for a costume photoshoot!

Thank you! It felt very dreamy to be there. I wish I could have captured the hum of bees and trickling water that was the constant soundtrack!

I love the early 1800s gowns, and the early 1900s gowns. I'm weirdly specific. 😭 My grandpa gave me a Sears Roebuck catalogue book from 1908 several years ago and I love it. The gowns are beautiful.

Lovely video. I can imagine that visitors unaware of your groep, must have had a moment where they wondered if they were time travelling. You all looked so at home in the place! You looked as if you were one of the actors in 'Howard's End'. Lovely.

Aiyeeeeek! I can't with the fabulousness! I'm trying to think of where in the Bay Area we have anything as beautiful. Maaaaaybe Golden Gate park? Although that was no green house! It was a green PALACE! 😲 Thank you, for sharing your adventures! So happy for your channel!

That was lovely! I have to see if my area has anything like that. And people to dress up with.

How lovely! I hope you don't mind if I sort of follow your idea of videoing your Edwardian adventures. I'd love to make our group's activities into little films. You did a great job of filming, music and editing! And of course you look adorable. :0)
