New Duds
Yesterday was the first day of the new guiding season for the historic houses operated by the Lexington Historical Society, and Marilyn and I were resplendent in our new outfits, if I do say so myself.(You can click on the photo for a larger version).
Marilyn is wearing a new day dress and petticoat made by Anita Bausk, a seamstress in Marloboro who specializes in reproduction colonial clothes. She also made the new wool coat I am wearing. The shoes are new too--they are straight lasted, meaning that they are both the same--there is no difference between the left and thee right. My favorite new touch is the walking stick with decorative fish on the end,an eight dollar purchase!
Marilyn and I can be found on most Saturday mornings (except for the next two) at Buckman Tavern,adjacent to the Lexington Green, touring people through the building where the colonial militia met the night before the Battle of Lexington. Come see us!
We were both a bit rusty, but got into the swing of things by the end of the day. As we left Buckman Tavern in the afternoon, we were accosted by a group of tourists from Shanghai and posed for pictures with each and every one of them. All in a day in historic Lexington!
