Panning for gold……we didn't find any…boo hoo! That’s not me….it’s our lovely niece who is visiting us from Czech.
Love the horses and the carriage. Look at the old buildings….
Of course we had to stop for lunch and yummy it was….Potato and Leek soup and Bacon and Tomato Fettuccini.
Washed down with a coffee of course.
Look at these gorgeous dresses….just beautiful!
This is what the women used to wear under their dresses to make them stay out …..glad we don't have to wear them anymore.
These baby jackets were over 100 years old!!
More doilies and trinket boxes. So pretty!!
Of course there was a quilt or two…..so pretty with chenille and ribbon embroidery on it.
These quilts were hanging in the Gold Museum
as was this lovely embroidered box.
So that’s it for Sovereign Hill from me. I enjoyed it and if you go to it then I hope that you enjoy it all too.
Hugs to All….
Just lovely - I dont remember any quilts and old doileys etc when I was there, but they are sure in the right setting.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your blog, Vicki - I loved reading about your trip to Sovereign Hill. Hugs from Donna in Brisbane.
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed your post....and I am so glad that we no longer have to wear those hoops...sheweeee
ReplyDeleteMore wonderful photos of the past!
ReplyDeleteTalking of holding dresses out, I remember passing a very important external school exam and as a 'you did well gift' my aunt gave me one of those stiff petticoats that were worn under full skirts! They were more wearable than hoops.
