Don't we look like we just stepped out of a Jane Austen Novel? Well, there's a reason for that...Our friends Ken and Melanie Coble invited us to attend an event in Pasadena called, "A Jane Austen Evening". It's held every year and is always sold out. Everything is authentic, the food, the costumes, the dancing!! Yes dancing! Regency Dance is the official term and it's just what you see in the movies. It's not difficult, but it is! Anyway, of course we made and wore costumes , had High Tea (all recipes were authentic from The Jane Austen Cookbook and very declicious), danced to a live quartet and had a grand time!We stepped back in time for a little while and we highly recommend it!
The two couples in all their finery for a grand evening!
The ladies pose for a portrait and dancers showing off their skills!
Scott and Ken discuss very pressing matters and Ken takes some libertys with his wife!! Shocking!

How fun! The Jane Austin Club never looked so good.
The new addition is so sweet. She looks like she has been in the family forever. Can't wait to see her...oh, and you guys.
This sounds like such a blast! Did you make the costumes? They are amazing! You all look very charming.
I attended the Jane Austen Evening and it was wonderful. I really enjoyed the dancing and the beautiful costumes. Your pictures look great.
