Greetings! My name is Jenni, I'm a wife, mother (of a 4 year old girl named Jane), art teacher, and amateur seamstress/costumer. I've been a Jane Austen Fan for about 15 or 16 years. I've liked Byron and Keats for nearly as long. But over the past couple of years I have fallen in love with Regency era fashion (I've been a member of the Sense and Sensibility Forum for some time now.) I'm a member of a local "Jane Austen Sewing Society", where we get together to research, discuss, and sew period costumes...usually over a cup of tea and plate of goodies. Occasionally we will have picnics or outings to local historic sites in costume, and I personally love to try out old 18th and 19th century recipes for these picnics. I have also recently co-founded a group called the "Bluegrass Regency Society" in hopes of soon becoming members of the RSA. I've been meaning to wonder onto this board for some time now...why didn't I do it sooner? Here's a link to my blog: www.livingwithjane.blogspot.comAnd here's the Blog to out Regency Society: www.bluegrassregencysoc.blogspot.comThank you for letting me join your little community. I am looking forward to getting to know you better. Warmly, Jenni

Salutations madam! While I do not think we have been formally introduced, I believe that I met your husband and his friend while playing cards in the Hellfire Club July last at Locust Grove. Welcome! Attachments:

You are correct, Sir! Perhaps this July I will have the pleasure of being formally introduced to you. My husband and I will both be in attendance at Locust Grove on Saturday and Sunday of that month.

Hi Jenni Welcome it's nice to see you here! i've actually read some of your blog, and i believe you know my friend stephanie cote. i really admire your green regency dress where ever did you find that fabric? Hello Bennettgirl! Thank you for the compliment. I bought that fabric a couple of years ago at the 2nd annual Jane Austen Festival of Louisville. I purchased it from a lovely couple, Mr. and Mrs. Walt and Jan Dubbeld of Regency Revisited. Here's their website: regencyrevisited.com/index.php Every time I happen upon their shop, I have to chide myself for coveting their goods! And, you know, the name Stephanie Cote isn't ringing a bell off of the top of my head, but, alas, I'm a visual person. Names don't stick with me, but faces do. I'm sure I would recognize her image if I saw it. Where should I know her from?

Yes, I do believe I know who you are talking about now....Does she go by the name of "Bazookababy" on the S&S forum. It is funny how I know screen names better than given ones.
