As the calendar has officially turned over to spring, I am in full planning mode. Usually, I am planning as the new year begins. But, this year is what is is, has been what it has been, and will be what shall be. Onward.
As you have likely seen, I put out two surveys for planning. One looks at long term writing projects while the other looks at workshop possibilities. Your responses to these surveys are a huge help in planning for those two areas. Thank you.
Events
I plan to be at the following events at GCVM:
• Opening Day of the 2022 Season (May 7) and/or Mother’s Day (May 8 ) I will either bring a new pockets interpretation or the kerchief doll dress, tbd.
• Antique Show Sale (May 28) Tools of the Trade
• Independence Day Celebration (July 4) Picnicking
• Celebrating Chocolate Weekend (July 16 & 17) Bonbon dolls
• Civil War Living History Weekend (July 23 & 24) Women’s Employments – Millinery
• A Novel Weekend (August 6 & 7) tbd
• Agricultural Fair (October 1 & 2) Visiting
• Domestic Skills Symposium (November 5 & 6) Workshop
• Preparing for Winter (November 19 & 20) 19th century winter attire or winter hoods
• Holiday Open House (December 18) Victorian Fancy Work Gifts.
Additional events are to be determined. I did have another museum ask me about doing programs for them. I will let you know if that comes together.
