A Regency gaming night!
Jul. 19th, 2011 09:37 pmAs always, I'm a little late posting about it (and am cross-posting from the blog), but Jenny-Rose's Regency gaming night was rather wonderful! It was particularly nice to finally meet ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

Although tables were set up for several different games I ended up only playing Speculation, and game which relies heavily on bidding and gambling for any true entertainment... something all of us who played it seemed far too lazy to engage in!
The company was delightful, the rooms prettily decorated, and good times were had by all!
Before the gaming commenced, we all milled around the back-yard taking pictures of each other. I didn't get any of myself with my camera, but plenty of others did, and I have happily stolen the ones that I like best.
I wore my old(ish) 1820 silk evening gown, though with new jewelry and a plume in my hair.
A selection of my pictures of the evening's company-
After the card playing had died down for the evening we just sat around chatting and snacking and drinking Good Things. At one point, I pulled out my trusty drawing box, and did a quick sketch of Taylor as she sat across the table from me, lit by candlelight only.
