Happy Thanksgiving!

It's been a very busy season for me, which I love, but I had to battle some health issues as well. On the mend now and looking forward to Thanksgiving and 2 hectic months ahead! I have more Jane Austen presentations this month and in December, so I'll be traveling like crazy.

My social media channels have been quieter than usual because of my schedule, but I plan to resume Instagram, Facebook, Tik Tok, and YouTube after the New Year. Please stay tuned!

Please see below for my upcoming schedule, and let me know if you have any suggestions for new topics. I just booked my first presentation of Boho to Disco: The 1970s, so you may want to consider that topic for future events, as I have been collecting more '70s pieces. It will be a fun one!

The pictures below are from my Bewitched Presentations and Halloween night at our good friends' Which Way Tavern, Simonsville, VT!
