Living like Felicty...

Living a spirited independent life in Colonial America...





Felicity and other girls and women of her time took the time to prepare and cook homemade foods.  Today we prepared homemade applesauce.  In the morning we prepped it and put it in the slowcooker.  Instead of instant gratification we had to wait many hours for our treat!!







When girls weren't prepping, they were finishing up projects and enjoying their dolls and friends....






Miss Carolina is VERY good at braiding  hair.  The hair of little girls AND little dolls.  


Have you ever tried writing with a quill pen?  I don't think Felicity's was hot pink or peacock blue, but we had fun trying to write and draw with the tip of a feather.









Felicity wasn't as lucky as we are to have running water and a hot bath or shower every day.  In colonial days ladies carried tussie-mussies to repel offensive odors.  






Felicity's Ball and Cup Game is a bit more colorful when made from vibrant duct tape!!




Felicity thought a girl should know more than how to prepare the perfect tea.  We agree, but  making tea cups from clay is still very fun!




Choo-Choo!  

These American Girls have someplace to go!!!!!!




And finally..........................
The applesauce!!!!
