So here’s photos of the fine lassies of the OVPR camp. It has been pointed out to me that my camp shots made it seem that this was a guytime event with a few stray women around. Well it’s not, so I deliberately went out and photographic the ladies in camp.
A Lass at Her Lodge
Lassies’ camps are just as varied as laddies’ camps. Some are very spare, some quite opulant, most are somewhere in between.
A New Outfit at its 1st Party
And looking mighty fine too at the Masquerade Tea. This is definetely a Wise Woman and not a witch!
Campfire Dutchoven Cooking
If a watched pot never boils does a watched dutchoven never burn on the bottom? It’s late afternoon here & getting somewhat damp & chill – not ugly cold, just enough for a jacket.
A Faithful Dog Soldier Off Duty at Her Lodge
The dinner has been cooked & eaten and the dishes have been washed. Now it’s time to kick back and relax.
Holly’s Happy Home Away from Home
Plain or fancy, a lass’s lodge is her castle. Her hearth is warm and there is always room for a friend to visit.
Two Ladies on the Way to the Range
Hear Ye, Hear Ye: Let it be known, the ladies love the shooting just as much as the gents.
Another Lass Going to the Range
Unfortunately I missed the award ceremony so I don’t know how well these lasses did on the range. I’m pretty sure they had fun though!
The Seamstress & the Cook Chatting
The Traders don’t get as much time to socilize as the rest of us. Here the Seams Colonial seamstress and the Green Man Inn cook chat before opening up for the day.
A Powhatan Lady
A prosperous Powhatan lady out enjoying the fine weather & shopping at the Trade Tents.
Two Ladies from the Northern Prairie
The OVPR Rendezvous asks for pre-1840 attire of the North American continent. Many OVPR ladies choose 1700’s colonial attire of the Virginias, but attire from the 1800’s or other geographic areas is perfectly acceptable
When Two Ladies put Their Heads Together . . .
Perchance Mischief is About to be Managed – in fact I’m sure of it. Hide the bucket, hide the alcohol, the game is afoot! Squirrel!
Buffalo Woman at Work
Buffalo Woman & I spent a fair amount of time ripping out machine stitched button hole stitches and buttons, then stitching handsewn button holes and sewing on buttons. Mistakes happen in sewing, we were helping a friend fix them
