At the Pickering Museum Village

I had the chance to accompany my daughter in her class trip to the Pickering Museum Village. It was a very educational experience, learning about how life was during the pioneer days. Really makes you appreciate all the modern conveniences we have now.

Below are some pics I took that day:)

This pic makes me LOL so hard....

They got to make candles too!

Our tour guide baking a scone for the kids:

Have you been to a pioneer village like this?

No I haven't but it looks like fun, although the kids don't look greatly impressed! Ha! Did the scone taste good?

Looks like a fun and educational trip. I bet everyone was glad they don't have to live like the pioneers did ;p

We have something similar about half an hour away from here. I love the old porcelain, and the storage tins.

We have a few around here.

Actually during the TV series with Sacha Baron Cohen's Borat one of his best bits was going down to a SC plantation

Sounds like a fun field trip Emmy. The General store looks interesting I can’t believe this is really how it people shopped, hard to imagine. I’ve never been to a pioneer village but now I really want to visit.

How cool! I've been to Plymouth Plantation and that was something else. It was pretty full on. The actors never broke character which I found to be annoying hahaha. On the Mayflower I had a weird conversation with the "captain" who hadn't heard of Australia. It didn't occur to me he was in character though. This went on for a good ten minutes with my cousins in hysterics. I can be so slow sometimes hahahaha!

What a wonderful experience for them. My parents took us to places like this so that we would be appreciative. I'm sure your children will be glad that they have all of the conveniences we have today. <3

 If you've been reading my blog for the past few months, then you know my love for Alabama Chanin. Here's the newest addition to my wardrobe. :) Alabama Chanin Flora Waffle Sweatshirt, worn with North Face jacket, UNIQLO pants, and Vans sneakers The organic waffle knit fabric is naturally dyed using Sappanwood sawdust, and the foliage design is hand-painted! What I love about Alabama Chanin is that many of their pieces are one-of-a-kind. PS It was my eldest's birthday when these pics were taken:) How was your weekend? Any new purchases lately?

Here are some recent shots taken with my Pentax K1000 film camera. I decided to mail my films and have them developed at Downtown Camera , and oh my gosh, you guys! Such a big difference with how they turned out. So so happy, and will be sending all my 35mm films to them from now on. (All these shots were how they were sent to me...no editing. Used Fujifilm ISO200 films.)
