Happy Wilmington Women’s Tea Walk Day! ☕️ Finally got to take my colonial dress out for a public event 🥲 The event was to commemorate the same walk that took place 250 years ago where a bunch of women burned their tea to protest the government and tax policies.
Today we shared tea, biscuits, and comrade with ladies looking to preserve the triumphs of those who came before us to raise their voices in whatever ways they could. Because our nation was founded on the people’s representation, democracy and no kings!
I had a great time re-enacting and displaying my ancestral Carmichael tartan. I hope the ancestors on both sides are proud. And yes, of course Rupert escorted me around. He still doesn’t get why we love things like this buuuut he does appreciate the propriety of 18th century wear. While he did dress appropriately for the event (dashing!) don’t expect to see him in his red coat any time soon. He’s been away from active service for a looooong time.
