So many of my favourite things in one place....
beautiful victorian country house & gardens
elegant dresses & sumptuous fabrics
theatrical fancydress & underwear
dainty parasols & exquisite evening bags 
delicate fans & vivid feathers
shoes! and more shoes!
then down twirling spiral stairs to
delicious homemade soup and melt in the mouth shortbread

ah! shambellie house - if i remember correctly, it used to be a kind of "dependance" of the royal scottish museum, right? long time ago my best scottish friend maxine did the whole setup for shambellie: she was the costume specialist in the rsm at the time ...
