The other day Tom and I enjoyed a leisurely afternoon stroll through our neighborhood and snapped few photos along the way. I really wanted to take some time to soak in as much of the fall color as possible before winter swoops in and turns everything grey. There were pretty mums and hydrangea blooming in front of a nearby church. The church has a bell tower that rings the time every fifteen minutes so when I'm at home, I always know what time it is!
I'm wearing a lovely 20s frock I bought on Etsy. I've been wanting to wear it because it reminds me of the pretty dresses worn on Boardwalk Empire (I told you I've been watching that show too much!). It's quite delicate though and I think couldn't handle much more than a leisurely stroll. When I sat down in it, I could hear the threads popping and the entire lining sort of disintegrated during the walk. I guess it's going to be relegated to display status. At least I got to wear it once!

Lovely, as always! I'm glad the dress got to have an outing.

OH MY GOODNESS!!! That dress is SO beautiful it brings tears to my eyes! I'm the same with Boardwalk Empire lately. I cannot get over that Butterfly wall. WOW. You continue to dazzle and amaze with your posts!
These photos are just dreamy--from the painted butterflies to the gauzy 20's dress! You're lucky to be surrounded by so much beautiful scenery. :)
that is an absolutely beautiful dress!!!

Outfit is too!

Lovely!
I have several dresses I can't wear :o(
Gorgeous pictures! Your neighborhood is so vibrant and photogenic.
I know how it is with those darn antique dresses : ( I have a pink silk 20s dress trimmed in lace; it's the most beautiful thing, but the silk has started to shatter and it's a pull-on (no closures!), and just putting it on I ripped it. They're awfully lovely to look at though!
I so want this dress! You look amazing!

What a gorgeous dress! Too bad it's not wearable... you look amazing in it!
small historic pennsylvania towns are by far my favorite, though i may be a bit biased since i grew up in one.
That dress is amazing! So beautiful!
I understand what you mean by too much Boardwalk Empire :) Lately I'm drawn to everything 20s :)
that's so pretty, I want to do a wall like that in my town!
That wall of butterflies is fantastic! You certainly have some incredible art in your neighbourhood.
Very nice neighbourhood.. I would love to stay there! Nice outfit.
AW how heartbreaking about your dress! It is crazily beautiful! Too bad that means it is beautifully delicate too!
