This past Sunday, I attended
the grand opening of Adelicia Acklen's bedroom suite at the Belmont Mansion,
the setting of A Lasting Impression, the first of three Belmont Mansion novels.
And oh, it was such fun! In case you don't know, Adelicia built the Belmont Mansion in 1853 and is a character in A Lasting Impression. And what a character she is.
Get ready... The bedroom is just as I described it in A Lasting Impression, having been privy to the history of the room and the renovation underway (thanks to Mark Brown). It's a little dizzying when you take it all in at first. But stunning!

Hope you enjoy, and remember…
There's a **FREE OPEN HOUSE** at Belmont Mansion this Sunday, March 17 from 1-4PM celebrating the grand opening of
Adelicia's bedroom suite.
I'll be there from 2-4PM
visiting with everyone and signing copies of A Lasting Impression and To
Whisper Her Name.
Hope to see you there!
I got my parents to say yes! Yay!
ReplyDeleteMy dad thought it would be neat if I wore my prairie dress,but considering how fancy this place is, the dress would be far too plain. I would be all set for the Rocky Mountains, but not for the magnificent balls and parties like Adelicia would have. One of these days I will get a ball gown like Claire's or Olivia's, just for the heck of it!
Woohoo, Bailey! You're going to LOVE Adelicia's home. It's so beautiful. And what a great day to come see it. Looking forward to seeing you and your sweet family again. And I say "YES to the dress" in terms of having a ball gown like Claire's or Olivia's. Just for the heck of it. LOL!
DeleteStunning is right, Tammy---WOW! ~ I'd be there if I lived closer *sigh*. Hope it goes well and the weather is nice.
