Costume Society of America: Williamsburg, Day 5

Saw several more excellent presentations this morning/afternoon, survived my own presentation, dined at Josiah Chowning's Tavern, and enjoyed a splendid musical interlude at the Rayleigh Tavern in the evening.  The five-piece ensemble (harpsichord, viola de gamba, violin/English guitar, flute and voice) performed an hour of 17th-18th century music by female composers, as well as a few pieces known-to-have-been-performed-by celebrated female musicians of the period.

Unfortunately, amidst the excitement, I neglected to bring my camera.

Edited to add:
That should read "to everything after lunch".  I actually did get some pictures of the morning's trade demonstrations, which included the apprentice weavers dying yarn, and a visit to the cooper's shop.
