| The McCharles House serves a delicious and charming high-tea in their Victorian house and old-fashioned garden. |
Saturday was a gorgeous day here in Orange County. Perfect for the Tustin Historical Society who was hosting their 17th annual promenade of lovely historic homes and gardens. I had been on this tour once before, and was really looking forward to exploring this charming area again. This year they featured a lovely collection of historic homes, most of them built between the 1880's and the 1930's. The guides and hostesses were all so friendly and informative, and I could really feel the sense of pride they had for their neighborhood. I hope you enjoy some of my favorite things about this year's tour!
