Actually this post is less about Regency England and more about the Gilded Age in the United States. Long before income tax came into being, the American elite built castles of their own, many in Newport, but one particularly gorgeous one in Asheville. I am going to look at the Christmas lights and tour the Biltmore House for the holidays this weekend. And I am thrilled.
Hit the link above to see how pretty this house is for the holidays…. Maybe I’ll get inspired to add more gilt and glitter to my books 🙂

I simply love this place at Christmas! Enjoy your time there. 🙂
Thanks Leah! It was really fabulous. What a gorgeous place…
