As we wend our way through the winter series at Idlewild Cottage, we’ll center our thoughts this week on the many indoor entertainments that kept evenings lively in an age when parlor games, artistic pursuits, and plays were all the rage. Children and adults alike called upon a creativity and ingenuity that just might inspire us to have an electricity free evening this winter, as well.
