robinsnestmandie_rw finally finished school *triumphant noises* and I wanted to celebrate by actually seeing my wifey. So I wrangled the usual suspects plus some new faces to boot! A table for TEN?! TEN PEOPLE WERE DRAGGABLE. *ahem* attendance has been low of late so having friends around made me feel all the happy feels. 
The cutest person at the table way by far Jess's adorable kid. Okay so he wasn't into posing for my photo, but he was a perfect gentleman and is there anything better than kids in costume? oh and yes Jess is annoyingly photogenic still.
If that's not the look Alice gives me on a regular basis I don't know what is.
As always the tea was delicious, the company was fantastic and we got many a compliment. I wore my now old hat poinsettia skirt (I was gonna make it just for this then ended up wearing it five times) and decided that I wasn't up for attempting a real vintage hairdo so I plopped my Jennylafleur bangs on my head and pinned all my curls UP and went for an I luv Lucy look...it was sort of successful if looking like I slept on roadkill counts. My hair is just way way way too long to do anything really vintage.
After tea we went for the traditional waltz through the antique store next door. Where as is tradition I walked away with a pile of $5 hats. I looked for candelabras for the Young Victoria Dinner but struck out. I also got some nice vintage lace and a pair of brown gloves.
My one regret is we never got a nice group photo and photos seated at a table are just not that interesting.
