This weekend, I took an impromptu trip to the Bay Area to see beloved friends. And then there was food, wine, and Cards Against Humanity. The official vintage-costume-party is actually tomorrow night (and I have a *fabulous* dress for that, so stay tuned), but in celebration of fine friends, and a seriously crazy-cool apartment ("The Parlor"), here are some random photos...

| Sam has quite the collection of hats, and a gazillion other intriguing things. On the far left there are collars, in their original boxes. |
 |
| Maggie of Serendipitous Stitchery |
 |
| A pile a suspenders, because of course that's completely normal in everyone's houses. |

I didn't wear vintage last night, but today was a good excuse.
Here's the dress I made ages ago, but hadn't worn yet, from Advance 6643:

| I didn't wear American Duchess shoes, which was a mistake, since my feet hurt after an hour walking around Alameda. |
