Then it was time for the party officially to begin! Two amazing millinery confections made of elaborately crafted pastel sugars, frosting, and cake were on display. They both looked good enough not only to eat, but even to wear! The details on each of them, from feathers to gathered gauze to flowers, were unbelievable in their meticulous attention to every minute little detail.
We had a marvelous time catching up with old friends and making the acquaintance of new ones. Many of the participants came in their favorite period or vintage clothing and it was such fun strolling about admiring all of the beautiful finery. Recognizing fellow bloggers by their costumes became one of the pleasures of the evening, and we had such fun finally being able to put faces to some of the digital names we've grown accustomed to seeing! :-)
We were so busy mingling and chatting (and eating cupcakes!) that we didn't even get a chance to take a picture of the two of us together all dressed up! We went as "silk sack sisters," both in our striped silk sack jackets. Hopefully some time later this week (praying the weather improves!), we'll try to get some quality pictures of our newest creations to share. In the meantime, look forward to further conference updates over the next few days!

a timeless testament to the incomparable skill and
talent of the ladies that are the MHS.

Oooh! It sounds like such fun!! :-)
Thanks for taking the time to update the rest of us! We're all enjoying it vicariously. :-)
I hope the weather warms up quickly! :-)
Say hello to my wonderful coworker Adrienne Saint-Pierre! She was more than thrilled to attend the conference this year.
It was absolutely lovely meeting both of you. Hope to see you again soon!
It was so wonderful to finally meet you both in person! I thoroughly enjoyed chatting over coffee. :)
Leia and Aubry, it was so nice to finally meet both of you, too! Here's hoping we can find another excuse to see each other again soon! :-)
I am not a tulle kind of girl. Follow the size chart exactly. I was at an overseas address and shipping to me only took 10 days so I assume shipping in US would come super-fast!
