The Titanic Party

Key elements of the party that made it a success despite its original plan of being outside.

1.) beautiful and socially-inclided guests
2.) Era wardrobes - gloves, hats, dresses, pearls
3.) music from the movie and decade
4.) Food offerings were based off of a menu from the ship
5.) charming baby's breath, candles, jars and lace on the table
6.) plenty o' wine (this should probably be rated #1 or #2)
7.) Friday night rather than the usual work night

This picture from the party brings me immense happiness.

slight revision of focus...




I originally thought this blog was only for traveling purposes, but I've realized everyday is an adventure to be celebrated and recorded. Today's food for thought: small intimate gatherings in public places. take ownership of these spaces with creative and simple dinners/events. website for inspiration: Kinfolk: http://vimeo.com/33173768 (watch video!!!)


upcoming: spring Titanic-themed potluck in the front lawn of our apartment building - by candlelight, of course.
