Titanic Tea: centennial commemoration

The Titanic Tea at the Grant House on Officer's Row was a delightful affair, full of glamorous hats and duds, and even more glamorous people!

Caley and I got a chance to meet Julie (Fab Gabs) and Rhiannon (Garb-oh Vintage) - two ladies with impeccable taste and even more impeccable. It was also a delight to fraternize with new friends and kindred spirits Janey (Atomic Redhead) and Solanah (Vixen Vintage)!

After tea and photography in the garden around the Grant House, we walked along Officer's Row, eye candy for the favorable passersby. And sad as it is to recognize the loss of so many lives in the Atlantic that night a hundred years ago, we could not help but celebrate their memory with fancy ensembles and warm smiles, as the day greeted us so amiably. What wonders blue sky and sunshine can do!

Many thanks to Solanah for hosting this event! It was a fabulous time, well worth the drive and ensuing mishaps.

Cheers!
