Regency Card Party

Belated reporting, but I wanted to post pics from Jenny-Rose's lovely Regency card party! As usual the food was amazing (I need recipes!!) and the decorations lovely. All that candlelight!

Treneka, a friend of Jenny-Rose's took photos too - here's the site with them - I borrowed a few, including this group photo: forthejoyphotography.pass.us/card-party/

Doug - not quote regency, but that's ok.

Here's the food - a delicious pork pie made from a period recipe, and a vegetable soup that was amazing!

More Francaise dinner

So, apparently I have more Francaise dinner pics that I was too tired to notice were further down in the album (behind some brunch photos). So here you have more Francaise dinner pics! yay!

I believe this was Doug's salmon:









Our (tiny) dealer table:

Francaise Dinner

So here we have the Francaise dinner itself. There were so many logistics that weekend, but amazingly, it really couldn't have gone better!

Gloria's friend Beth is a professional photographer and she took beautiful photos for us! I'll share some of those in another post.

Here's the group pic she took:

A very big thanks to Gen for making us these beautiful cameo chocolates, which we put on everyone's plate. They were so pretty and much as I hated to eat them, they also tasted delicious. Thank you, Gen!



More behind the cut.

30 Day Cosplay/Costuming Meme - Day 13

Still slowly trucking through this. It's just not going to be 30 days in a row!

13. Your cosplay specialty (ie. something that seems to apply to a large amount of your cosplays, it could be a specific series, or a common feature in their appearance, such as glasses)

Hmm - well, I used to do a lot of Star Wars and Lord of the Rings and general movie stuff - these days it's mostly historical. It's been fun exploring something new, and also not being tied to having to look like a specific actress. I'm not sure there's really a common theme there?
