HARS Tea

[atherleisure]

Our March HARS event was a tea yesterday afternoon. It was a very nice time. The Grahams seem to be becoming regulars at the events, which is great because they're awfully nice people. Megan, who first came to our Rienzi outing, was there, and she had made herself a costume in a beautiful shade of green. We even had two new people - Kayla who came in 1780's and her husband Juan. Kayla evidently knows some people in Dallas, but she just moved here a few months ago. I'm glad she found us already because she seems quite nice. It was an extraordinary event when 43% of the participants had (natural) red hair. That just doesn't happen outside of family reunions.

The only pictures I have are some that Martha took of my new bonnet and spencer, but I saw Greg take several pictures so I hope some of them will be posted to the Facebook page, if nowhere else.

Next up will be archery in April.







I put my spencer on in a hurry and didn't realize that it ended up shifted back a bit - so the back neck should be a little higher and the front neck a little lower than it is in these pictures. Then it would look more normal.

You look amazing! I love how the diamond shape of your hat matches the little diamond doodads on the spencer.

You look lovely!

I love the cut of the back and sleeves and shape of the bonnet.

Eee! I love it! The hat in particular looks even more wonderful when worn.

You look so beautiful!!! I'm glad you had a good time and you guys are gathering more members!

That entire outfit is lovely from top to bottom. And the round-vs-square shape of the bonnet is so much fun! It's nice you got some new people, too - and a gentleman?! How lucky!

Thanks. Believe it or not, we have two gentlemen who are regulars, and since we only have three women who are regulars, that's saying a lot.

Thanks. I didn't even think about the connection between the jacket trim and the bonnet shape. Now I like it even better!

Thanks. This is one of those costumes where the back is more interesting than the front!

Thanks!

Thanks. I'm so glad we're starting to accumulate people.

That diamond-shaped hat is fantastic, and your spencer is really cute. :)

And Kayla is awesome! She comes to CoCo every year, too.

Thanks. She mentioned having been to CoCo. Another person to envy...

[theladyrebecca.livejournal.com]

You should come, too!

Some day, but it just isn't practical right now.
