We had a delightful time at the Literary Ball! This ball took place in the McMinville Grand Ballroom - beautifully strung with lights and gauze.
Kathrina came as Princess Eilonwy from the Prydain Chronicles, complete with a golden bauble.
Sarah was Laura Ingalls
Krista was Rose Gamgee (Cotton as was!) from the Lord of the Rings
I wanted to wear my paternal Grandmama's dress my aunt had just given me from the 1930's. I paired with with my maternal Grandmother's mink stole and jewelry from the 1950's. The question was, what character to be?
I finally chose Velvet Brown, from "National Velvet". Now I know I don't look anything like Elizabeth Taylor, but in the book Velvet had blond hair, and this was a literary ball.
Kathrina finished her dress the morning of the ball!
I loved this girl's outfit.
We made Plum Puffs from Anne of Avonlea.
A Ringwraith sought to terrorize Rose Gamgee.
I always love the costumes David P. comes up with!
Afterwards Jon grabbed me for a swing dance. I hadn't had a chance to do it since we learned at Booher Music Camp, so I had a blast!
Attempting to learn the Charleston.
The whole group of dancers.
