I've never been so uncomfortable in my life and had so much pleasure fun at the same time. We ate cucumber sandwiches and sweet cakes and drank raspberry tea and discussed the Victorian/Edwardian novels we had read. I presented a newly printed version of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde with many old illustrations of the period. Kathalee, our hostess, made the dress she wore which had a Scarlett O'Hara look about it.
I took pictures of all the brave souls who wore costumes - note that one lady came dressed in a black satin cape as Sherlock Holmes.
I was so amazed when I looked in the mirror with my hat on how much it resembled my dear mother who always wore hats during my growing up years when she went out.
I can't seem to move the pictures around on this blog so you will have to look for me in my purple outfit. Bye Bye Dec 19, 2010

Love the dresses!!1 Grammy you look great in the purple dress.
How fun! What a fun party to go to, makes me want to go to a murder mystery party or somewhere where I can get into character. Love the pictures, thanks for sharing!
When I saw the picture of you I admit I thought, "That's grandma!", meaning Mabel. Really, you do look like her.
And the purple costume is amazing...far and away the coolest one. Did you rent it!
