Road trip to the Gatsby Summer Afternoon, was as always, well worth the trip. We drove up to the Bay Area on Saturday, caught up with friends, had a little dinner, a drinky and were up early for the making of sandwiches and the packing of baskets. Here are the photos, you are warned.

| Just flippin' fab! |

| Sartorial splendor worthy of a stroll in the 'bois' |
 |
| Caitlin with Chris, she made this bathing suit from a Target sweater, cut off the sleeves and used then for the trunks. Genius! |

| A fine example of the great costuming on display here. |

This year was a sell out, I think about 1000 people including vintage cars and bathtub gin. The weather was lovely after a few days of a hot spell and there was nothing to do but eat, drink, wander, dance and mooch treats from picnic pals. A roaring success!
On to the next!
Ever Your Thimble Servant,

DeleteSuch wonderful photos! Everyone looks so chic. One day I've got to get myself up there for that event...
ReplyDeleteIt really is worth the trip, so many like minded people. "Boys and girls and music, who needs gin!" (I do, I need gin)
DeleteFabulous, thanks for sharing these!
