I may have just figured out what to do with my hair/wear on my head for Vampire Ball at the end of next month. It will involve modifying an existing fascinator, but that should be easy enough. Now to find gray velvet roses and feathers ...

I found the most interesting place for vintage hat flowers a couple of weeks ago...are you looking to order something, or find it locally?

I'm looking to order something. I just ordered some gray coque feathers off of Etsy, but finding some good gray velvet roses is proving to be tricky.

They also have a dementedly extensive collection of paper doilies, not that Trusty Assistant and I were getting distracted by those at the office last week or anything.

ETA: Not gray, but these peacock blue paper roses are quite striking: http://www.vintage-ornaments.com/flower-shop/paper-flowers/paper-sweetheart-roses-in-peacock-blue-npf7a

Completely off topic - I'm looking for resources for a kid who's really a really good artist (pencils, charcoals), willing to train and curious how he could make a living at it... Any pointers would be Grand!

Whenever I see news about your home away from home, I feel compelled to share. There's new Haunted Mansion merch coming this summer, and some of it is really cute!
