a picture’s worth a thousand words

That was some style show we had last night! I knew you’d want to see pictures, so I’ve spent the morning putting together a pictorial review of the evening’s festivities. Many thanks to Dawn Tucker for the action shots.

We began the evening with pink silk taffeta goodie bags from Lantern Moon and handmade chocolate dipped strawberries from our neighbor The Chocolate Gallery. Oh my, were they good!

The show began with Jeanne and her daughter Sydney. Jeanne is wearing the Fern Lace Scarf in Garnstudio Silke Tweed, one of my favorite yarns. Sydney is wearing a short-sleeved top knitted in reverse stockinette stitch out of Ornaghi Filati Bamboo. She’s carrying the Very Luminary Baby Blanket, designed by Michele Wyman, made in Ornaghi Filati Merino Layette. That’s Katie wrapped up in the blanket. Get a load of Sydney’s shoes — I want some too!

Following our mother/daughter duo was a mother/daughter trio — Kim, Lauren and Sara. For her first garment of the evening, Kim wore the Lace is More, Love tunic, designed by Lorna Miser, made of Garnstudio Tibet, a chunky wool, acrylic and rayon blend. Kim was followed by her daughters, each wearing a version of Lorna Miser’s Meets in the Middle Chevron Shell. Sara wore the red version in Ornaghi’s Alicante cotton blend; Lauren’s shell was made of Ornaghi’s Dream Print.

Here we have Kirby modeling Michele Wyman’s seamless raglan cardigan from her Classic Beginnings series, made in Ornaghi Filati’s Marbella.

This is Kim again, wearing what we dubbed Sunset on the Beach made in Garnstudio Muskat and Safran.

Kirby reappeared in the final garment of the evening, a show-stopping jacket made of Garnstudio Silke Tweed, with sleeves of Vivaldi mohair, edged in a chunky wool called Eskimo.
