Yesterday, like so many of you, us ladies and gents up here in Reno held our Titanic Memorial Tea at The Isles Tea Shoppe. After many pots of tea, a parade of scones and tea sandwiches, and a moment of silence for those lost to the sea 100 years ago, a smaller group of us went to the Nevada Museum of Art to see the Tiffany exhibit. Here are some photos from the day…

| At the Tiffany exhibit, Nevada Museum of Art. Lampshade + Lampshade, haha. |
 |
| Tiffany lamps. Guns were also on display – gorgeous, incredible guns. I had no idea Tiffany had done firearms. |
 |
| We were told to stop taking pictures after this point, lol. Ooops. Bad museum visitors! |
 |
| My mom’s whole ensemble. |
 |
| …and mine. I loved wearing this, and look forward to taking it on the cruise in May, although I can’t take the hat, so some smaller, flatter chapeau will have to suffice. |

October 27, 2012 at 1:13 PMI know this is a while ago, but do you have any more pictures or details of Carl's costume? I'm thinking of crafting something similar for my son.
All those costumes are so good, I'm absolutely stunned. Do you all do all the work yourself?
