And since I met someone who was lucky enough to attend The Annual Jazz Age Lawn Party in New York, I have been avidly following it and all things linked to it.
Wildly anticipated by Flappers; the Party brings back a time in the 1920s where rollicking in a delightful afternoon rendezvous of live music and dance, instruction in period dances, picnicking, and games, is the order of the day. The day includes...
*A delightful variety of refreshing cocktails.
*Homemade barbeque.
*Live dance performances
*Bake Sale!
*Authenitc '78 records from the 1920s played on a phonograph
*Charleston lessons
*Parade Of Hats
*Pie Recipe Contest
*1920s Motorcar Exhibition
*Tug O' War
And my favourite...
*Vintage clothing Market!!!
People make an enormous effort to look the part...

| The shoes... |
 |
| The accessories,such attention to detail. |
 |
| The parasol-so ladylike. I love all these old traditions.Such a pity they fade away. |
This is my absolute idea of Heaven. Maybe I was born in the wrong era???
There is just something so other worldly about it all-the music, the clothes, the people... the atmosphere (sigh...) I am definitely going to plan my next New York trip around this event. Who knows-I might never come home! :-)
