UVa's Colannade Club is located in Pavilion VII, on the Lawn. Ground broke on Pavilion VII in October 1817 (10-17); it was the first building in Jefferson's Academic Village. The rehearsal dinner will take place in the Solarium and in the Garden on Friday, October 16. Matt is completely responsible and I'm impressed. We're still working on catering. I'm thinking a BBQ...
Check out this gem of a sign. I found it while searching for Pavilion VII images.
If you're a crafty gal on the look for inspiration and handmade goodness and you haven't explored Etsy yet -- what, what, what are you waiting for! I log into Etsy no less than 4x a day. I even created my own store, Jenn A Say, to peddle thrifting finds (and excess Cibu gift boxes). You never know what you're going to unearth on Etsy but everything is either handcrafted or vintage. The site is so PURE in it's creative aspirations, it's palatable. The homepage is tricked out with in a myriad of search options: color, time capsule, editors picks, local artists. Today's search unearthed the dresses above, made by Armour sans Anguish (great name!). If Christian doesn't come through, either of these will do.... or maybe the short Doily Dress for the reception?
