Party like it's 1965!

Nice things just keep happening for us. In addition to the feature in the May issue of Indulge magazine, we were recently invited to provide a display of vintage furniture for a Mad Men-themed martini mixer given by Sebesta Blomberg for a group of engineers, architects and others involved with the building trade.

The event was last night at the Aloft Hotel in downtown Dallas, and my SIL was in attendance. Mad Men lookalikes performed skits based on the TV series, door prizes were awarded, martinis flowed, and people came to party.

I helped stage the area before the festivities started, so all I got were shots of our room setting. As we left, we saw a throng of people in 60s attire waiting to get in. Later I tried to contact my SIL to remind him to get some shots of the activity, but his phone was off!

      It does almost look like you could move in, doesn't it?

    That would have been a great party to attend and your "set" looks fantastic. I love "Mad Men" and Jon Hamm is an alumni of the same university from which I graduated so I feel a special connection to the show even though I have never met him. Hopefully, he will be Grand Marshal for Homecoming some day - a girl can dream!

      One of my best friends is sending her son off to Mizzou next fall. Maybe both of you will get to meet Jon Hamm someday.

      The bar was a bit of an afterthought. I'm glad we included it.

    I can't believe I almost missed this post!

    You did an amazing job, Dana, this is straight out of the set of Mad Men! Everything is spot-on, and your Birds-in-flight brass sculpture is the the perfect accent piece. It's so cool that mid2mod was commissioned to put this together, word is getting around. Congrats!
