Hi friends! <3
For International Lolita Day, I went to the Eastman House with the semi local comm. It had been a couple of years since the last visit, so it was especially nice to go again. Various clubs and businesses in the area create gingerbread houses and visitors to the museum can bid on them in a silent auction. Funds raised go towards the museum I believe, which is pretty cool. There were so many gingerbread houses on display! More than last time I want to say. I loved all the little details and clever ways the different candies/building materials were utilized.
Here are some of my favorites... <3
This one was done by The Mad Hatter. We went there for tea last year :-)
Continuing on...
The house was completely decked out for the holidays and ready to impress. Christmas trees were scattered throughout. Each tree had specially themed ornaments. It was fun trying to guess them all while walking around. The mini trees also seemed to be acting as a secondary fundraiser. Pretty clever.
We took a bunch of pics on the grand staircase and then went to a café for a late lunch/supper. I got this delicious mushroom wrap with a side of pasta salad...
And this giant chocolate chip cookie that was about as big as my head! Haha :-D
