Harvest Dinner

Pin It Now!
Last night I hosted a Harvest Dinner and, yes, there was quite a lot of food (most of it pretty delicious.)  The reason I really wanted to host this Harvest themed dinner was because last year my good friend, Liz, found this super cool 1960's evening wear in a free box and it just so happened to fit me perfectly.  Oh, yeah, and this dress has a cape!
Well, I had not yet had the occasion to wear the dress and so I made one.  Actually, I had thought of hosting this harvest dinner the year before right after I had received the awesome dress.  So last night was my Harvest Dinner dress debut, and I think it was a hit.  I guess you can be the judge.  One of my friends said that I looked like I should be greeting people at a couple's island.  I take that as a compliment.
I would like to add that the awesome giant poster is also a gift from my friend, Liz.  I totally love it.  It is a 1960 men's catalog ad for "activity wear."  She found it at a naked lady party she recently went to, so it was, shockingly, free as well.
For dessert of the dinner I had made a vegan cheesecake, which I love to make, only this time I could make a proper cheesecake because a month ago I found a spring-form pan! in a free box.  Anyway, this is a picture before I took it out of the pan.  It was a delicious cheesecake, but I am a bit biased.  I topped it with some blueberries - yum- that Brandon and myself picked in the North Cascades National Park this summer.

Thank you Portland free boxes!  I love you.
