Halloween

[puzzle_me]

I will be attending at least three costume parties this October, so costuming has been on my mind a lot lately. Party #1 is a masquerade party in the bay area. I have an awesome mask I'm planning to wear - figuring out what all else I'm going to wear with it has been a bit difficult. I have an idea in my mind of what I want to look like, but don't have the technical sewing skills to make it happen. I might e-mail Anna - one of the hosts of the party, who has an entire costume room in her house - to find out if there are things she could loan me that would work with the mask, as that would also cut down on what I would need to bring with in my luggage.

Party #2 and party #3 are both local, and both have themes. I'm still not sure if I'm going to go with the theme for party #2, but inspiration struck for a costume for party #3 last night. Over my lunch break, I ran to Joanne's and picked up part of what I need to make the costume. Most of the rest of what I need should be pretty easy to find, with the exception of one thing. Does anyone know where I can find brown marabou boas and/or trim? I was surprised that the enormous Joanne's in Maple Grove didn't carry it.

Have you tried Twin Cities Magic & Costume?

Not yet. When I tried calling them, they weren't picking up their phone. And I'm not making the trip into Lowertown unless I know that they have it.
