I'm guessing the lace trim would come off very easily with a handy little thread ripping tool I have. No problem.

I also have a little belt purse that I made for myself; I'd be happy to make one for you as well - it's pretty simple and closes with a button (not quail) - if you tell me what dimensions you'd like the purse (silver trim? Or gold?), as well as your cream scarf, I can whip those together before you get here!

Anything else? They had some really cool blue fabric at WalMart for a dollar a yard, and I was sorely tempted to start a new gown for myself, though it's unlikely that it would be finished before Friday... Hmmm...
