First of all, beautiful bike. I'd love to ride it.

Second, where on earth do you get 28" tires?

Thanks a lot!

Actually, 28in tires aren't too hard to come by. Your local bike shop probably has some in stock.. I was riding some beautiful Vredestein Classic cream-colored tires for a while, but they can get dirty pretty quickly, and I'm really enjoying the look of these.
