The night was a perfect success and will be remembered for many years to come, I feel. A big thank you to all those who worked so hard to make it come to pass.
I hope you can see the picture of Christ on this "Living room" table. Everything we do really comes from our desire to be followers of Him, and serve our families, neighbors and communities as He has asked of us.
My display, below:
Because a couple of you told me (in my last Post) that you remembered the "sprinkle tops" always being put into soda bottles, I went back to the Antique Shop and found this old 7-up bottle... just to make it more authentic. Thanks, girls. : )
This dress reminded me so much of the beautiful costumes from 'Downton Abbey'!
The program in the auditorium was just amazing. Many stories from Relief Society members, from decades past, were represented. It was all so impressive.
The food committee out-did themselves...as usual!!! Wow!
We were so pleased with the turn out and love we felt amongst the "Sisters" there that night.
Including my own sweet girl!
We gave out about 50 of these aprons to the ladies who have lived in the area for about four decades and have given so much to the Community and Relief Society over the years. We had them stand at the end.
"If
I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to
wash one anothers feet. For I have given you an example, that ye should
do as I have done to you." John 13:14-16

Looks and sounds like a fun and successful event. Thanks for sharing it all with us. You have been a busy lady.
What a cool event!
Looks like it was a marvelous event!! I've been to R.S. programs in the past and have enjoyed them very much.
I love all the decor and props in this one. Looks like lots of work...and lots of fun! And it's always extra-special when a daughter is involved!
Looks like it was so much fun! And a lot of work! Always good to have these kinds of things done and finished. My lesson last month was on the Guardians of the Hearth. Love that phrase. Wish I could have seen your fun event in person! Mimi
How I wish I could have been there...I love anything related to social history & you girls certainly pulled out all the stops!! I have so enjoyed scrutinising each picture to glean as much as possible!! I bet those aprons will be treasured & become family heirlooms themselves! That is such a gorgeous photo of you & 'your girl' too! TFS! :D
I wondered how your event had turned out. Looks like it was very successful and honored women thru the years just like it was intended to do! a lot of time an energy! I love all the vignettes of vintage home life.

How wonderful everything turned out! From the decorations to the food, it was a top shelf event!
You've been busy! Love all those tempting, tasty treats! Sounds like it was a lot of fun, despite the work (the work was probably fun too, though).
What a great looking event! The displays and the food looked amazing! So glad you visited so I could find you! I've been taking a little break but am getting back into it soon. I'll be back to visit!
