Fun "Achievement Day"

I recently visited my friend, who is preisident of her "Homemakers" club, and I was able to go to their "Achievement Day" The theme was hats. That cute little pin cushion "hat" was a door prize I got to take home.

The colors were purple and YELLOW, and all the ladies wore hats.

Aren't hats fun? I wish we still wore them.

My friend wore several different(CRAZY) hats and kept us laughing all day.

There was a contest for "Best Centerpiece"

Each club had their own table.

Here was ours, which didn't win.

WHAT? Fred Astaire! Top Hat! How original is that????? hehehehe

A lady gave a talk about hats and how they have changed through the years.

Very interesting. She even let us try on the hats.

My favorite was this BLUE bonnet.

She also showed us some other pretty things we ladies used to wear.

I even got to be in the group picture.

A Cool Afternoon Snack

Whew! It's hot! Time to cool off. Table is set in the kitchen.

My inspiration was this recent vintage tablecloth find.



These lemon plates were at Walmart. We are having finger sandwiches,

apple slices............

fresh blueberries, and

A big ole pitcher of ice cold lemonade.

I love this pitcher from Walmart. EVERYTHING just looks so good in it.

Flowers are in my "Cream" jug, and the glasses were a flea market find.

Thanks for taking time to join me today.

A Clever Idea

I came across this arbor, and thought it was a great idea.

The arbor is made from two old doors. What a great way to recycle! And I can think of several different ways to use this idea.

How I Love this red, green and white quilt.

This last quilt was amazing.

It took this person almost three years to complete it.
