The Vintage Home Luncheon

Michelle's hoping to host a luncheon in the store once a month and here's photos from the first one. She also wanted to honor me and my turning the big 5-0 and hence the birthday cake! Can't believe I'm that old!! That's Laura Welborn and Teana Compeau. I didn't get very many good shots...am having some issues with my camera--it won't focus and it's very frustrating! Don't know what's the matter with the darn thing!

Our Annie (Huffman) catered the event. She's one talented young lady! Please visit her website www.huffmanevents.com The chicken salad was wonderful! And I love her yellow cakes--so moist and tasty and much to my frustration she won't give me the recipe! That stinker!

From left that's Olivia, Dee Vannoy and Carrie Hamilton. What great friends Michelle is making via the store! So many folks love and support her!

We discovered another of Annie's talents yesterday--can this girl ever sew! She made the dress she's wearing and showed us online the tinker bell costume she made not long ago--wow!!! That's a lot of talent in a little package!!

Close up of the cake in celebration of my 50th.

Olivia and Carrie Hamilton. Carrie's moved back home to her roots (she has Hubbard roots) recently after spending the previous years of her adulthood in New York City. She's loving the slower pace of rural living. She says she just didn't realize how hectic and stressful it was to live in the city until she got away from it and now loves it here. And Lord knows, Wilkes County can sure benefit from more metropolitan folks settling here! They provide us with culture and they bring energy and enthusiasm and new ways of thinking and seeing things. It's a good thing!

A really good photo of Annie (Huffman www.huffmanevents.com) I was so frustrated with my regular lens not focusing I used the telephoto for this one and the next one and they turned out nice.

Carrie (Hamilton), our city girl!
