Last night, a fabulous group of ladies gathered together to welcome the fall season by sharing tips on fashion, food, and catching up with friends. The quote I chose for this post aptly describes the women in the picture above. (And the ones you can’t see in this picture, but who were there.)
The bonds of friendships created amongst these ladies will last a lifetime. Each one exemplifies her role as a daughter of God, a mother, a wife, a sister, a friend. They share freely, they laugh joyously and they silently offer a shoulder to lean on when you need one. They are role models to each other, they are motivating and inspiring, and they do these things with no ego and without guile.
It was wonderful to spend time with friends, munch on some great food, learn some new skills and make fun of each other. We learned how to accessorize, make fun cupcakes, and how to make decorative bows. The abundance of talent in that room was astounding, and their willingness to share their talents—lovely.
Here are some pictures I took of the fun event. Enjoy!
