Tea-lightful
It was a very pleasant afternoon.
The M.oss M.ansion is an historic house museum. It was built in 1903 and cost $105,000.00. It is all original.
They have tours daily, and at different times of the year they have theme displays. Currently they are presenting Here Comes The Bride - 100 years of wedding fashions from families of the Yellowstone Valley.
MFH's great-grandmother's wedding dress from 1908 is on display, along with 53 other dresses, only 3 of which are older than hers. My MIL also displayed their framed marriage license and their wedding picture. They cropped G-G Mabel's picture out and used it on the entrance tickets, as well as on a poster of the event. This was all a surprise. We (MFH's aunt and myself) didn't know that she had taken these items in. It was really quite nice.
I wore a very light weight black skirt with a tan lacy overlay and a black lace jacket, hose and heels. I was overdressed. There were many people there in flipflops and jeans, but my MIL was happy that we had occasion to dress up.
Sometimes, it's all about making her happy.

How very cool about the pictures!!!
I find it sad that so many people dress down for events these days. Now, don't get me wrong, I dress ultra-casual most of the time. But, for certain things, it's nice to get dressed up. And I'm usually over-dressed. I remember going to see Phantom of the Opera on Broadway for the Saturday night show and insisting that we dress up. Ha! We were one of the few. I couldn't believe how many were in jeans. I really thought that was one of the few things people still dressed for.
