Saturday, May 9th was the Liverpool Township Bi-Cenneniel fund raising Tea. (yes, I'm on that committee too!) I went to the old school cafeteria on Friday afternoon, and set up tables, placed the china and spent a great deal of time folding napkins. Well......somebody had to do it!
It was really fun! Many of the committee and guests dressed in period costumes. I however chose "no costumes, period"! A little play on words, anyway......I wore a suit and a big formal hat!
I don't wear hats too often these days, unless I have the occassion to drive a horse and carriage............ which is not too often. The committee met at my house a couple of weeks ago and cut out, assembled and decorated "fans" to place on the tables as programs and menus.
Cute idea? Yes, I thought so when I made the suggestion. We had a great time playing with scissors and glue!
Finger sandwiches, fruit, scones (loved the scones) and pastries along with hot tea. The members of the committee brought an assortment of tea pots to set on the tables.
After the Tea, we had a program presented by Tamia Land, a re-enactment specialist in costume from Ft. Meigs. It was my first experience at seeing that and it was very interesting.
Chemise vs. Chemisette....Hmmmm! I will look on those settlers in a new light, now that I know
what their under garments look like!
