Sharing J.L. Hudson Memories with the Plymouth Historical Society

On Sunday, March 16, my hubby and I went to the Plymouth Historical Museum, in Plymouth, MI for a Mad Hatter Tea Party.  Executive Director, Elizabeth Kerstens, contacted me back in January about doing my J.L. Hudson's presentation for the program. We arrived at 1:00 p.m. to get set-up for the 2:00 o'clock tea.  The room was ready for 52 attendees, and ladies were busily preparing the meal - a Maurice Salad, of course!


The director, Elizabeth [at right],was busy with meal preparations.


Students from Northville High School Honor Society were servers.  They did a great job!  I smiled when I overheard one of the ladies concluding her instructions with them say, "Now go wash your hands as though you're preparing for surgery."  ;-)


Many of the attendees wore a hat - including one gentleman [left, orange hat].



Pictured below is Tricia and her mom.  Tricia won a prize for the hat she made.  Isn't she sweet?  She reminded me of my granddaughter, Isabella.


The tea-loving lady below made her hat too - front and back view.  Love the tea set on top!


She won first place!



Another secure man who wasn't afraid to be in a predominately female crowd.  He said he's a history buff who liked Hudson's.


The attendees were so attentive and responsive.  Thank you, Elizabeth, for the invitation to speak to your wonderful guests.  I thoroughly enjoyed sharing with them.
