For five or so years, my mom, June, helped me in the shop. She was quite the hostess at Tea Parties. She loved to fuss over guests, especially making sure all ages partook of the fancy hats, gloves, scarves, boas, & jewelry.
The first half of most teas was the trying on and finding just the right accessory to "take tea" in. She showed them how to choose, style, then model their items, as she was Miss Style herself.
Then when all was just right....the Tea commenced.
She was affectionately known as Miss Magnolia, below with
great-granddaughter Avery.
Miss Magnolia (June) has moved back to her home area (Mid Wisconsin) and Wednesday, July 21, is having her 90th birthday party. She still enjoys a good party. We wish her a good time.
You may wish her well here in the "see and read comments" below. I'll make sure she sees them.

Miss June,
You probably don't remember me but I remember you, a lady with such class and poise. You were a true delight when I would come into the tea shop. You always made everyone feel so comfortable and at home
. I was one of the ladies who took over the care of the tea shop when Larry passed and Marsha had to take him home.
I want to say "Happy Birthday" and wish you many more. To Marsha, I would like to say: How lucky you are to still have your mom. Congratulations to you both!
