Torrie said...: How fun! I have not heard of this event, but it sounds wonderful. What a great way to tie history into a fun, feminine activity!!
My favorite time period has to be the 40s-50s. My husband and I love everything from the fashions to the music and everything in between.; March 3, 2012 at 12:35:00 PM CST
Heather's Blog-o-rama said...: I love everything from the 1940s and earlier, but I do have a special love for Edwarding and Victorian eras....and anything that reminds me of Anne of Green Gables :) Have a great Sunday. Love and hugs from the ocean shores of California, Heather :); March 4, 2012 at 11:35:00 AM CST
Jessica White said...: What a wonderful event!

I can't pick a favorite time period, anything from the 1880s-1940s works for me :-)

When the movie Titanic came out I made a complete set of paper dolls with dresses I made from books on fashion of 1912.; March 4, 2012 at 9:15:00 PM CST

We love the different time periods as well and even go as far as going to events and dressing up for them!

BLESSED MOTHERHOOD

"Oh that God would give every mother a vision of the glory and splendor of the work that is given to her when a babe is place in her bosom to be nursed and trained! Could she have but one glimpse in to the future of that life as it reaches on into eternity; could she look into it's soul to see its possibilities; could she be made to understand her own personal responsibility for the training of this child, for the development of its life, and for its destiny,--she would see that in all God's world there is no other work so noble and so worthy of her best powers, and she would commit to no others hands the sacred and holy trust given to her." -JR Miller

BUILDING STRONG MARRIAGES

"A true wife makes a man's life nobler, stronger, grander, by the omnipotence of her love 'turning all the forces of manhood upward and heavenward.' While she clings to him in holy confidence and loving dependence she brings out in him whatever is nobles and richest in his being. She inspires him with her courage and earnestness. She beautifies his life. She softens whatever is rude and harsh in his habits or his spirit. She clothes him with the gentler graces of refined and cultured manhood. While she yields to him and never disregards his lightest wish, she is really his queen, ruling his whole life and leading him onward and upward in every proper path. -JR Miller

Making Our Homes a Beautiful Refuge

"Thank God, O women, for the quietude of your home, and that you are queen it it. Men come at eventide to the home; but all day long you are there, beautifying it, sanctifying it, adorning it, blessing it. Better be there than wear a queen's coronet. Better be there than carry the purse of a princess. It may be a very humble home. There may be no carpet on the floor. There may be no pictures on the wall. There may be no silks in the wardrobe; but, by your faith in God, and your cheerful demeanor, you may garniture that place with more splendor than the upholsterer's hand ever kindled." ---Reverend T. DeWitt Talmage, D.D

I Work For a King

"I work for a King. He has put me in charge of his home. When He comes to see how I have managed His possessions and His children, I do not want to be found wanting. I want to do my best. Everything I have is on loan from Him. I have room and board and a job to do, but it is all for Him. Therefore I want to dress my best and do my best in all my work. I also want to be creative, for this is a sincere attempt to glorify Him and His beautiful creation. How I manage my home is a form of worship to Him." --Lydia Sherman
