The Garden of Life Luncheon was held at Our Lady of the Pillar Catholic Church in Frontenac in their gymnasium. With this luncheon, was an auction and a fashion show. All of the clothes worn at the fashion show were from their second hand store, Twice Blessed. All of the profits go back to the women that they help. With this fashion show, everything that is modeled is available to buy and with some additional stuff they brought on the side.
I got there and started taking pictures of the tables and auction items.
There were lots of cute things for the auction like this cute dog made out of flowers. There were also items made just to sell like handmade cards and necklaces.
All of the ladies got to mill around and bid on the auction items before lunch started. There were all kinds of gift certificates, toys, and home items to look at.
And there was the awesome catered food. Yum-me!
Look at that dessert table...don't worry, it was all gone when the lunch was over.
After lunch was the fashion show, there were so many cute things that people had donated. There were women and girls strutting their stuff on the runway.

The shoes were a little too big for her so she went for comfort instead. |
These two stole the show. |
When everything was said and done , they raised a bunch of money and a lot of people walked away with a lot of nice things. I learned a lot about indoor lighting and my camera. But I have much more to learn.
What a neat function! SO inspiring! Photography indoors is tricky..but you did a great job:)
