Also, my shoes for the event. Because you can't be a proper mid-century housewifey hostess without a pair of killer retro heels.

Your mother would be so proud of you!
An easy dessert to add would be Rice Krispie Marshmallow treats. It has the wow factor of "I haven't eaten these since I was a kid!" Just slice them smaller.
Enjoy your party and let us know how it went.0 -

that is a seriously cute pinny. This is mine. The photo doesn't do it justice. It is pink, lacy, and very very flouncy.

If you want one more quick main - Cucumber sandwiches! Either individual on mini-ryes, or on white bread cut in triangles. I love the cream cheese spread with dry Italian seasoning.2

Beautiful dip: red salmon or trout roe in sour cream. remember cocktail parties in D.C. in the 60's. lightly salted potato chips or cucumber ovals. Yum yum.Y'all have fun!

Believe me, the apron situation is well under control– I am a firm believer in in the use of aprons, retro party or no. I've had these two since Senior year of college, both from Jessie Steele– I use the leopard more as it's a little thicker and has a bit of a resistant sheen and use the Paris one more for baking (it's lighter and easier to shake flour from).

So cute. I am a sucker for kitsch (ah, ya think?) And, the effectiveness of an apron is directly proportionate to its flounciness. More material = more debris catching, obviously.
Also, hello, fellow Home Depot shelf owner!

I would say you are ready.....tease up your hair at the crown and put on your pearls too!1 -
For a dessert, there was always the one lime jello recipe with cottage cheese, pineapple and pecans....and sometimes maraschino cherries. Sounds weird, but it was actually pretty amazing. Search Pinterest for "vintage lime jello pineapple" recipe.....0

Growing up with a Kentucky grandmother, I know exactly of what you speak. It turns out ANYONE with a Southern grandmother/auntie knows this recipe– or some variant of– no matter where they grew up. I have friends from CA, NYC, Chicago...and we all know this recipe.
For the record, my grandmother's version was lime Jello, cottage cheese, pistachio, mini marshmallows, topped with Cool Whip. There may have been other ingredients but I could never choke down a single bite in the 18 years I knew my grandmother. Her version was called "Frog Salad". I, for most of those 18 years, assumed it contained actual frog based solely on texture.
I loved my grandmother. But the ideal of the Southern Grandma making the most delicious meals you ever had...doesn't exactly hold up if you actually had one.0
