with Tout le Monde attending
(or anyone who is anyone in Orient).
The first Saturday is August, Orient turns out for a festive and stylish party in Poquatuck Park. The white tents are up, the seafood bar overflows with shrimp, clams and oysters and the wine flows.
It's the annual Oysterponds Historical Society Benefit, with not only socializing, but also a wonderful auction of art produced by local artists. OHS, with seven historical buildings in the center of Orient village, is the repository of over 30,000 documents, photographs, art and archival objects with ties to Orient and East Marion. OHS has programs for families and youth, and also hosts community events throughout the year including unique exhibitions in the Schoolhouse gallery.
I am wearing a dress by Archerie in lawn cotton.
It is an absolute joy to wear. It's light and cool and
does not wrinkle. I stuck a flower from Jeanne's garden and
a vintage feather in this old straw fedora and thought it perfect.

de rigueur mode of transportation.
Jeanne is wearing a floral frock
which she acquired from the Marie Eiffel shop
on Shelter Island.
Susan is lovely in a powder blue
dress with pink roses and a new hat
from a Greenport shop.
Jeanne had one of her ink drawings
on offer in the auction.
