Pam Hartwell-James
Hosted by Pam Hartwell-James, In Her Shoes was a heartfelt Mother’s Day luncheon that blended good food with even better stories. The event, filled with warmth and remembrance, invited each guest to bring a photo of their mother, grandmother, or another woman who deeply impacted their life.
Pam thoughtfully displayed each photograph, creating a touching visual tribute that set the tone for the day. Guests enjoyed a charming lunch of tea sandwiches, fresh fruit salad, and a show-stopping white chocolate strawberry trifle, which was as sweet as the memories being shared.
Following the meal, each attendee took a moment to introduce her photo and share a personal story honoring the woman in it. From stories of strength and sacrifice to laughter and life lessons, the room became a tapestry of love and legacy.
