Because of the long service of the high quality regiments, George Washington, according to tradition, referred to the Maryland units as his "Old Line," giving Maryland one of its nicknames as "The Old Line State. As Washington depended on his Old Line to protect Baltimore from the British, we can now depend on it to help the City and its charities.

Happy Jimmy and Sook winners.
After we had closed up and called it a night...we found a lonely pair of Loubs. It's still a mystery to me how you could leave your Loubs especially when it was 40 degrees outside!
Special thanks to everyone that came out for our first event and supported the Wounded Warrior Project. We couldn't have done it without such generous vendors and business owners. We appreciate the donations from our local restaurants and Maryland steeplechase race contacts. All in all it was a successful and entertaining evening.

Such a good recap of the night. So funny you included the shoes...maybe someone will claim them now!
WOW! I am impressed, what a great event and flawlessly executed, congrats!! You look gorgeous, what a beautiful dress on you, and love the accessories. You're still Miss Maryland to me (and prettier!) Can't believe someone left their Loub's behind! HAHA! You and JCW make such a sweet couple. My hubby loves bowties as well :)
Looks like a successful event! You look fabulous, I love the earrings!Have a great day! xoxo
Looks like a very nice event for a great cause, but the Jim Beam Rye and Bud, as opposed to Pikesville Rye and Natty Boh make me question this group's dedication to the Old Line State :)
I hope someone checked under the tables in case the owner of those shoes was still present.
Looks like great fun and I can't imagine leaving those shoes behind!
Wow, what a great event. You got so many nice and preppy donations!
Congratulations on such a great event! It looks like everyone had a fantastic time.
What a fun event!!
What a fabulous event - congratulations on such a success! How any girl could forget her shoes, nevermind LOUBS, is beyond me!
I'm with Trish but not so lady like about it.
Who has freaking lost their ever loving mind and left their C Lou's behind. Unexcusable.
Now that a fashion f*** up.
Can't wait to get to know you better, we are going to get along just fine. Love my Trish, wouldn't trade her for anything.
Thanks for sharing your fabulous pictures...Your blog is such a delight to read everyday.
I love every single bit of the night- per the norm, you two are such an attractive couple, fabulous swag for the silent auction, sumptuous food and booze spread and I just cannot believe that someone took their Loubs off, much less left them there!
