“Being a mother is the absolute greatest joy of my life,” Jennifer Graves told the intimate gathering at Elizabeth Anthony, her mother Julie Roberts’ high-style boutique in Uptown. The comment came in a discussion that launched the “Mother, Daughter, Sister, Friend” luncheon held in honor of Mother’s Day
Before a three course lunch from Tony’s restaurant, Roberts and Graves (a relatively new mom) were interviewed by Elizabeth Anthony’s Arden Harkreader White, herself the mother of a 2-year-old and a 9-month-old.
Launching the brief discussion on motherhood, White quipped, “I am in the depths of the motherhood journey.”
In her comments Roberts noted, “Children are not a distraction from the most important work. Children are the most important work.”
The gathering was well received, something that Roberts had anticipated as she shared that this event was just the start of something bigger geared around making a philanthropic impact.
“It is my plan and my vision to really grow this event,” Roberts shared with the ladies as they sipped on their San Marzano tomato, basil and burrata soup. “Today is intimate. We do have a nice group of 48 ladies. But I have the vision for turning this into something that is really important to our city for many years to come.

“We will search for the right charity partner for that and I want all of you there.”
While the group finished their Tony’s lunch of roasted Airline chicken and flourless chocolate cake with Belgian chocolate ganache, fashion models paraded through showing a must-have collection of spring and summer ensembles and evening gowns.
In the sweetest turn on the Mother’s Day theme, professional model Diana Hare was accompanied in the fashion presentation by her daughter Emi Ganchev, an up-and-coming model.
