Wordless Wednesday: My Kind of Party

The writing on the back of this photograph reads "Aunt Boss's birthday".  Aunt Boss was Sarah Elizabeth Conway Dawson (1867-1957) and if this was at her home, the party would would have been in Cocke County, TN.  I believe the woman pictured is Aunt Boss's niece, Selma Sawyer.  This probably was a milestone birthday, leading me to think this was taken in 1947 (too many sweets for 1942 and WW II rationing).
