Friend Mrs. Ralph has touches of fall throughout her home.  I love seeing her autumn decor and and SO appreciate her letting me share with you.  If you missed her Foxes dining room table, click HERE to see it or click HERE to see her front porch. See why I call her Mrs. Ralph – so […]

Ann and Rebekah’s Home Tours

Posted on: Oct 5, 2014        In: Life and Love        With: No comments
A big shout out to Ann and Rebekah.  I asked you to send me pictures of your fall decor, and they did. Not surprisingly, their autumn displays are much, much  better than mine.  I promised I would share, and I am thrilled to let you tour their homes. Both Ann and Rebekah have homes that are […]

Fall Entry

Posted on: Oct 3, 2014        In: Life and Love        With: No comments
Have a welcoming entry. Do not let your entry be an afterthought. An entry needs to welcome guest and make them feel at home. Be sure your home makes a good first impression. These are the type of statements made by designers.  In fact, some designers might make the entry decor their top priority.   Trouble is – […]

First Monday Trade Days – Canton, Texas

Posted on: Sep 1, 2014        In: Out and About        With: No comments
It had been a long long time since I had visited one of my true loves – First Monday Trade Days in Canton, Texas.  Usually August is NOT the month to visit the world famous, humongous flea market, but … it wasn’t a terribly hot day (for August), and we thought we would give it a try. Metal […]

Rooster Brunch for the Builders and Boomers

Posted on: Jul 23, 2014        In: Gatherings        With: No comments
There is a group of ladies at First Baptist Church Richardson known as the Builders and Boomers, and they have become known as a group of fun loving women – or is it loving fun women?  Either way – you get the message.  Rebekah (an amazing lady) organized a group of these women to come join […]

Be still my heart!  Sweet Mother of Pearl!  My, oh my, oh my! Linda was gracious and invited the Living Stones to her home for the Annual Christmas party.  Her home is beautiful, and (I kid you not!) everywhere you looked there were gorgeous decorations.  The big plus is –  I have pictures to share. […]

Sarah’s Living Room

Yes, I love Sarah’s back yard. You can read about it HERE.  As I mentioned before, fellowshipping around the table in Sarah’s backyard made me feel like I had stepped into a decorator magazine.  We were living the good life.  Of course, the day was perfect, and getting to be with dear friends from the […]

More Touches of Fall

Posted on: Oct 10, 2013        In: Life and Love        With: No comments
This is the way I remember it, and I am sticking to my story. Educational movies were not abundant back in the early 1950’s.  The schools in Andrews were certainly “modern” by the standards of the day, and they had a movie projector – but few movies to show. The teachers showed the same movies […]

Touches of Fall at The Mrs.

Posted on: Oct 4, 2013        In: Gatherings        With: No comments
Beautiful – Absolutely beautiful!  Seeing touches of autumn at The Mrs.’ home made my heart go pity-pat. Oh, how I loved the pumpkin topiaries that greeted us at the front door.  I kept walking outside just to look at them. It could not have been easy to find the right shape, color, and size of […]

Autumn Tablescape

The days are cooler, and it is official autumn.  I thought it time I got out a little of my “fall decor”.  Honestly, there are only a few touches of fall so far, but I thought I would share what is happened in the dining room. I love white pumpkins and have bought several through […]
