I didn’t know.  Evidently a lot of people do not know.  In Dallas, Texas at Fair Park is the Texas State Vietnam Memorial, and it has been there twenty-five years come this November.  Live and learn. While standing in line to buy coupons at the State Fair of Texas, I noticed these wreaths.  I left […]

Getting to share my friend Mrs. Ralph’s home has been a treat, and I do thank her for letting me share.  Her home is gorgeous any time of the year, but it seems to thrive in the fall.  Other post have visited her porch, dining room, living room, and breakfast room.  Click on the names […]

Be still my heart.  I LOVE Mrs. Ralph’s breakfast room.  Oh, I am not saying anything new.  I tell everyone how much I enjoy being in this room. The above image will provide you with an overview of this room.  Harlequin wallpaper, paired with the tartan plaid wing back chairs look so good.  The side chairs are […]

Welcome to the State Fair of Texas

We made it to the State Fair of Texas this year by the skin of our teeth. (It closes on Sunday, October 19th.)  I guess better late than never, but…  Okay, we did somewhat better than we did last year when we didn’t even make it to The Fair.  I seriously believe not going to The […]

October Round Table

Posted on: Oct 16, 2014        In: Gatherings        With: No comments
Fall is in the air, and the October Round Table decorations were planned to celebrate the season.  These decorations have to be simple because we set up the morning of the luncheon, and must plan time to plate the food also. A “welcome board” greeted the ladies to our gathering. Since our speaker has written […]

A couple of days ago you were left with this teaser – A wreath gave a hint of things beyond Mrs. Ralph’s front door.  Did you notice the little fox?  Come along and see what is inside. Mrs. Ralph created an unusual fall table filled with natural elements and little foxes. Mrs. Ralph has had Little Fox for […]

Evelyn’s Crustless Broccoli & Cheddar Mini Quiches

As a rookie hostess for the ladies monthly Round Table luncheon, it was a little intimidating to think that our committee was responsible not only for the decorations but also the food.  When I saw that Evelyn was on the hostess list, I breathed a sigh of relief.  Everyone knows that Evelyn is a fantastic […]

Mrs. Ralph’s Porch

Mrs. Ralph – my friend who channels Ralph Lauren in her decorating style  – has decorated for fall, and I get to share.     From the get-go there is a progression of fall eye-candy.  By the steps, urns are filled with crotons and are surrounded by pumpkins.  The bold colorful leaves of the croton plants are […]

Maggie’s Impromptu Photo Session

Sitting royally on the sofa, Maggie appeared ready for a photo session.  Oh, I did not plan a photo session, but Miss Maggie was so regal it seemed the right thing to do.  I ran to get Trusty Camera, and this is what happened. “Look at me.  I am queen of my world.”  First there […]
