Updating My Fall Wreath

Posted on: Nov 12, 2014        In: Life and Love        With: No comments
I am not crafty.  It is the truth.  I will try almost any recipe, but trying to paint, scrapbook, make a bow, or do almost any other craft project can put me in a dither.  While sitting in a craft class, I have been known to hyperventilate, break out in a sweat, feel light headed, and wish […]

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 […]

Foxes at the Table – Mrs. Ralph’s Dining Room

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 […]

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 […]

This year there are more pumpkins at The Dallas Arboretum than ever before.  If you missed Pretty Baby sitting in the pumpkin patch you can click HERE.  That was too much fun, but today I wanted to focus on the gorgeous displays during the Fall Festival. Piles and piles of pumpkins, squash, and gourds fill […]

Pretty Baby at the Arboretum

It is Fall Festival time at the Dallas Arboretum, and just like a multitude of other parents and grandparents we wanted to take Pretty Baby for a photo shoot.  As we started on our quest, I had a few misgivings.  It was HOT. (Tied for the hottest day on this date.)  Plus, Pretty Baby had […]

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 […]

Repurposed Brass Plaques

Ideas can take years to incubate.  At least that is what happens to me.  This story began many moons ago.  Was it one year, two years, or more?  I honestly can’t remember.  What I do remember is that one day I found four brass English wall plaques at a thrift store.  They were 75 cents each. […]
