More fun began when Jorene and I hit the streets of downtown Weatherford. I was shocked how many shops there were. Basically we shopped York and Main Streets which are side streets to the square. First stop was in a most unusual boutique called Something Special. Sherry O’ creates hand painted shirts (she is wearing […]
Oh Where, Oh where Has my platter gone? Oh where, oh where can it be? It is oval and brown and goes on the shelf. Oh where, oh where can it be? (To the tune of OhWhere, Has My Little Dog Gone. Please humor me and pretend it works.) Even the dogs on the shelf […]
Dear friend Marsha is my number one cheerleader. She often comments on my posts, and gives me encouragement. Her comment name is marshachristmas. Isn’t that precious? Every time I am with her I feel like I have received a gift. She is one remarkable woman, and I am proud to know her. A little over […]
Julie is my friend Mrs. Ralph’s good friend. Julie is young, successful, pretty, funny, and an all around wonderful person. Julie and Mrs. Ralph are on the same page when it comes to decorating. Last year Julie visited the MacKenzie Childs’ store in New York City, and she was inspired. Mind you, her home was […]
For more years than I can count, a group of friends called “The Buds” have reserved the first Friday in December to go on the Lake Highlands Women’s League Holiday Home Tour. It is our favorite home tour, and we have visited some take your breath away homes on these tours. While I was teaching, […]
Let it be known that there is no doubt that great-niece Avery is Super Sister’s granddaughter. Avery is so creative and even at her young age, she can make and do almost anything. (Just like SS was.) As soon as we arrived at Carson’s party, Super Sister said, “You have got to to see Avery’s […]
In the last couple of days, Super Sister and Mikel (Number One Son’s wife) have created impressive (That is an understatement.) Christmas decor for their front doors. I have to share their creations with you. Perhaps you will be inspired, and make something remarkable for your front portal. Mikel created this mesh Christmas wreath. My, […]
A visit to Super Sister’s home is always wonderful. I am here to tell you that it is better than going to a bed and breakfast. Be still my heart! This is what I saw when I drove into her driveway. If you want to be inspired by fall decor, this is the place to […]
Sounds a little creepy doesn’t it – “There are eyes in the bushes.” (Just say it in you best Lon Chaney voice.) Number One Son pointed these out to me on Pinterest (Thrifty Crafty Girl) some time ago, and I have been saving toilet paper rolls ever since. To have eyes hiding in the bushes on […]
Blame it on Pinterest. My fall board is full of gorgeous fall decorations. Blame it on The Christmas Tree Shops – They were selling pumpkins in early September. Blame it on the weather – It turned almost cold. Fall was in the air. Blame it on the Dallas Arboretum and their 50,000 pumpkins. This year I […]
