While in rehab, Super Sister and her precious granddaughters, Sadie and Aubrey, made me the prettiest cupcakes. I did not call these Valentine cupcakes because they were sent to me with love, and not for Valentine’s Day. Be still my heart. The red, pink, and white decorations were beyond beautiful. As you can tell, each cupcake […]
How do you decorate a winter table? If your home is like mine, Christmas is put away, and there are blank spaces on tabletops and shelves. This is not the case for my friend sweet Janet who can do everything perfectly. Recently she hosted our ADK meeting, and her dining room table was absolutely stunning. I […]
Christmas is over. There were to be no more Christmas post, but then Super Sister came to visit with images of a Christmas luncheon that was held at Hill Country Bible Church in Austin, Texas. The December luncheon is an outreach ministry of this large church. Neighbors and friends are invited to celebrate the season and hear […]
From the moment you walk up the steps to Mrs. Ralph’s home, you get a clear impression of what awaits you inside. Her beautiful home has an off-set entry, and thus it has need for decorations on the walk and by the front door. Be still my heart. I love the large urns by […]
The Jeffersons are a group of ladies that have been friends for many many moons, and they enjoy celebrating birthdays and holidays together throughout the year. For our annual Jefferson Christmas Party, we were invited to Mrs. Ralph’s home. (Mrs. Ralph is my friend who channels Ralph Lauren in her decorating style.) Needless to say, […]
Mikel is Number One Son’s sweet wife, and she is a woman after my own heart. She loves to decorate for Christmas. We stopped by their home a few days ago, and I had to get Trusty Camera. In the midst of practicing and singing in the church’s Carols’ presentation, she found time to display […]
Each year I can get bawl-eyed when I put out Christmas decorations. Here are just a few of my favorite Christmas things. Oh, there are many more, but…. This year I put an arrangement on the bench in our “entry”. I do not think I have ever decorated this space before, and I think I […]
The decor at the Richardson Women’s Club is classic and beautiful. Their brochure describes the home as “a country estate for meetings and celebrations”. The clubhouse was built in the 1930’s as a private country home. It has been renovated and expanded several times. In 1969, the City of Richardson obtained the property when they […]
Dear friends came over to celebrate our nation’s birthday. When planning for the gathering, I wanted to keep things simple, but still festive. American flags and bunting welcomed our guest to the celebration. An Old Glory pillow was a good resting place for the patriotic Humpty Dumpty. I have had him a bazillion years, and […]
Happy Independence Day. Bang, Bang, Boom! I love this holiday. I met Ever-Lovin’ on July 4th in Palo Dura Canyon. I am not sure it was even a blind date – we were both tagging along with mutual friends. That being said – this has always been a favorite holiday for us, and we enjoy […]
