It should come as no surprise to you, that I found several goodies at Round Top this year, but you won’t believe what I got for $5. Can you tell? Give up? It’s the vintage white lace duvet cover at the foot of my bed. It has lots of pretty details. It’s cotton, not linen, […]
We bought a house!!
Yes, it’s official, we bought a house. I know… I’m as surprised as you are. (Okay you are probably not surprised, but I am. You know me so well.) We are actually building a new house, so there aren’t any photos of it yet, but this house is similar to what ours will look like. […]
Arranging Flowers
The flowers in the pastures were so beautiful last week, that I couldn’t help myself; I cut some fresh flowers for the house. I found myself smiling as I cut the stems and added them to my pitchers. I began to wonder if it was actually possible to be unhappy while arranging flowers. It was […]
Kitchen Envy

Antique Frames, and a Question
The question is not do I frame artwork, but do I put artwork in the frame. That might seem like a strange question to most, but to you, I know it will sound normal. (At that’s why I tell you what I’m doing and not my next-door neighbor.) When I found these on eBay, I […]
Round Top Round Up
Round Top was especially fun for me this time, since I missed it in the spring. I had sprained my ankle the weekend before when we had our pasture picnic at the ranch, so that show was a no-go for me. My friend Caroline went with me this time. We got lots of goodies, that […]
Antique Iron Bed
I was looking on Craigslist minding my own business, when I found an antique iron bed for $60. Okay, so maybe I didn’t NEED a new-to-me antique iron bed, but this one was really cute and believe it or not, I had a place for it — on my back porch. Some of you are […]
