I love having my own fields of wildflowers, so I can have cut flowers in my house. Something is usually blooming at the ranch from March through to the fall, although not everything works well in a vase. This is Western Yarrow, based on my research.

Sunset Supper
I love my “sittin’ spots” and have spent hours scouting the ranch, for the best locations to hang out. I have several but this one is a real favorite because of the view. I love this spot on our ranch, which I call The High Spot. I call it The High Spot since from an elevation standpoint, it’s the […]
A New Slip for my French Settee

Let’s call her Colette. She’s gorgeous, curvy, and not easy to sew for. People ask me all the time how I make slipcovers, […]

Wildflower Party Vintage Details
I had so much fun planning and setting up for our wildflower party. The sprained ankle (more about that here) I could have done without, but I still had a great time. Now let’s take a look at the BBQ table. (Did you miss the previous posts on the party? No worries, just go to […]
