If you are new here, you may not know this about me, but I am crazy about dishes. I mean I LOVE dishes. I leave stacks of them about my house, not just in cabinets. It looks like I am always getting ready for a party, and in a way, I am! I’m getting ready […]
Thanksgiving Tablescape with All Things Home Tour
Welcome to Thanksgiving dinner at Cedar Hill Farmhouse!! I like things simple but elegant, and not too much work. And looking at my table I enjoy the history each piece brings to the party. The china belonged to my mother-in-law so I have seen it for years and years. They picked it out […]
Don’t Count Your Cookies Before…
I wanted a special Valentine’s Day post for you, something to make you feel special, something pretty and fun. So, my daughter and I made some heart-shaped cookies with royal icing.

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 […]
Wildflower Party Table
This is the LAST one of my wildflower party posts, seriously. I’ve enjoyed reliving the party here, and it does inspire me to do another party for my friends.
