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 […]
Wildflower Party Buffet Line
When I first started planning this party, I pictured a long table in a field of bluebonnets with the table all set with beautiful plates, silverware and glassware and cloth napkins, all elegantly displayed in the setting sun. Then reality set in. […]
Ironing Board turned Sideboard
Yes it may look like an antique ironing board, but it’s my new sideboard for serving dessert and other yummy things. I found it at Round Top last fall for about $20. Mr CH brought the little azalea bush home recently so I thought it would be perfect here. I love having fresh flowers around. These […]
Impromptu Table Centerpiece
What do you do for a centerpiece when you decide at the last minute to invite guests to your house? It was my daughter’s sixteenth birthday party. We were going bowling (her choice not mine) and then to her favorite restaurant for dinner. Then at the last minute she said she REALLY, REALLY wanted everyone […]
One Last Christmas Party

Dressed in White

The cloth napkins are actually Ikea dish towels. I love using these towels for napkins, since they are so […]
Woodlands Retreat Redo
Thanks for hanging in here with me. I have been away for a few weeks. Hubby needed a vacation since his mom’s passing, and we needed to check on her North Carolina mountain cabin. (More about that later!) I am back, but still pretty tied up with estate stuff, and being a mom. My fifteen-year-old […]
Surprise Woodland Breakfast
Before it got so blasted hot here, I planned a surprise for my teenager daughter, breakfast for the two of us back in the woods at Cedar Hill. It was quite a hike from the house, so I kept the table simple, since I could only carry so much. Months earlier, I had found this wondeful table […]
