It was time for our Fall get together and Miss DD outdid herself again! Always a lovely time and fantastic atmosphere in her English Manor...(I went home and immediately starting cleaning and trying to teach myself to be detailed)
Oh say it
ain't so-this beautiful Thanksgiving book neatly bowed up with chocolate satin ribbon. Her horn
pewter tableware displayed, her husband got these for her he must have an eye for the good things!
Behind her kitchen farmhouse table this wonderful plate rack of blue & white-she also collects cow creamers-love!
Island in the kitchen-fantastic bread boards, wonderful jams, and
scotty shortbread cookies(her Scottie is named Maggie), it's the details that makes a house stand out.
Woodland
spode full of twine-we love twine it's
beautiful to display and convenient to use on almost everything!
This is her "English Manor with a Texas Twist" room-the
hereford hide on the floor mixed with the hide draped across the antique table. Love the large Indian book displayed in the background-so charming!
What a fantastic mount with the
Spode Woodland displayed around him...
Thanks again! The breakfast was wonderful! Happy Birthday
Kieta!
In the Spring of 1988 I was looking to open a business in Plainview, Texas. Going up and down 5th Street quite often I'd always notice this sad little house standing alone and dreary. It inspired me and thoughts of possibilities streamed through my head.
It inspired me and thoughts of possibilities streamed through my head. I bought it and spent four hard long months with a carpenter everyday transforming it's inner beauty into what it is today.
This past year our shop which was built in the 1920's and was originally a tiny farmhouse got a well needed face lift. Stucco on the outside covered the old yellow paint that was chipping, we painted the shutters a bright and vibrant peacock blue...the old lattice fence was torn down around the store and replaced with these painted beam fence. Every spring we plant a row of tomatoes, basil, and rosemary down this fence line. Maybe this summer they will do better pray for rain!
The great guys that did the stucco also placed these beautiful flagstones in various patches to give our shop that European old look. The trim was painted the same color as the stucco so that the whole building would flow together. New awnings were ordered in black and screen printed in cream with Bonnes Amies...
