This past year we remodeled our kitchen and I will be giving you a tour soon.

Hello Spring! I really love Spring, who wouldn't when it brings such beauty to our gardens? I'd love to share what's currently blooming in mine.
This is a David Austin Rose, named Olivia Rose Austin after his granddaughter. My daughter Kim gave me this rose , it's in it's 3rd year now and has so many blooms on it and it's gotten stronger each year, Sometimes David Austin roses hang Teresa@magazineyourhomehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11942419475107361902noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8618276718979388758.post-90016064177281941212019-03-15T02:45:00.001-05:002019-03-15T03:08:01.305-05:00A Bit of Spring Decor and Update on Toby
Just a few touches of Spring around the house in hopes of hurrying it along.
I got thiis frame with the wreath & bunny from Hobby Lobby, Placing it on a larger wreath gave it a little more presence. I added some pink flowers, carrots and a little Bless this House sign.
Added a pretty little flower arrangement, a bunny and candle to 'Spring Up' the coffee table.

I've been working on a quilt for my daughter and her husband and FINALLY finished it!
Toby helped with the design decisions so it was a group effort.
It's a California King so yes, lots of material.
I sent it out for quilting to an amazing Longarm Quilter Tamara Bobbitt of
FOXTAIL QUILTING
she also does T Shirt & Memory Quilts!
Here it is on the quilting rack...

I really like tiered trays, they provide organization and add vertical space to display the things you love.
Here are a few ways that I've used tiered trays in our home.
I really love having lots of plants around, especially inside when it's cold and dreary outside.
The tiered trays give me extra room for more plants in a smaller space, win win.
I like adding little decor itemsTeresa@magazineyourhomehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11942419475107361902noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8618276718979388758.post-31846410407631678972019-01-04T17:23:00.002-06:002019-01-04T18:37:48.656-06:00My Daughter the Cake Artist
Have I ever told you about my amazing daughter Rebecca, well I have three amazing daughters and two amazing sons but this post is about my youngest. She's been interested in baking for as long as I can remember and many years ago her dreams came true and she opened Baking Sweet Memories featuring cupcakes, breads, cakes and other goodies.

Hello Blog Friends, if anyone is still following me I just want to say that's AMAZING considering the fact that I haven't posted in well over a year!
Yes, I'm still here and I do still pop in on your blogs to see how you're doing.
For those who remember that my husband Toby had been battling cancer I would like to give you all an update. Just to recap and bring you up to date Toby Teresa@magazineyourhomehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11942419475107361902noreply@blogger.com18tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8618276718979388758.post-25903969603989920772017-07-19T20:51:00.000-05:002017-07-20T00:38:03.329-05:00Way Too Hot
Texas summers melt human beings! And it's going to get even hotter next month, ugh. So that's why I get up early in the morning to water my plants and do any yard work that needs to be done. Anytime past 9 am the sun and humidity threatens to do you in. I barely made it inside today and when I did I went straight to the sink to splash cold water on my face and neck, ugh.

Thanks for stopping by the other day and leaving comments. I was wondering that after such a long absence from blogging if anyone was still following. So I was so happy to see some familiar 'faces'. Most of you have only seen my home when we first bought it and it was empty. I thought it was time I showed you some of the inside. It has taken me forever to put my house together, I just haven't Teresa@magazineyourhomehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11942419475107361902noreply@blogger.com18tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8618276718979388758.post-48115961044140903292017-07-12T20:32:00.000-05:002017-07-15T21:10:07.368-05:00A Long Time Coming
This post has been a long time in coming as life has a way of changing your direction and priorities. First I want to give you all an update on Toby. A month ago he had an MRI which showed that the cancer had advanced dramatically which we pretty much predicted it had. As before the Dr again said there were no more options such as surgery or chemo that would help so he suggested a Teresa@magazineyourhomehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11942419475107361902noreply@blogger.com30tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8618276718979388758.post-49648873552184610082016-05-25T20:08:00.000-05:002016-05-25T21:31:16.152-05:00Things Are Growing
So just a quick look at how things are growing out back. It's a big change, when we moved in six months ago there was nothing growing except the trees. I don't think anyone ever planted a single flower on the property, so sad. Out home in Alabama had very mature beautiful plants every where. Azaleas, gardenias, iris's, pecan tree, pomegranate bushes, holly etc.
It just seemed so Teresa@magazineyourhomehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11942419475107361902noreply@blogger.com10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8618276718979388758.post-78374387414829965892016-05-25T11:05:00.002-05:002016-05-25T11:05:18.662-05:00Oh My Deer
While sitting on my front porch yesterday I looked up to see this.....
Do you see them?
I only had my phone on hand so I snapped this pic, not the best but I really wanted to get it.
The little bambies went from yard to yard for their evening dinner.
I definitely need to keep my good camera on the ready the next time.

I've always been on the lookout for objects to use in the garden the aren't normally considered yard art. At our Alabama farmhouse I used some not so ordinary objects like this old moving dolly turned plant box holder.
Toby just built some boxes to fit, I filled them with flowers and we leaned it up against a Pecan tree.

I've been spending some time in our backyard planning a rose garden. I used to have a beautiful rose garden when I lived in California and for some reason when we moved to Alabama I never planted any roses. I've really missed the beauty and the fragrance is heavenly. So I've decided to start working on a rose garden in our backyard in Texas. I can't plant any out front due to roses being high Teresa@magazineyourhomehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11942419475107361902noreply@blogger.com17tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8618276718979388758.post-31642947277606408592016-04-06T16:46:00.000-05:002017-05-28T14:44:25.825-05:00Peace on the Porch
The weather in southeast Texas is wonderful right now. I know it won't stay that way long so Toby and I are getting out side as much as we can. We live in a very peaceful and quiet neighborhood and we are taking full advantage of the nice days.
My daughters bought us this comfy set to relax on and relax we do!

Hello friends, we finally retrieved our furniture from Alabama and I've been busy unpacking boxes.
Toby is regaining his strength and we will be going back for more scans soon.
I want to thank you for your prayers and sweet emails during my absence from blogging.
I think about all of you so often and someday hope to get back in to blogging regularly, time will tell.

So I haven't posted in a long long time. I can't explain why,I think one reason is because I couldn't find the energy. I know it wasn't fair to all of you who so faithfully prayed and followed our story with Toby's cancer so please forgive me. I just couldn't keep posting about it, it became too hard. His cancer is back and it has invaded the nerves in his brain.

Along with my obsession with farm animals that I posted about HERE
I've discovered I have an obsession with cloches too!
Wire cloches
Glass cloches
Litte cloches
Big cloches
Cloches to hold dishes
And more dishes
and even toilet tissue :)
Do you love cloches? What type of things do you 'cloche'?

I would have one of these cow heads in every room if my husband would let me!
I don't know what it is about cows. Perhaps it's the soulful eyes or the gentleness they portray, whatever it is, I love them! This one was done by the fabulous Cindy Austin from Pinkgloves2

As some of you may remember my husband and I moved into his family's 94 year old home a year and a half ago.
We have been slowly fixing it up and in the process have found many treasures lurking in the attic and the garage that also has an attic.
Yesterday while digging through some things in the garage I found some more treasures and wanted to share them with you.
It's an old brass fire Teresa@magazineyourhomehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11942419475107361902noreply@blogger.com12tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8618276718979388758.post-63284654978510255232015-01-16T18:39:00.000-06:002015-01-16T18:39:23.173-06:00Dining Room Terrariums and Decor
