Sweet Southern Pies and Porch Swings...

Sweet Southern Vintage things are on my mind tonight...

Like old hymns and paper fans.

Makes me want to throw on a ruffle-y retro apron and bake a sweet buttermilk pie and a PEE-CAN pie...

Or How about the lazy creaking of a porch swing a-rockin'?

I've always wanted some willow wood porch furniture. It's so rustic and unique.

This pretty vintage Southern belle dress is sublimely ethereal, I can picture it with gloves and pearls!

How about some iced tea? We drink it year round down here in Texas yawl! And it better be fresh brewed. None of that instant nonsense. You don't know how many times my mother said she missed Texas tea when we lived up north.  I have a special place in my heart for the Luby's Cafeteria tea ladies.

Or a big old farm table to gather 'round and snap green beans for supper. I love a table that is so timeworn that it takes a beating everyday but only gets more beautiful because of it.

Welcome to Week 39 of The Cowgirl Up! Link Party!

Welcome to Week 39

of

The Cowgirl Up! Link Party!

1 Party, 4 Blogs  

Your Host this week is . . .

Anita at Cedar Hill Ranch

I've been super busy lately.  One reason is that we just bought a new place close to Mr. CH's office and are building a new house. If you missed the post, you can find it here.  It will look something like the one below.  I'm pinning like crazy, so if you want to see my inspiration boards, you can find the one for the house here and the kitchen one here.

This should keep me busy for awhile.  I started to say "out of trouble" but I"m not sure that would be accurate!  Case in point, Mr. CH has already asked in an accusing sort of way if I was going to start buying stuff for the new house now, although it won't be ready until April or May.  I said, "Of course not," exasperated that he would ask such a ridiculous question... I mean.... the nerve!!!  I continued, "The new house won't be ready for months, and we don't have room to store anything extra."  (To quote George from Seinfeld, "It's not a lie, if YOU believe it.")  And I did believe it... at the time, but to date I have purchased one large mirror, a console and a bookcase for the new house, and maybe a few other things.  #slappingmyownhand.
