Bring back tea parties! We've found the most charming tea party ideas to inspire you and your friends to bring them back this year.
You may have noticed that my blog posts have been a bit sporadic. We have been busy with fall projects, work and of course the usual hours of weekly garden chores. Life in the fall is usually a slower simple rhythm the days grow shorter the sun dips lower and thankfully the temperature has fallen a bit But then...."change" that crazy little devil knocked on my door and I knewI was really in for it About a month ago I got a call from a friend and neighbor who happens to be a realtor. She asked me if we would consider selling our little ranchette here in Ojai. Now let me say this....we have thought about selling a few times before but never really got too carried away with the notion. The allure of the land and my love of the gardens was just too much of a tug at my heart. Owning a large property with orchards, oaks and gardens of all sizes can be wonderful but it can seem at times, a never-ending to-do list. It has definitely kept us busy! And loving a house like this is really quite easy, especially when it gives back great rewards I have become the gardener that I never knew I could be...without really knowing it and learning the do's and don'ts along the way. Its not really hard, it just takes time to find a good balance of time, energy and enjoyment I have also become a florist of sorts mostly arranging the simplest of things...sometimes even weeds I have found much solice in clipping and arranging and just walking this property to find a bloom or two to put in an old jar...it is truly a therapy for me I can't seem to have too many flowers in this house and always find time to create another, however simple Birds and animals have been my constant companions and have taught me a love of nature I will never be without I will always view birds, animals and insects with fascination and enjoyment Having a dog like Millie here has been wonderful and I will never forget her! She had become a country dog for sure! Never with out dirt, fleas or something weird and mossy attached to her fur and her paws which... well who knows what they are... but in the house they come.... riding long with Millie The garden and fruit trees have provided an incredible opportunity to test my skills as a cook and to truly learn the lessons of stainable growing and how to use vegetables and fruit in more creative ways than I ever thought possible Eating from the garden will turn you into a cook even if you think you aren't one! Some of my very best meals have been created using the hodgepodge of little orphans that pop up on a daily basis If you have a garden...grow what you like to eat and cook what you grow Let the harvest shape the meal and let the flavors do their thing with out over cooking and seasoning The very best chefs know that great food is simple food and simple is easy eating a warm tomato right off the vine is my favorite snack along with a fresh peach, a crunchy radish, a green apple, a juicy lemon....etc and herbs have become much more than a savory seasoning I have learned to use them as a treat for breakfast an appetizer for lunch and the star of a salad at dinner The compost bin has been a great inspiration to us and we have learned from start to finish about soil, and all of the good things that can be found right under your nose if you look hard enough Soil preparation is the backbone of a great garden It's also the most labor intensive part of gardening Talking about gardening is great but the process is quite a bit harder Most of our weekends are spent working the soil to make sure we don't over water and to nourish the plants in the most beneficial way possible worms and all the living soil dwellers are our friends and the trees and shrubs thrive on the rich healthy compost we churn out each month It takes time to get it right but when you do great things happen The daily swing on the old gliders with a glass of wine or cup of coffee is something of a ritual for us even though we don't sit to long The gravel drive became more of a path...leading the way to beautiful trees, grassy lawns and large pots and tables with flowers places to linger and watch the birds and squirrels Dining outside is alway so wonderful and I wish we had more long lunches and breakfast like this one Decorating this little house....often using cast off treasures and quirky collections has been tons of fun used "stuff" much of it not at all valuable or actually needed found a home here camp blankets and quilts bottles and books wicker and wood much just a mish mash of little things, not an important antique but well loved and cherished none the less and the holidays always bring in more color and green than my usual daily arrangements the tangerine trees are loaded this time of year and so orange becomes a yearly part of my holiday decor Re imagining a county kitchen was a joy and I love this small kitchen with its simple plan and useable features and best of all it is wonderful to cook in what I like most about this kitchen is that even though many of the elements are very different they all blend nicely together and I must t certainly thank those that have come through the front door...slammed the screen and helped create this home many are friends and many are family we have enjoyed the company of new guests and interesting people who happen to have found their way here for what ever reason thats what a country house does it open its doors and shares wonderful memories you come in you sit down and it just feels like home thank you to all of the stylists and photographers who seemed to like this house and for giving us an incredible opportunity to share it with others so now we are giving it to a new family someone who is starting fresh on her own new journey....a bit more polished than when we first began but there is still much to do here the new owner has purchased the house furnished and much of the little collections, old pillows and small treasures will stay with the house too so what is next for us....? right now we are taking a breather and have rented a very modern condo in a down town city location....and we don't have anything to sit on!!!! Does that sound familiar? I don't even have a house plant yet!! I hope to share that journey too something different yet similar because it's a house story it will have gardens and tress....just not so many! And it might not be in the country but we will shape it into something unique and comfortable no matter where it is as always....thanks for stopping by a new adventure begins! xo

Celebrate Mother's Day by hosting a Mother's Day Tea with simple, beautiful afternoon tea recipes, and a gathering of her favorite people. Whether it's a tea party of two, an outdoor picnic, or a garden party, she will know how special she is.
I am a mother of two lovable children who mean the world to me. However, at this time of year with Mother's Day quickly approaching, I can't help but also reflect on the precious memories I had with my own mother. Mom passed on many years ago, but I can definitely say that I had been truly blessed with a loving mother who, in addition to being my mom, later became my good friend. What also reminds me of my mom besides this special day of the year that celebrates all moms is all of the planning and debating that takes place regarding what to plant in the garden each season. My mom was an excellent cook and did a great amount of canning and freezing. She was raised on a farm and was one of thirteen children in her family to work the family farm which grew vegetables and raised dairy cows for milk. And although she and my father decided to have a large family of their own too, the yard just didn't seem big enough like the childhood farm to grow everything which was needed. Instead we made frequent trips to the weekly farmer's market for additional bushels of fruits and vegetables, bundles of herbs and flowers and large quantities of farm fresh eggs and chickens for roasting and making soup. As I write this post, I swear I can smell the fresh scent of dill and vinegar for canning cucumbers into pickles and I can hear the "pop," "pop" as the mason jars are lifted from their bath water, cooled and sealed shut. As I reflect on these cherished memories, I decided to honor my mother and the memories and make my Mother's Day tablescape in this week's post a representation of the healthy, simple, homesteading life of my mom. What goes well with a hardy bowl of Mom's Homemade Tomato Vegetable Soup for a Mother's Day lunch than some Dilly Cheese and Cucumber Butterfly Sandwiches filled with garden fresh dill, cool cucumbers and juicy tomatoes. Of course, it wouldn't be a garden without some flowers too. These cool and refreshing flowers are made with watermelon with cantaloupe centers. They are great to eat as they are or can be dipped in a marshmallow cream cheese dip. There are visitors in the garden. Bumble Bees and ladybugs are out and about making the back yard colorful and busy. And perhaps some delicate Pecan Bird Nest Cookies made with local farm fresh butter and filled with chocolate eggs for dessert. Lastly, I came across the following poem one day and decided to save it and share it in this specific post since I felt it was so appropriate for Mother's Day and Father's Day. For me, this poem reinforces what I already experienced myself watching my own children grow up. It can only reaffirm my belief that I was very fortunate to have witnessed their entire cherished upbringing and loved and delighted in every minute of it. Their growth into adulthood was inevitable and I couldn't stop the time that went by all too quickly as they developed from child to adult. But as one of many parents in the world who watched their children mature and leave home for a life on their own, I realized that I will forever be among many others who also yearn for "just one more day of last times." Happy Mother's Day........ The Last Time (www.shareably.net) From the moment you hold your baby in your arms, you will never be the same. You might long for the person you were before, When you had freedom and time, And nothing in particular to worry about. You will know tiredness like you ever knew it before, And days will run into days that are exactly the same, Full of feedings and burping, Nappy changes and crying, Whining and fighting, But don’t forget…. There is a last time for everything. There will come a time when you will feed your baby for the very last time. They will fall asleep on you after a long day And it will be the last time you ever hold your sleeping child. One day you will carry them on your hip, then set them down, And never pick them up that way again. You will scrub their hair in the bath one night And from that day on they will want to bathe alone. They will hold your hand to cross the road, Then never reach for it again. They will creep into your room at midnight for cuddles, And it will be the last night you ever wake to this. One afternoon you will sing “the wheels on the bus” and do all the actions, Then never sing them that song again. They will kiss you goodbye at the school gate, The next day they will ask to walk to the gate alone. You will read a final bedtime story and wipe your last dirty face. They will one day run to you with arms raised, for the very last time. The thing is, you won’t even know it’s the last time until there are no more times, and even then, it will take you a while to realize. So while you are living in these times, remember there are only so many of them and when they are gone, you will yearn for just one more day of them. For one last time.
