    Linda’s home is even more beautiful and warm and welcoming just like her. I was very privileged to the opportunity to tour her house when she graciously invited me and my boyfriend inside. It was a spur of the moment decision when we decided to detour to OKC to visit her iconic garden. We were welcomed like friends and got to experience the splendor of her beautiful garden and cozy and signature style home. I’m so happy wanted to shoutout from the rooftops but I’ll settle with these posts. Thank you Linda and Jaime ❤

    When I had a larger home, a historic Chicago Bungalow, I went all out for Thanksgiving themed with the style of my house. And the day BEFORE Thanksgiving I actually decorated the whole house for Christmas. As a child the period from Thanksgiving to the New Year for me was when my parents weren't fighting. I came from domestic violence and now at 69 years old, I still associate the season with a feeling of a truce between mom and dad, it was my chance to live a quiet peaceful serene existence for a brief period. My husband passed in 2017 after a long illness and I live in Holland Michigan now living a serene existence near the lake. Memories take me back and I'm grateful for having grown to understand love, gratitude, the gift of life and a renewed appreciation of daily wonders around me DESPITE my history with turmoil. I spend these holidays alone if I choose and I don't apologize for it. I'm satisfied with who I am now and I look forward to simple pleasures...like seeing YOU Linda on the channel! Yeah! AND making my Olde English Christmas cake and my Rose petal Honey lavender shortbread cookies... special recipes that friends and family receive as gifts. So yes...I'm glad you're out there Linda and I'm pleasanty sharing my time with others watching what you'll come up with next!

    What a heartbreaking account to read. I've observed over the years that most people either follow in the footsteps of their parents, or go in an almost opposite direction. I'm glad you decided to go in a different direction when you observed the constant turmoil in the home your parents provided. That is very admirable!

    I love the towel rack you have. It is unique and beautiful. Huge bathroom! About all those pumpkins, will be hard to compost. I think I heard you say they would be composted. If there are any livestock rescue facilities in your state, they would love them as donations for treats for their animals. Just a thought! I have seen just a small composter in your back yard.

    Thanksgiving is at my sister’s house but I do Christmas at mine. I love to set the table for Christmas dinner on Christmas eve. I light candles and take a pretty pic of it to send the family letting them know I’m looking forward to seeing everyone the next day. I would love to set it a couple days early but with a hairy dog and a dusty bird in the house the night before is the best I can do 😊

I’ve been thinking about you lately and how great your are going to be as grandma, or mom-mom (that’s me) or memaw, or whatever name you pick,with Hubbs as grandparents. I can see you in the garden teaching your little one how to plant. Thank you for all your positivity, it really helps in this crazy world we live.

    As a like-minded gardener, I love your new gallery wall in the bathroom. My only suggestion would be to replace that table under it with a dark green or black wooden apothecary-type chest that would serve as much needed storage for your bathroom fundamentals as well as all of the seasonal decor you will undoubtedly be switching out.

    I do not set my table extra early. I usually do it the day of (or the night before if we are having more people over). Every year my table is different. Last year I was much more inspired to decorate. This year I've been very low key and I just haven't had the time to decorate so I figured next year is another year, another opportunity to decorate.
