Hello Kindred Spirits...
it's been a difficult week for so many of us....
the world lost the sweetest soul, our Dolly Parton..
and parts of our beautiful Texas experienced horrific wildfires.....
I thought I would share a little catch up post as we focus on
autumn....progress has been made here at Estelle's....

The family room is being transformed....

The formal dining room shows off a bird theme which I most always
love to do....early autumn

I love the first edition of Candy Corn.....
And, the bar cart sports a romantic botanical fall theme....
The entryway tables featured soft fall artwork accented with
velvet pumpkins along with acorns and my glittered pheasant....

I love displaying my grandmother's goblet filled with acorns,
alongside a pumpkin and woodland art
I fell in love with the toile pumpkin
which is part of the fall collection
from My Texas House

Lucy and I decorated the little guest bedroom....
new pillow covers, a soft cozy throw and art.....
OVER IN ATLANTA....
Luke attended a Braves game with his friend, Lucas and his Dad...
always a good time....
always a good time....
He works hard which allows him to buy clothes he really enjoys wearing
We were shocked and simply heartbroken to learn of
the passing of Dolly Parton.....
she has been a part of my life since childhood...
I began watching her when she first started out
on The Porter Wagoner show long before color TV....
Dolly was a special gift from God

So, in her honor, I made one of her recipes....
The Butterscotch Pie...and it is just delicious!
Texas has been battling horrific wildfires this week....
This is smoke billowing in the distance from
the ranch....

Please remember to pray for all affected by this tragedy...
Praying for that good soaking rain, Betsy! I loved Dolly, too. What a gift of music she had! I like what your doing for fall in your home.
ReplyDeleteDolly has been a part of my life too since I was young, and I’m originally from the Midwest! I was so shocked and saddened by the news of her passing. I’ve been following the news of the fires up your way. My daughter is in Arlington this week, attending a conference. I always look forward to the beautiful photos that you post on your header at the beginning of each month. 😊 It just started raining here in The Woodlands, so I hope it heads up your way soon.
ReplyDeleteI searched for her recipe, but there were none that looked like your pie. We need rain here in Mississippi. Hopefully, suppose to get some today and Friday.
