Patiently Waiting…….
Well here I am patiently waiting for the framers. My contractor RL Brim of www.karltbrimconstruction.com let me know me that we are waiting for the wood package to arrive. Waiting isn't always the easiest thing to do for me. I'm like the rest of our culture and I want my food to heat up...
Flower Heart
These are a few more finds from www.JunkintheTrunkVintageMarket.com There are a variety of metal flowers, metal tags and two metal crosses. I love to move the ones with magnets on and off metal buckets and cans that I am decorating with. Some I can glue on to a decor item such as a frame to...
Metal Leaf
What can one do with a metal leaf you may ask? Well look at how cute this is! I bought several of these wonderful leaves from the www.junkinthetrunkvintagemarket.com. They caught my eye in a giant version that was up on a wall with tree branches and twine around them. At the moment I opted for...
Sweet and Adorable
I went to Junk in the Trunk Vintage Market this weekend. It was nothing less than fabulous! What I fell in love with was baby girl diaper covers! These are the cutest diaper covers ever! I don't have any granddaughters and no new baby girl friends but couldn't pass these up to share with you...
Chocolate Carmel Birthday Cake
In honor of Torey's birthday we kicked off fall at our house! Torey has always been our "chocolate baby". Since I can remember she has loved chocolate. Every kind of chocolate at any time of the day or night! So for her birthday I made her this chocolate, chocolate cake. If you haven't...
Fall Flowers
These flowers put me right in the middle of fall, even though it's still hot in Arizona! I was grocery shopping for Torey's birthday and thought these will make such a perfect fall centerpiece for her birthday dinner. If you're like me grocery store flowers is your best bet for getting flowers...
A New Color!
My builder and I finally got our sample of our metal roof. It is Galvalume metal roofing. I wanted the natural "tin roof" color. So we kept asking the roofer what the color was called. He kept repeating Galvalume. Neither of us had heard of this color name before. I don't think the big box of...
Pasture Turned Pad
Here is a look at the pasture as we start the tractor work. We kept our cattle grazing in this area so they are in a new pasture now as we begin the dirtwork. The pad gets built up with outside dirt so all the grading of the dirt will be the same. There are inspections that go along with this step...
Front Door Fall Shoes
When I saw these shoes I knew I couldn't walk out of the store without them. They kept calling my name.......Carrie, Carrie, Carrie and when I responded I said "certainly I won't leave you here without an owner." So here they are.....the cutest fall shoes ever at my new farmhouse front door! I...
Small Touches….Big Impact
We really want our house to be friend and family "friendly" so it was important to us to have the house accessible for wheelchairs and folks that might be a little challenged with steps. So you can see in these photos that the front door has a gradual slope to it so that there is no threshold...
Indoor Plumbing
The invention of indoor plumbing is a good one! Boy am I glad I don't have to go outside in the middle of the night! So it was very interesting to see how the plumbers laid all the lines for the water and sewer before the concrete is poured. At this point your water gets hooked up and you can...
Petite Apple Pie
These little pop-in-your-mouth apple pie bites are delicious and easy, easy, easy to make! They only take 3 ingredients. One can of apple pie filling, one refrigerated pie crust, and a can of vanilla frosting. I rolled out the pie dough, cut it into small circles to fit into the mini-cupcake pan...
Torey’s Wedding Party
The blushing bride is Torey! Her bridesmaids are her cousins and her maid of honor is her sister Whitney. We all just loved this color palette! It was a hot July day in Arizona and the pictures turned out beautiful! The flowers are by Faith and Flowers of Buckeye. Do the colors remind you of...
Fall Pumpkin Bread
It was a rainy cloudy day so I decided it must be time to make Pumpkin Bread. I just love all things pumpkin and these tasty little candy corns are delicious anytime! Enjoy the end of summer and beginning of fall! A loaf of pumpkin bread is a great way to take hospitality on the road. Wrap it up...
Macarons
My daughter Torey and I fell in love with macarons in Paris at the bakery Laduree. I know......you think that I spelled it wrong.....but no, that is how Laduree spells them! Believe me, I've checked....a bunch! I had been sitting in our doctor's office when I spied a magazine with these bright,...
Meet Carrie
Arizona Farmer and Blogger
I strive to share hospitality and agriculture. I want to encourage people to make others welcome in our homes, on the road and in our everyday life! It’s so important to share how our food and fabric is grown on the farm. My hope is that I can inspire you through our beautiful farmhouse, days on the farm, and building strong relationships that matter.
