How To Make Cornbread Dressing

Growing up we always had cornbread dressing for every major holiday, not just for Thanksgiving.  While Mother is one of the best cooks, I never cared much for her dressing.  When I married Honey, I became acquainted with his Aunt Jean.  Aunt Jean is a fabulous cook and her dressing is absolute perfection of southern dressing if ever there was any.  For years, Honey's Mother...aka Pie would bring dressing to us where ever we lived as a gift from Aunt Jean.  When we moved back home to Auburn, Aunt Jean gave me lessons in how to make "her" dressing.  That is what I am sharing with you today!

Updates in the Living Room

A few weeks ago while trolling the aisles of one of my fav antique stores I saw  a gorgeous wing back chair.  I walked away from it that day but couldn't get it off my mind.  After much thought, last week I went back to that store and it was still there...so I brought it home!

When Do You Decorate For Christmas

A Charles Faudree Inspired Wall

The first time I saw a Federalist Bull's Eye mirror in a Charles Faudree book I knew I had to have one.  Last fall I got lucky and found one at a great price.

For a year now, it just hung on the wall in the family room.  Right by itself.  When I envisioned it hanging in our home it had Blue Willow plates hanging all around.

Fast forward to today when Bestie N popped over for visit, I mentioned that we had to relocate the mirror to a new wall.  Just like that we were rehanging the mirror and I had pulled out all my spare Blue Willow plates. Hello my name is Tamyra and I am a Blue Willow Plate Hoarder Collector.
