I've been decorating a bit here and there. Slowly, very slowly. I built the planter box, a poured a concrete fountain (which turned out to not be the best idea seeing as I lost a layer of skin on my hands when I decided to mold it by hand), and I bought a shed antler…
One of the perks that comes with being a chef who hunts is that I'm sometimes gifted exotic foods. For example, in the past week I was given beet and mint ice cream, a box of olive oil from someone's farm in Greece, and a bag full of oryx meat that a Texas guy had…
I wear a compass around my neck sometimes. It makes me feel like a sailor.
It also helps me find my way. I'm known for being lost... a lot. GPS often fails me. So I wear a compass!
Plus, it's a nice accessory. The one I have is from my friend Wenderly. She gave it to me…
I have to tell you about my big blue boots because I'm in love with them and I didn't know you could be in love with boots until now.
They were a birthday gift and I troll around Austin in them just to go to the movies, even though they're boots for trolling around the woods…
I'm really loving these cards that I stumbled across not too long ago and I thought you should know about them too.
Perhaps it's the nostalgia I feel when I see them because I have such a jolly time when I hunt in England... or that I like to roam around England looking at the pretty…

They are growing like wildfire on my deck and on a stump in the front of my house. It thrills me to the core.
So I'm going to do everything I can to embrace them. First up:…
UPDATE. Thank you all for your beautiful and heartfelt answers. You have reminded me even more what a magical time Spring is, full of rebirth and hope. The winners are:
#316: Sarah: "My favorite thing about Spring is remembering life and beauty. My daughter Abbot was (still)born at 38 weeks last Spring. She was beauty."
#383: Cristina:…
A few weeks ago my friend Amy gave me a very neat gift. I get comments on it every time I wear it. So now I've started giving it as a gift myself. I'm such a copy cat. But when I see something that I like, I want to evangelize it. Plus it's made by…
You may have heard the chatter on Twitter (see #GirlHunter if you haven't) but two weeks ago, some beautiful ladies joined me in Hill Country, Texas for a weekend of girl bonding, good food, outdoorsy adventures, and togetherness. It was a weekend I'll never forget and far surpassed my expectations for just how much fun…
