Isn't this the most gorgeous Texas vista... bluebonnets in the mist at CEDAR HILL RANCH!
I belong to a group of bloggers, BY INVITATION ONLY who once a month are given a prompt and we write a post.
This month's prompt was...
" highlight someone's blog, a blogger who may be new, or an old and dear friend...but someone we admire so much. Make certain you link the highlighted blog to your post."
This is my dear blogging friend Anita from CEDAR HILL RANCH.
Anita has been sharing her happy and upbeat personality and gifts in blogland since March 2011.
Her blog, CEDAR HILL RANCH radiates love. It overflows with creativity and beauty in even the simplest things! She is a person who celebrates life and relationships and it show in her blog!
I asked Anita where her love for blogging comes from and she answered, "It's as if God made me to do it".
To Anita, a perfect day includes blogging! "You know it's what you love when you don't even need to be paid!"
Cedar Hill Ranch is named after her family's get-away ranch in Texas!
The pictures taken below are good examples of the tag line for CEDAR HILL RANCH... country living with a french accent.
The country setting...
Her porch that makes all of us swoon...
The real live Treehouse on the ranch...
Wouldn't you love to be a guest in this room?
She love to decorate her "city home" too...and with a french twist.
Anita makes all of her own slipcovering and shares TIPS too!
And the girl can cook! I hope she will show us more of her culinary talent!
Her DYI projects are sooooo creative!
Anita is one of 4 Texas bloggers that host the very popular...

Oh my! That is one of the most gorgeous places I've ever seen! I just want to go sit and drink a cup of coffee in that tree house! Thank you for introducing me to Anita and her place. Also, thank you for the follow and kind comment you left on my blog, I tried to reply via email, but you are a "no-reply" blogger. I've been a long time follower of your wonderful blog.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely post about Anita. Her blog has always been a favorite read of mine!
ReplyDeleteAnita is a special gal! She's so talented! Her homes are lovely! Her blog is gorgeous! You featured the perfect place; the ranch is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful tribute to Anita's blog...you have captured the essence of her blog so beautifully in this post....Can't imagine how wonderful it must be to retreat to a beautiful ranch such a hers!!..True beauty everywhere!!
ReplyDeleteI don't remember how I met Anita but from the very moment I opened her blog I have followed her. She has a special knack for adding things to a room that are like icing on a cake. You picked out some of her loveliest pics too. Have a wonderful day!
ReplyDeleteI am super groggy this morning, but looking at these pictures woke me right up! Gosh! How pretty!!!!!! That treehouse space is just the ultimate!
ReplyDeleteI admire Anita's taste every time I go to her blog. I pinned her guest room and even bought some metal panels to make my own little dress display, but haven't got it done. She uses interesting pieces to create a comfy inviting warm space all through out both her homes. Can't wait to see what she does with the new one.

So enjoyed this post Yvonne! Inspiration from start to finish!!!
