Drying Flowers with Borax Cornmeal Mixture

I do enjoy growing flowers and hydrangeas are one of my favorites. This comes from being a child and visiting my grandma's house. She had some of the most beautiful blue old fashioned ones growing at the front of her porch. I remember just standing and looking at those beautiful flowers and the Crepe Myrtle trees that stood close by. For years I've cut and brought them inside to dry naturally for a touch of color during the winter months. This year I decided to dry some in this mixture and well I'll tell you more about it in this post.

Testing & Washing Bed Pillows

Do you test and wash your bed pillows? Over the years I've made some pretty big mistakes like washing my grandma's feather bed pillows. The covers were dark blue with off white stripe ticking and they had them for quite a while. She gave me some and young Dolly decided to machine wash them in hot water. The hot water only made them smell like dead birds! I aired them outside for days it seems and don't believe they ever smelled decent enough to sleep on again. This brings me to the question do you wash your bed pillows? We're talking pillow washing today.

Dolly's Southern Cornbread Dressing

This is one of my most looked at and shared recipes on the site. I can tell you that it wouldn't be Thanksgiving or Christmas for that matter here at Hibiscus House without this side dish. My family would be in an uproar if I even thought about leaving it off the menu. Join me for one of our Southern Traditions here.

Recent Sights Around Hibiscus House

Work in progress Today I'll share a variety of pictures taken with the recent painting of the home. These guys were very good sports allowing me to take many pictures. Join me as I share a day in the life of painters and homeowner.

Homemade Dishwasher Tabs

2013, that was when I first made these. It was one of the most popular posts from the former Dolly is Cooking website. I thought since it was liked so well I would carry it on over here for you to use.

Garden at Play

It was time to pull this bike out of the bike graveyard. It wasn't worth repairing so either throw it away, or just use in this manner. I chose to use it as a planter in this free growing flower garden. Take a peek at the little red wagon behind. Chuck's little red wagon has seen better days as well but I just love it! I call this the 'Garden at Play'. I started to call it 'Flowers! Get Your Flowers!

We Have a New Roof!

Hurricane Matthew left a path of destruction behind especially in some areas. We weren't in the worst area for sure but it did leave some damage. We now have a new roof and I wanted to show it to you. I know we're excited about a roof! Drum roll please!

Hibiscus House Has A Haint Blue Porch Ceiling!

I've shown you the new roof which I love by the way. Now it's time for the house painting itself. Today I share with you the porch ceiling that I've wanted for a few years.

Glamis Castle English Rose

I purchased four very beautiful English Roses called Glamis Castle from Heirloom Roses in 2015. I really like the own root roses and think this one will be a winner. Whew, it's been so hot this summer in South Carolina and I have to admit my gardens have gone without the care and grooming they deserve. Yes, I'm guilty of that but I wanted to share these young roses with you today.
