It’s time to link up to Centerpiece Wednesday

It’s time to link up to centerpiece Wednesday! But first I want to share with you some fabulous ideas from last week that I am highlighting! I am not ready for fall yet! So I chose a few posts that just made me feel like summer might last for a bit.

Blog Post Highlights

Just look at this garden obelisk! Kippi At Home gives a super tutorial on how to make these gorgeous garden trellises. You should see them lit up at night with solar fairy lights and and glass globe lights! Her whole yard is amazing!

If this doesn’t say summer I don’t know what does! Look at these pretty colorful dishes. Rachelle at My Hubbard home shares 5 reasons to love Alfresco Patio dining and I couldn’t agree more! I love dining outdoors!

I have never really been into Macrame hanging things but I am enthralled with it for fringe! Jen at Everyday Farmhouse shows step by step how to make this beautiful fringe while nursing her youngest of 10 children!! If you haven’t been to her blog you need to go now! Talk about inspirational!

Ahhh sea shells how I love them! You might remember my sea shell mirror that I made awhile back? I just love how Mary Jo is hanging on to summer with her sea shell collection. Love how she turned one into a candle!

Thanks to everyone who linked up last week! I can’t wait to see what everyone will be sharing this week! Maybe some fall decor? Maybe some end of summer meals? How about some DIY projects? I love it all!

This is one of my top 5 posts of all time! Can you spray paint bathroom faucets? The makeover is quite drastic!

This Tomato Ricotta Tart is such a delicious recipe to use up your fresh garden tomatoes from you garden! The filling is ricotta cheese, eggs and Gruyère cheese! The crust has toasted pine nuts in it! I have already made it twice in one week!

Welcome to Karins Kottage! There is always something fun going on! You would think after becoming an empty nester couple that our nest would be very quiet and empty but our Kottage nest is usually more full than what we started out with! You might find me hosting a birthday party or graduation party and a baby shower on the same weekend or a big outdoor get together with 25 of our friends and family in the backyard or maybe I might be in the kitchen trying out a new recipe for my hubby and I to grill on the BBQ for a quiet night for the two of us. I am passionate about entertaining and setting a beautiful table! I may or may not have an addiction to cloth napkins and fun salad plates oh and goblets too! I think I will always have a home decorating DIY project in the works as long as my hubby is on board with me haha. We have painted A LOT in the 6 homes we have owned in the 35 years that we have been married as well as re-done multiple pieces of furniture, added wall and ceiling treatments, replaced lights, bathroom fixtures and even tiled floors! I have sewn what seems like a million window treatments for our home as well as for family, made slipcovers, and duvets and even a formal dress or two!

I'm right there with you Karin - I'm not ready for fall either, even though I know those of us who like to plan ahead are planning ahead! :) Thanks for all these great ideas, and Happy Wednesday!

Thanks for the feature, Karin :)
I think I may be over summer - at least the intense heat.

Take care,

Thank you for another great party! Thank you for hosting! This is what I featured the week of 8-3 to 8-7 on my blog. On Tuesday was Banana Cream Pie with Hazelnut Crust. Wednesday was Apple Crumb Pie. Thursday was Maple Pecan Pie. And winding up this week was my No Bake Chocolate Cream Pie with Oreo Crust. Enjoy!

Thanks so much Karin! Your Tomato Ricotta Basil Tart looks divine! I'm not ready to let go of summer either, it will be hot in the South for 2 more months! I must go visit Jen and see that macrame fringe--how does she ever get anything done with 10 children!

  HI Julie,
  I am hanging in there. It is fun to see you here and on Thistlwood Mastermind classes! I feel like I am running a race these days...I just need to remember that it is a marathon and not a sprint. Thank you so much for stopping by and linking up each week!

Well, this is my second attempt at leaving a comment! I'm assuming it's operator error, but my laptop has been acting up this week. So if you get two from me you'll know why LOL.
I'm glad you're still operating in summer. It's only August and I can't believe folks are decorating for fall! Here in Georgia summer lasts until at least October.
