Celebrate The End of Summer on Centerpiece Wednesday

Well the end of summer 2020 is upon us now and it’s been…. interesting and kinda crazy hasn’t it? Not a lot of travel or eating in restaurants for us. A lot of staying home, gardening, cooking and spending time with family. All in all it has been good and not just good but really good. It looks like it has been the same for many of you too. So today let’s celebrate the end of summer on Centerpiece Wednesday!

Centerpiece Wednesday Highlights from Last Week

I love to be inspired and motivated to try new things and each week I am never disappointed with what you have been up to on your blogs! Can I just say let’s celebrate you….GREAT JOB FRIENDS! It is always so hard to choose from what you link up on Centerpiece Wednesday each week!

This spicy watermelon salsa from comfort springs sounds soo refreshing with a little kick! I really think my family will love this! What a great way to celebrate the end of summer by making this watermelon salsa!

Currently I have lots of herbs growing in my garden right now and It’s sustainable life has shared 13 ways to preserve your herbs! I did not know you could preserve them in the oven, in salt or in honey! You gotta check out all her ideas they are worth pinning especially before for the end of summer!

How cool is this post on how to make a pottery barn style little kids desk! Abbots at home has a beautiful tutorial and video on how to make this darling desk. Actually she has made two of them! They are the perfect size for grade school children but you can make adjustments for middle schoolers and probably High school aged too! I am blown away at how beautiful they look!

Bright golden yellow colored sunflowers are some of my favorite flowers! Yvonne over at Stone Gable shows how to create a beautiful sunflower vignette and she is also sharing some of her friends fall floral displays as well. Yvonne has an absolutely stunning blog if you haven’t stopped over there you need to now!

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!

  Hi Rita! Hope you are doing well! I love what you wrote! Cheers! Or in Italian it is Cin Cin (sounds like chin) or Salute. I need to do an update on the Palazzo! Not a lot is happening at the moment on the Palazzo because we are still waiting on the city to give us ok’s on some of the things. There is exciting things going on in our experience center. It’s a place people can go when they are in Italy to get an idea of what the rooms will look like. That is moving forward!
  Thanks for stopping by!
