Centerpiece Wednesday Linky Party #206

Hi there my friends and welcome to Centerpiece Wednesday Linky party #206! Christmas is next week and I am so excited for it! I still have a little bit of shopping to do and lots of wrapping! I thought I was ahead of the game but somehow I fell behind. Hopefully all of you are enjoying getting ready for Christmas!

Happenings at Karins Kottage

I have been trying my hand at a few winter fashion ideas and I have shared them on my Instagram account. Plaid is my thing this year and I am loving wearing so many different plaids and checks. You can check out my Instagram account for more details and where to buy these things. Or hop over to my Like to know it shopping page.

Centerpiece Wednesday #205 Highlights

This is a stenciled placemat turned into a pillow! I thought this was such a brilliant idea from Fresh Vintage! Lisa found the placemats from the dollar store! Her tutorial is super easy too!

Wouldn’t these look so cute sitting on the chairs in my Buffalo check tablescape!

Stenciled Placemat pillows

We all need quick fast Christmas morning breakfast recipes don’t we? This Christmas tree cream cheese danish fits the bill for me! Walking on Sunshine uses Pop N fresh Dough to make the tree shape and then fills is with cream cheese and cherry pie filling! Sounds perfect fo me!

I have always been a big fan of recycling things to make something new! You might remember when I used denim jeans to make these fun silverware holders or when I used used denim and other fabric to make baby clothes but I am so in love with these upcycled sweater ornaments that Pillar box blue shared. She not only shared this idea but TONS more of upcycled things to make with sweaters!

Centerpiece WEdnesday LInky Party #205

Common Ground shares her Christmas Front porch and she has a bunch of fabulous and easy ideas! I love this basket on her front door filled with greens, fruit and berry stems. The wide striped ribbon tied around it has a French feel for me. Love it! Go check out her sled and darling bench too!

    Karin you’re rocking it in plaid! I’m mad for plaid paired with my Scottie decorations, ornaments, sweaters and socks lol! After losing my Scottie dog last Christmas, Santa arrived early this year and delivered a new litter in Ohio! So in February, I’ll be pairing my plaid clothing with the perfect accessory —- a Scottie dog! Wishing you a merry merry Christmas.

    I am so thrilled to see my stenciled placemat pillow in the feature.
    I’m so glad you liked it. Using a placemat really cuts the work in half.
    I appreciate you so much.
