Karins Kottage Linky Party

Centerpiece Wednesday Linky Party time

You may wonder why I call this party the Centerpiece Wednesday linky party time. I started this years ago when I was doing lots and lots of tablescapes and I wanted you my readers to link up tablescapes to my party. After awhile I decided to open this party up to all kinds of creativity. I love seeing your crafting ideas, recipes, decor and DIY’s.

Kottage Happenings

I am so excited about what is starting to happen to our Italian Palace! There is a film premier happening Thursday Feb 4 at 11AM Eastern time. It is called Palazzo Ricci Reborn and Directed by award-winning filmmaker Walter Nanni. “Reborn” is an artistic journey of one man’s love affair with the land, the traditions, and the history surrounding Palazzo Ricci.

Are you ready for some football? or just ready for some football food? I have some great make ahead easy recipes for your super bowl get together.

Centerpiece Wednesday linky party highlights

First up who I am highlighting is The Crowned Goat with this darling idea of making Valentine poppers for little ones. Such a cute idea! I know my grandkids are going to love these!

I will have to make them some of my patchwork heart sugar cookies to go along with these because isn’t that what a grandma does 🙂

How gorgeous and unique is this valentine wreath that Masterpieces of my life recycled!

I love how she used an old heart shaped grapevine wreath that she has had for 20 years and made it new again by adding different types of moss to it.

The little cluster of roses just adds to the look.

I made this heart shaped wreath out of burlap and painters drop cloth roses.

I will forever love tablescapes and these 5 Valentine ideas from My Hubbard Home are so pretty. Just be doing a few different things you can get 5 looks.

I love her heart shaped rocks and how she incorporated them in her tablescape.

I have done a couple of Valentine tablescapes in the past here on the blog. This is a red, black and white one and this one is a black and white toile with a touch of pink.

Oh I just want to squeeze this fluffy little heart! Kippi at home created these pom poms and attached them to a wire framed wreath. I LOVE IT!

Maybe I can whip up a big one for the mask-querade Valentine’s ball we are doing for our young women and young men at church. I did make this big puzzle piece heart shaped wreath but this fluffy one would be so cute!

Karins Kottage

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!
