Welcome to Centerpiece Wednesday Linky party #221 For this weeks highlights I have chosen some fun ideas to share with all of you!

Karins Kottage Happenings

I am in Italy! It took FOREVER to get here! We flew from Salt Lake to Atlanta only to circle in the sky for awhile because apparently Atlanta was experiencing a tornado!! So they re-routed us to Nashville to refuel. We sat on the ground in the airplane for almost 3 hours:( Then they flew us back to Atlanta. We avoided the tornado but we missed our flight to Rome.

Another 3 hour wait for a different flight….this time we are getting a flight to Paris, France with another layover for 4 1/2 hours. Then finally we took our last flight to Rome, rent a car to get to our hotel. It was a very very long travel day.

Highlights from last weeks Centerpiece Wednesday Linky party

Check out this gorgeous tablescape from Red Cottage Chronicles. I am in love with her centerpiece idea. A large straw basket filled with flowers. This is actually her Easter tablescape but how perfect for Mother’s Day or a fun spring dinner party.

The house of Silverado is sharing her kitchen that is all ready for spring! I love her kitchen and the lighting and all the details

This linen closet makeover turned out so amazing! Faith and Farmhouse used her Cricut machine to make the cute tags.

Fish tacos are seriously my favorite meal and these tilapia fish tacos sound so good! Organized kitchen shared her fresh ingredient for a salsa that makes the tacos even better.

    Love the pix of you and your hubby in Rome! Sorry for your travel odyssey, sounds like our unfortunate 48 hours of travel to get home form our Galapagos Island cruise.

    On an unrelated front, I’m concerned you didn’t receive the invites to the St Paddy Day and next week’s Bee-utiful Table Settings blog hops as I didn’t receive a response to other. Perhaps went into your spam folder? Would have come from buzz@debbeesbuzz.com. Figured I could reach you via comments on your blog. Hoping you can join in on a future theme hop. Enjoy Italy!

Travel for 15 days with only carryon luggage. My t Travel for 15 days with only carryon luggage. My two tone backpack is from Italy a few years ago but I found one similar in my LTK shop for you. 

My travel outfit tip- wear your denim jacket and raincoat to leave room in luggage. Loving this lightweight raincoat that is lined. It also fits great in my backpack.

White sneakers with leopard detail and super comfy and go with everything!
