Link up to Centerpiece Wednesday Linky Party #222

Hello everyone! It is time to link up to Centerpiece Wednesday Linky Party #222!

We are still traveling in Italy right now and loving every minute of it! I can’t wait to share all of our adventures!

All I need to do is download all my pictures and edit some of them and then write about all of the fun things we have been able to do.

We are here on business for our Palazzo but we have also been able to have some fun too!

Tivoli Italy

Here is just one of the fun places we went to that I will share with you. It is called Villa D Este and was built in the 16th century. Famous for its terraced hillside Italian renaissance garden and especially for its profusion of fountains.

It is now an Italian state museum and is also listed as a Unesco world Heritage site.

Seriously breathtakingly beautiful.

I could have stayed in the gardens all day long.

Highlights from last weeks Centerpiece Wednesday Linky Party

How springy and darling is this seed packet wreath that Common Ground created!

I love the look of the old seed packets mixed with the terra cotta pots.

Crostada’s are my all time absolute favorite desserts! I have made this one with apples but I never thought to make one with strawberries!

Treatntrick shared this recipe and I MUST make it.

Crostata’s are basically a simple buttery crust filled with fruit and baked and always turn out amazing!

This charcuterie board made for Mother’s day is genius! Made using cardboard letterboxes.

You could do this for any special holiday or celebration.

Wanderlust and Wellness gives great directions and a list of all the yummy foods she used.

I am getting excited for all our upcoming red white and blue celebrations starting in May.

This red white and blue nautical wreath with a sailboat created by Debeezbuzz, just reminds me of my home town in Newport Beach, California. (Before it was known as the O.C.)

Really really cute!

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!

  • Karin, so happy you actually got to go to Italy as planned!! Can't wait to read all about your business and pleasure adventures. Happy to join the party this week.

    • Hi Rita! I am starting to catch up with my blogging. I twisted my ankle yesterday here in Italy so I am laying in my bed in the hotel icing it. Not so fun and I am missing out on some of the tours but I am hoping by staying off of it yesterday and today it will be ok to fly home. Wish my luck! :)

  • Thank you so much for hosting this week, Karin! I really enjoyed all your features and many of the shared posts! Hope you have a wonderful week!

    Hugs,

    Tee
