Karins Kottage Happenings

Since we are so close the 4th of July I thought I would share a few of my 4th of July posts with you. This particular post was highlighted on Shutterfly.

I share all kinds of inexpensive ways to celebrate in your backyard. Using sheets as tablecloths is just one of the ideas.

Here is a round up of lots of my favorite easy to make 4th of July desserts! Some of which are no bake!

Let’s begin the wrap up from last week with this gorgeous vegan gluten free chocolate tart from Mantle and Table. One of my daughters is vegan and it is kind of hard to find delicious treats without eggs or butter.

I am so excited to make this for her and her family for the 4th!

In the past I have made a gluten free strawberry pie that turned out amazing!

If you are looking for an amazing 4th of July pillow tutorial here it is! Darling and Dapper Life shares this beautiful star shaped linen striped pillow with tassels!

Allison found the linen curtain panel in a thrift store and knew she could turn it into something amazing.

Boy did she ever!

Anns Entitled life shares this beautiful fruit salad that is perfect for the 4th of July!

Her recipe calls for rum…I don’t drink alcohol so I would use something else like lemonade to keep the fruit from turning brown.

It looks so pretty with all the fresh berries and grapes!

If you need some great tips on hosting a 4th of July party Leslie over at Feet under my table has it all!

Everything from food to games for your party!

Plus all this fun table decoration is from the Dollar store! Leslie has all the links on her blog!

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!
