Centerpiece Wednesday Linky Party Aug 31

It is August 31st and I am late in posting my Centerpiece Wednesday Linky party! But I have some amazing things to share this week! The reason I am late in posting is because I have been busy packing and getting ready to fly to Italy!

Yes we are off to Italy again! If you are new here let me bring you up to speed. We bought a 250 yr old palace in Casoli and we are refurbishing it. It is going to be a fractionally owned private residence club!

We are off to check on things and bring some interested couples over to tour the area

Centerpiece Wednesday Linky Party Highlights

With the holiday season coming up sooner than later I loved this wrapping station idea from Peacock Ridge Farm.

She uses darling metal baskets to house ribbons and wrapping paper. Makes me want to add some metal baskets in my craft room.

Pop over and check it out.

This pear tablescape is so beautiful! I really love how she used eucalyptus and driftwood chargers.

Masterpieces of my life always does such beautiful tablescapes and this is one of my favorites.

This rainbow DIY pergola shade by At Home with Ashely is absolutely amazing! Ashley used drop cloths and Rit dye to create these gorgeous colors!

Here tutorial is awesome!

I love roast beef and french baguettes and this recipe sounds amazing because it has my favorite things in it!

You can find the recipe at wanderlust and wellness.

Scrumptious is the perfect word for these!

Here is my tomato bruschetta that is easy and quick to make.

Karins Kottage Happenings

Over the weekend I helped in planning a youth conference ending with a Luau. It turned out perfect!

I brought out my Tiki Bar that I made for my grandkids and we served sodas at it.

There is a little open club house area around the lake in our neighborhood and it was the perfect place to have our luau!

I created a ballon arch and some cardboard tiki pole men.

I will post a tutorial on how I made them in a day or so.

We had the dinner catered by a Hawaiian restaurant and the kids loved it!

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!
