Linky Party highlights

I don’t know what could be better for Valentine’s dessert than a chocolate mousse!

This is a chocolate cheesecake mousse recipe from The happy mustard seed.

The additions of Nutella has my mouth watering!

How cute are these chocolate dipped clementines? Such a cute and healthy idea.

Premeditated Leftovers shares how to make these delicious little treats!

There is also a link for the free printables! Love that it makes your treat ready to go!

My Hubbard home put together a really pretty Galentine dessert buffet.

Lots of great tips and tricks like keep a color theme with the food, drinks, flowers, and other decorations.

Wait until you see how she took tiny little salt shakers and used it as a flower vase filled with ranunculus!

I have always loved topiaries! My mom used to be in the plant business years ago and we always had topiaries in our house.

Southern Homes and Hospitality shows how to make these life like rosemary topiaries.

They are faux! I know! They look so real!

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!

We could have used that chocolate mousse recipes this week; my son tried making some on Monday and it was rather watery when it was supposed to be done setting up. What a bummer. Luckily his mint oreo mousse turned out great!
