Karins Kottage Linky Party- A little this and that

If you are new here welcome to Karins Kottage Linky Party! Today I am sharing a little this and that from last weeks party! So many creative people out there in blog land. I can just picture each one of you planning, photographing, editing your posts each week.

It is a lot of work!

I appreciate each one of you coming and linking up each week.

This weeks Karins Kottage Linky party highlights

I chose a little this and that to highlight from last weeks party. Burlap wrapped containers, kids bath bombs with little toys inside, a delicious mini cheesecake recipe, pink and yellow gorgeous spring tablescape, Floral MOM tutorial and container gardening!

Masterpieces of my life is sharing these cool burlap wrapped garden containers. I have always love the look of burlap and her ideas are fantastic!

Karins Kottage Linky Party-

How cute are these kids bath bombs from Must have mom! I love that she shows how to add a little toy in them. My granddaughters and even my grandsons are going to love these!

Karins Kottage Linky Party-

The savory Cipolla shared this amazing sounding raspberry swirl cheesecake recipe! Jus the name alone sounds delicious doesn’t it? YUM!

Karins Kottage Linky Party A little this and that

Pink and yellow is such a favorite combination! Dining delight pulled out all the stops when putting this beautiful Mother’s Day tablescape together.

How about this flower letter tutorial from Everyday Savvy. Making this for Mother’s day was such a cute idea! I made one awhile back for my daughters bridal shower and then hung in my granddaughters room. Love a craft that can be used in multiple ways.

My Family Thyme shows you all the things you need to know about container gardening! I was just in St. George visiting my mom for Mother’s day and her garden was amazing. My garden has just barely begun so I am excited to use My Family Thyme tips!

Kottage Happenings

Last week I was able to spend some time with my mom in St. George, Utah. If you are not familiar with that area it is 2 hours north of Las Vegas. It is known for the red rock and desert landscape. We were able to go to lunch with mom and some friends to celebrate Mother’s Day.

We had lunch at this darling little French restaurant called Tifiny’s. We had yummy crepes! I forgot to take a picture of them.

They are huge and very filling.

On Mother’s Day Mike made us a scrumptious breakfast 🙂

Our table was set so pretty with my moms big blue peony napkin rings with pink napkins. It was lovely!

Patriotic rosette tutorial

I managed to make a Memorial day craft before we left for St. George. Make sure to check it out. It is super easy to make. How to make a Patriotic rosette fan.

    Looks like it was a fun time! It’s always fun with Kelly! I love this time of year and the red, white, and blue also. You’ve given me more great ideas. Hope you have a fun time this summer. I’m off to find a fun swimsuit from your ideas and suggestions. Thanks! Margaret

      Hi Margaret! Kelly is really such a fun lady to be with. I love her laugh. I hope you found a fun swim suit…those are really my favorites. Did I hear that you will be heading to St. George or is Kelly coming to your area? Either way you two will have such fun!

      Hugs,

Happy heavenly Mother’s Day to my mom! How we al Happy heavenly Mother’s Day to my mom! How we all loved her! I miss her funny sense of humor, her fierce love of others, her cooking and desires to always please everyone. Mom had strength beyond my comprehension she was always gardening… moving heavy pots, digging in hard soil and creating an oasis everywhere she lived. Her love of all things French was something to admired. Everyone who ever walked into her home could immediately feel loved and cared for. Mom worked tirelessly in her chocolate company right up until just a few months before she died. Her sacrifices for us were uncountable. I love my mom and all she was and did and especially her faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Here’s to all the moms past present and future and to all the sacrifices, teachings and loving us even when we drive them crazy. 

Loving and missing my mom! ❤️
