Hello my friends! Welcome to my Linky Party-Summer Recipes and crafts. Have you ever made red white and blue stained glass jello or an American flag charcuterie board? How about a really cool kraft paper tablecloth or a hanging mason jar for a summer event? These are just a few of the fabulous ideas I am highlighting from last weeks party.

Karins Kottage Happenings

I am sitting in the JFK airport waiting for our flight to Milan, Italy! For those of you who are new here, we are renovating a 250 year old Palace in Casoli, Italy. It will have 14 private residences that are going to be amazing!

Here are a couple of the renderings of the smaller residences. They are going to be so romantic and beautiful. i can’t wait until the entire palace is completed.

Palazzo Ricci in Casoli, Italy

It has been quite the project and I am so grateful for my hubby and all his hard work. If you want to learn more about Palazzo Ricci you can go to our website. We would love to have any of you come on tours with us to Casoli and learn about how you can own a piece of Italy!
