Karins Kottage Wednesday Linky Party

Hi all and welcome to Karins Kottage Wednesday LInky party! Each week I highlight 4 to 6 bloggers from the party the week before. This week I am sharing how to bring in the coastal look into your home, a red whtie and blue cake, a yummy crostini recipe and how to decorate with copper!

Karins Kottage Happenings

My hubby and I are still traveling in Italy right now and we have been having a wonderful time. Right now we are on the island of Sicily in the town of Trapani .

Trapani is a great beach town and we have enjoyed some relaxation at the beach.

Tune in tomorrow for my post on Masera and Domodossola Italy!

Karins Kottage Wednesday Linky Party Highlights

My Wee Abode shares some great tips on bringing in the coastal look into your home.

I love copper anything don’t you? The antiqued journey has some great ideas on how to showcase your collection.

The little red white and blue cakes from Walking on Sunshine will bring smiles to everyone’s faces for the 4th of July!

Since I am here in Italy this just stood out to me! The savory Cipolla is showing how to make slow roasted tomato ricotta and pesto crostini! Hello YUM!!

Linky Party

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!

Karin, your Italy escapades are so intriguing and eye-opening. Thank you for sharing. Sicily is where my maternal grandfather was born and raised until coming to the US as an 8yo with his mother and father. :) I'm sharing my collected summer home at #110 this week, having fun putting it all together with gently loved items. Safe travels, lady!
