Karins Kottage Linky Party Summer ideas

HI friends! Welcome to my linky party filled with summer ideas. I love my Wednesday linky party where I get to share 4 bloggers each week. This week I am sharing some fun summer ideas. A pretty coastal tablescape, how to paint a piece of furniture from Target, a strawberry shortcake in a jar and some cute printable shark week cupcake toppers.

Karins Kottage Happenings

Things have been a little crazy this week. My father-in-law had a heart attack last Tuesday and we flew to California to be with him and my husbands family. He is doing much better but not completely out of the woods yet. We are so grateful for modern medicine, hospital staff and doctors that take care of patients so well. Recovering from a heart attack at 81 is no small task. He is one tough guy! We are just so grateful for family!

Since we have been gone I haven’t been able to focus on things here for the blog. So I am going to re-share a couple of older posts for you.

Peach crumble bars

These peach crumble bars are sooo yummy and perfect for a summer dessert.

Peach sorbet

Super fast and yummy peach sorbet! I love how fast you can make this with only 5 simple ingredients!

One Sweet Peach birthday party

My daughter put together the most adorable 1st birthday with a peach theme. You will love all her DIY ideas for this birthday.
