Karins Kottage Linky Party #291

Welcome to Karins Kottage Linky party #291 all about fall decor and a yummy fall recipe. Can you ever get enough of fall recipes like zucchini and pasta? I can’t! I will be making this tonight so thanks to bloggers like you I provide a variety of all kinds of things for my family and friends.

I have been hosting this linky party fo many years and even though it says karins kottage linky party #291 I really think I have hosted this party many more times than that. I kind of lost track haha but I want each of you to know how much you mean to me! My blog has evolved because of each of you so thank you!

Karins Kottage Linky Highlights

Here are the 4 bloggers I am highlighting from last weeks linky party. So many good ones to choose from it is always tough to just choose 4!

These terra cotta pumpkins are all the rage on the internet aren’t they! I love how WM Designs added real pumpkin stems to hers! These look like a million bucks and to think they started as a foam pumpkin!

Karins Kottage LInky party #291

I have always loved old suitcases and this vignette from Master Pieces of my life nailed it with the fall look. The feathers and the French green coffee pot is just beautiful!

Doesn’t this bed look so comfy! The house on Silverado shares tips on layering your bed. Perfect for the cooler temps we are going to be experiencing and it looks amazing!

I want to crawl right in there!

Karins Kottage LInky party #291

I still have zucchini popping up in my garden and this sounds like an easy way to use some up! Julie’s creative lifestyle shares this yummy Zucchini pasta bake and I am seriously going to make this tonight!

Karins Kottage Happenings

I have some super fun Halloween posts to share with y’all! My sister and her family are living with us and we have been busy! Remember when my sister and I started the blog The Style Sisters back in 2008!! I can’t believe I have been blogging all the years! Good times for sure!

Along with my daughter Emily we created this amazing Bewitching black and white tablescape! You can see all the fun DIY’s we came up like a really fun witch chalkboard, fall leaves out of a paper sack and more!

I have also linked up with 21 other bloggers for a Halloween tablescape blog hop you don’t want to miss! So make sure to pop over to that post!

We made these darling chubby Rice Krispie pumpkins that were so to make.

Here is a super easy way to cover a glass vase for Halloween. I made a mini video showing the steps. Make sure to pin any of my ideas on your Halloween Pinterest board.

I also shared how to style a $4.00 dress from Costco. Can you even believe it was only $4.00?

Linky Party

Enjoy linking up to the party! I would love it if you would link back to me and share this party on Pinterest.
