Welcome to my weekly Karins Kottage Linky party #316! This is a place for you to share all the projects you have been working on. Whether it is a home improvement project, a recipe, tablescape, how to style a new outfit or anything in between. Your creativity is always so inspiring to me.

This week I chose to highlight 9 appetizers, a darling jumpsuit, cinco de mayo tablescape and some kitchen backsplash ideas. A unique variety of ideas is what I love best! Please feel free to share whatever you have been working on. It does not need to be a new post you can share older posts too.

Karins Kottage Linky Party Highlights

Cinco de mayo is right around the corner and we love to celebrate with the family. This bright colored fun Cinco de mayo tablescape from the Painted Apron is perfect for that or any spring/summer dinner! Pop over to see the details.

Weddings soirre by Kmich is sharing darling grandma vintage styles specifically jumpsuit ideas. This type of jumpsuit is so comfortable to wear because of it being a loose fit. I loved this one but you really need to pop over to see all the rest of them.

Spring and summer means entertaining to me! Gathering family and friends together to enjoy a fun evening and eating some great food! Everyone loves a good appetizer and this selection of 9 appetizers is one to keep. Homemade on a weeknight has us covered!

We have been thinking about redoing our kitchen backsplash in the coming months and this post by the Dedicated house has some great ideas.

Karins Kottage Happenings

Life has been busy! Between helping my mom and having my in-laws here I haven’t had much time to blog. My mom and step dad recently moved up here to be closer to my sister and I. Unfortunately my mom has been having some tough health issues. We are seeing a neurologist on Friday and we would appreciate your prayers.

My hubby’s parents have been staying with us this week. It has been fabulous to see them connect with their great grandchildren that they rarely get to see. We have had lots of April birthdays so we had a nice dinner to celebrate.

Our youngest granddaughter turned 2 in April and my daughter had a darling groovy birthday party for her. I will be blogging more about it later this week. Emily has a real knack for making birthday parties special for her daughters.

We took my hubby’s parents and our youngest daughter and her family to the Church of Jesus Christ Saratoga Springs temple open house yesterday. It is beautiful inside and out.

We got caught in a thunderstorm while visiting at the temple. Just look at those dark clouds!

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!
