Karins Kottage Weekly Linky Party: Spotlight on Creative Bloggers

Hey there, wonderful readers! It’s time for another edition of Karins Kottage Weekly Linky Party. We gather to spotlight creativity, inspiration, and the joy of DIY. This week, we’re thrilled to spotlight four exceptional creative bloggers who graced us with their talent, alongside a peek into what’s been happening here at Karins Kottage.

Highlights from last week’s Linky party

Charleston Crafted amazed us with their brilliant tutorial on crafting a faux Capiz shell chandelier. Using unexpected materials, they’ve created a stunning piece that adds a touch of coastal charm to any space. Trust me, you won’t want to miss this magical project! Check it out here.

    Masterpieces of My Life enchanted us with a glimpse into their Spring Green China Cabinet decor. Their collection of green transferware is nothing short of breathtaking, bringing a fresh, vibrant energy to their home. Take a virtual stroll through their beautifully styled cabinet here.

      The Copper Table treated us to a culinary delight with their recipe for vegetable flatbread. Packed with flavor and colorful veggies, this dish is a feast for the senses and a delightful way to embrace healthy eating. Get ready to salivate over their mouthwatering creation here.

      Penny’s Vintage Home sparked joy with her imaginative yard art for birds. Penny Transformed a simple baker’s rack into a charming aviary adorned with birdhouses. This created a haven for her feathered friends while adding whimsy to her garden. Take a stroll through her enchanting outdoor space here.

      Karins Kottage Happenings

        Now, let’s turn our attention to what’s been happening right here at Karins Kottage! I’ve been busy sprucing up my patio with a couple of fun projects:

        • First up, I shared a nifty quick fix for broken wicker armchairs. With a little creativity and elbow grease, I was able to breathe new life into these outdoor essentials. Check out the transformation here.
        • Next, I couldn’t resist setting up some gorgeous outdoor tablescapes. From a serene blue and white theme to a festive Cinco De Mayo celebration featuring my hand-carved wooden bowl as the centerpiece, I had a blast styling these al fresco dining spaces. Get inspired by my tabletop creations here and here.

        Thank you for joining us for another week of creativity and inspiration here at Karins Kottage!

        Don’t forget to link up your latest projects and ideas for a chance to be featured in next week’s party. Until then, happy crafting, decorating, and enjoying the simple joys of home!

The weather was so nice! We walked, biked and took a little boat ride.
        Happy heavenly Mother’s Day to my mom! How we al Happy heavenly Mother’s Day to my mom! How we all loved her! I miss her funny sense of humor, her fierce love of others, her cooking and desires to always please everyone. Mom had strength beyond my comprehension she was always gardening… moving heavy pots, digging in hard soil and creating an oasis everywhere she lived. Her love of all things French was something to admired. Everyone who ever walked into her home could immediately feel loved and cared for. Mom worked tirelessly in her chocolate company right up until just a few months before she died. Her sacrifices for us were uncountable. I love my mom and all she was and did and especially her faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Here’s to all the moms past present and future and to all the sacrifices, teachings and loving us even when we drive them crazy. 

Loving and missing my mom! ❤️
