Karins Kottage Linky Party September 2

Hello my friends and welcome to Karins Kottage Linky Party September 2!! Fall is coming and I am super excited and happy about it. So fun to see and get inspired from all your ideas. A yummy fresh apple cake recipe, Halloween and fall crafts and a great fall sunflower tablescape.

Linky Party Highlights

Charleston Crafted

DIY Paper bag fall leaf branches is such a great idea using a paper bag! Charleston Crafted used a black marker to draw leaf shapes and then cut them out and hot glued them on to some branches. It took her only 10 minutes to create this fabulous fall decoration.

I have a fun paper sack witch hat that I made from a paper bag here.

An Organized Season

An organized season took a dollar store bat and turned it into a pottery barn look alike! So brilliant using black twine! Don’t you love knock off projects?

Treat N Trick

Treat N Trick is sharing a fresh apple cake recipe. I love love apple cake and i can’t wait to try this recipe. Chunks of apple always make the cake super moist and delicious! What is fall season without a good apple cake recipe.

The Painted Apron

Easing into fall with a fun sunflower tablescape! The painted apron always has some fun ideas for each season. Sunflowers mixed with black and white checked dishes is just the best way to ease into fall. Make sure to pop over to her blog to see all her details.

Karins Kottage Happenings

Our family went downtown to Salt Lake City to walk around and see the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day saints Salt Lake City temple under construction. It is amazing to see all the work that is being done to fortify the foundation of this beautiful special building. I can’t wait to see it when it is completed.

I made a really yummy peach crisp for two the other night. The recipe will be posted tomorrow. I just love a crust made with oatmeal, butter and cinnamon!

Last night we headed up the canyon with family and had a yummy picnic in including s’mores of course. The grandkids just loved being up in nature as we all did.

Linky Party

Ok my friends link up some fun fall decor, crafting and recipes. Are any of you seeing fall leaves yet? I just love seeing fall pics of other areas across the country. We don’t have any changes yet but I know its coming 🙂

You are invited to the Inlinkz link party!

Zurich was amazing! I think I could live there…. Zurich was amazing! I think I could live there…. At least during spring 😉 

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! ❤️

My travel outfit tip- wear your denim jacket and raincoat to leave room in luggage. Loving this lightweight raincoat that is lined. It also fits great in my backpack.

White sneakers with leopard detail and super comfy and go with everything!
