Linky Party Highlights on Karins Kottage

How can it be March already? This weeks Linky party highlights are springy ideas. How to mix old and new for a spring mantel, Simple party gift wrap Ideas, a yummy leek and potato soup recipe and garlic knot rolls. We just spent a week in South Carolina and the weather was spectacular. I am sooo ready for spring but Mother nature has other plans….snow is in the forecast this week.

Last Weeks Highlights

I just love highlighting 4 of you each week. So many great ideas every week makes it so hard to choose. I hope those of you that are here will take a minute and pop over to visit those that I highlight each week and say hi.

County Road has put together a beautiful spring mantel using old and new items. You need to see how she used a Pinterest idea and made it her own. I love the plates that she hung above this basket of flowers.

I don’t know about you but I love to wrap gifts and I always look for fun creative ideas. Crazy Little Love Birds shows ideas on how you can use up any leftover materials, such as buttons, beads, and flower embellishments that you may have in storage to create a beautiful package.

Linky Party Highlights on Karins Kottage

The copper Table has shared a delicious leek and potato soup. Using Yukon gold potatoes because they have a great flavor all their own, and you don’t need to peel them for this soup. Fresh thyme, leeks and heavy cream all whirred up with a stick blender makes for a delicious soup.

How about some scrumptious garlic knot rolls to go with the soup above? Lou Lou Girls shared this homemade roll recipe and they look so fluffy and delicious. These are perfect for any meal.

Karins Kottage Happenings

Our belated anniversary trip to South Carolina Hilton head was amazing. I just love the beach and the white sand, the beautiful old homes and the weather! We had such a wonderful time.

We spent time in a little town called Beaufort and I fell in love with it. I mostly took video of the area. You can see some of it on my Instagram account.

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! ❤️

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