Hello friends! Welcome back to this week’s linky party! I am absolutely loving all the summer decor and recipes you’ve been sharing lately—so much inspiration is flowing, from beachy tablescapes and porch makeovers to sweet berry-filled desserts.
This week I’m highlighting four bloggers whose creative ideas are perfect for celebrating summer in style. Whether you’re entertaining guests or just sprucing up your space, these posts are full of charm and seasonal joy.

⚓ Create a Nautical Tablescape
From An Organized Season
If you love the look of classic coastal style, this post is for you. You’ll learn how to pull together a nautical-inspired table setting with stripes, rope accents, and seaside touches that feel fresh and festive.

🏠 May Decorating & Shopping Recap
From Calypso in the Country
Take a peek into Shelley’s world of home decor, seasonal touches, and recent shopping finds. Her May recap is packed with great ideas for adding personality and style to your home as we head into summer.

🥧 Strawberry Rhubarb Hand Pies
From The Copper Table
These adorable hand pies are the perfect dessert for summer gatherings. With the sweet-tart flavor of strawberries and rhubarb in a flaky crust, they’re just as fun to make as they are to eat.

🇺🇸 Decorating a Small Porch for the Fourth
From From Bay to Beach
Big style in a small space! This post shows how to create a festive and welcoming patriotic porch using layered textures, ruffle flag pillows, and charming touches. Proof that even a small area can have a big impact.

I have such a cute outfit that I think you will love. It is a maxi skirt and a peplum jacket with bows! This is the “it” jacket of the season. I am loving it so much! See my post Maxi skirt for women 50+ Summer style with a peplum jacket here.

I made these red white and blue ribbon wands for our youngest grandkids to wave around on the 4th of July. You can see my post here and make some for your grandkids or even just for decor in a vase.

Now it’s your turn! Link up your summer recipes, DIYs, decorating ideas, and tablescapes below. I can’t wait to see all the beauty and creativity you’re sharing this season.
Those star wands are adorable – I’m sure my Littles would love them, too! Thanks for the idea and for hosting us all!

Thanks for the party Karin! Always fun. Love the outfit. The bows on the jacket are everything. Loved it when I saw it on your socials. Have a great week. XO- MaryJo
Thank you Maryjo! I am loving the jacket too!
Karin, you’re adorable in any and all the outfits you put together, so youthful and active. I love your style. I love those ribbon banners you made too, pinned! My Jacqueline will love those in her bike basket. She’ll probably make me wave them as she rides her bike down the street to announce her arrival for all to see. 😂
I’m in at #72 this week, sharing an Americana tablescape. Thank you for hosting your party.
Thanks so much Rita! I am so glad you pinned the ribbon banners they are so fun for the kids! I will be checking out your Americana tablescape shortly. Thanks for linking up!
