Happy April, friends. Unfortunately, I’m only able to provide the link up and best wishes to you all this week. My apologies. Less than 24 hours before our party, I was in a car accident. I’m fine, not at fault, but rather shaken up. And, now there are tons of car related stuff to do right away! First anything to happen in my car for over 30 years! Thank you for being here. Please do link up and I’ll pray I’m joining you all anew next week.
Good morning, friends Happy April! Well, tomorrow anyway ;) Time flies by, doesn’t it… I pray you are safe and well, as we gather this week I’m still gardening! And, baking up some goodies for my brother and sister-in-law, who are coming to town later today. Thank you all for your beautiful inspirational posts and kindest comments I’m in awe, every week!
On to this week’s Thursday Favorite Things party! Here are just a few that caught my eye from last week’s party!
From Jenna at The Painted Apron, you are going to LOVE her adorable Floral Ice Cream Cones!
Welcome friends! I hope you all have been enjoying these first few days of Spring I’m sewing seeds and working on getting a garden going! I hope to share some of that with you when I get a bit further along. Happy Thursday and Thursday Favorite Things party day! Here are a few fun features from last week’s party!
Linda from Crafts a la Mode shared a ton of Cute DIY Easter Mason Jars! I love them all!
Good morning friends Welcome! I hope you all are having a happy, healthy, peaceful week. Chilly morning for me, all bundled up ( but I’m loving it), it will be hot soon enough! Happy Spring! Are you looking forward to the longer days?!
Here are just a few of your beautiful posts from last week’s party. Enjoy, and thank you for joining us!
Barbara from Mantel & Table’s At least 7 Teacup Gift Ideas
Hello friends, welcome back to Shoestring Elegance! Happy March to you all. I pray that everything is just as you like it where you are.
Please join me in praying for peace for the Ukrainian people. So very hard to watch them as they try and fight to defend their home. Very heart breaking and difficult times.
This week, I spent some time with my Mum, which is not odd. You see, every year, about this time her flowering crabapple tree puts on the most beautiful show for all to see. And, while it doesn't last long, it is spectacular sight. Also, every year, I try and capture its beauty, but now believe no image will ever match the awesomeness of standing right in front of it and watching it come to life. Nonetheless, I did snap a picture to share with you, before we get onto this week's Thursday Favorite Things party. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do and that you have equally beautiful blooms showing up where you are. I am abundantly blessed and have nothing to complain about, in this place and time.
Hello and welcome, friends. Can you believe we're saying goodbye to February already? Time just keeps flying by no matter what's going on in our lives, or our world for that matter, as, I guess it should. I don't know about you, but in this time where Winter is coming to an end and Spring is on the horizon I always seem to be more reflective, I think even more than at the "New Year".
Old goes and New arrives! Which makes me excited! We have a new great-grand in our family, Beautiful little Sabrina, just one month and so so adorable. And, now, news of another, very unexpected, other great-grand on the way! (Her) Mommy thought she was done with one getting ready to move out and the other in high school, but alas God had other plans! Life is so much sweeter with babies.
Pam from Everday Living's sweet husband shared an absolutely beautiful Valentine's message on her blog, Unconditional Love. You don't want to miss it. Pam, I am jealous, and yet, so happy for you both.
Happy Thursday! I’m afraid I’m running a bit behind this week! Thrown off by the unseasonal warm weather we’ve been having and desperately praying for rain. Can you believe we’re already at February 10th? I, sincerely, can’t seem to keep up with the time these days. Believe it or not, I just put out my Christmas tree today! Not out of the house, I mean, but for disposal. I did hate letting it go. The news is all aghast with the latest,”the end of the mask mandate” indoors, for the vaccinated, in smaller groups, inside some places, for some people, at certain spots, depending on the space and, and…. Eek! I’ll keep mine for now, thank you. Okay, that’s the end of my mini rant. LoL
Truly, I have so much to be grateful for, why on earth should I complain?! Welcome all! In case you were wondering, you are here, joining me for this week’s Thursday Favorite Things party, and I’m so glad you’re here.
Let’s take a little peek at what you shared last week
Pam from An Artful Mom’s How to Make Victorian Paper Cones is a super fun and relatively easy way to add to your decor!
Happy February friends! I can’t believe we’re already here!
Welcome back to the Thursday Favorite Things party! You all have so much talent to share it amazes me every week!
Let’s just get on with the party and take a peek at a few highlights from last week’s party, shall we?!
Amber from Follow the Yellow Brick Road shared her 14 Heart Wreaths to Love and I do! I love every single one. Here are just a couple of the beauties she gathered.
i have visited blogs where i have noticed that some people are not using capitalization anymore, i kind of really like it, but am not sure i can do it, i've already had to go back and edit myself a few times, but just for this week, i'm going to give it a whirl!
i pray you are all well and that your families are healthy. in these dicey times i think of all of you more than i ever did before. please stay safe and healthy. as they say, on with the show...
i love elderberry syrup!! i use it year-round and i'm so excited to see a post on here on how to make it! so, thank you, joy, from artful homemaking, for sharing your recipe with this how to make elderberry syrup on the stovetop recipe!
Hello and welcome friends! I’m so glad you’re here. I pray you are all healthy and well. This Omicron is no joke. My family has all recovered. Praise God. Thank you all for your well wishes and prayers. Can you believe we are already just a few short weeks from Valentine’s Day?! I’m not one who has ever really celebrated this specific holiday, but I so enjoy seeing all your creations! There were A Lot! So let’s take a look at the ones that caught my eye!

Welcome friends! I'm so very glad you are here. Happy 2nd week of 2022! That sounds so bizarre to me, still. Well, I just finished baking a pan of cinnamon rolls and a pan of Brioche buns, so I am exhausted. It seems to take less and less to make me tired these days. Is that just me? Maybe the fact that I turned fifty-six last month. Ugh! When I was younger that was an old person, Isn't perspective a funny thing? Anyways, as my friend would say onwards and upwards! Welcome to this week's Thursday Favorite Things party! I'm so grateful for all of you and your beautiful Bloggy friendship and your kind and comforting comments. Thank you so much for that.
Let's take a look at a few that caught my eye from Last week's party!
First off, was our beautiful leader, Katherine's post On the Brighter Side You will never waste your time reading Katherine's insightful posts, and SO much beauty! I just love her.
Good morning and welcome! I hope 2022 has been good to you all, so far. I rarely do this, but feel I need to, as I know I have a lot of praying friends that visit here, could you please say a prayer for my family? A couple members of my family, despite all our best efforts and vaccination status, are currently dealing with Covid. Nobody is in a hospital, but, still miserable and very scary for the rest of us. Thank you all in advance!
Let's get on with this week's Thursday Favorite Things party! We got kind of a quiet start to the year with last week's party, lets see what you are all up to this week! But first, a few highlights.
First off, was Amber from Follow the Yellow Brick Home's post, Simple Christmas to Winter Decorating ideas! Perfectly lovely!
Good morning and welcome back friends! Eight days until Christmas Eve. Why does it seem like it takes forever to get to this month then it flies by in a blink!
Believe it or not, I am woefully unprepared for this week's party. You see, yesterday was my Birthday and the day after my booster shot, so it turned out a bit dicey. All good now, but I'm rushing to beat the clock! I hope you will all be patient with me. There won't be a party next week, as we're certain you all would rather be celebrating with your families. Now, Let's peek at some features!
Claire Justine's Christmas Yule Log
Hello Friends, Welcome! Are you enjoying the Most Wonderful Time of the Year?! I truly am, and I'm sure feeling grateful for so many things this year, and yet, praying for so much relief for so many, as well. If you are joining me from Katherine's Blog Tour, thank you for continuing the tour from Simple Nature Décor blog.
I was honored and humbled when Katherine asked me to join this incredible group of ladies. If you follow me at all, whether on Facebook, Pinterest, Instagram, or right here, you know that I LOVE Christmas!
(This is the teaser image I sent Katherine. God Bless her for letting me join along with just this to show!)
Merry Christmas time, friends. Are you all getting ready? We sure are in full swing here. Last weekend, my sisters, nieces and Mum had our Annual Christmas baking day. Several thousand pieces later, we're done! Loved every minute but glad to have it over with. Mind you, that was just the cookies, squares and candy. All the regular baking is still going on. From the looks of last week's party, you've all been busy too! Let's look at a couple that caught my eye!
Pam from Everday Living is wishing you Season’s Greetings From The Sunshine Cottage Porch
It's official! The Most Wonderful Time of the Year is here! Happy December, friends! I'm SO excited and so happy you are here joining me. Everybody brought wonderful Christmas inspiration to last week's party. You got me feeling behind, so I finally got on with it and finished my new post. I'm sharing my new Favorite recipe for my Ameretti cookies here. I hope you enjoy them. We can't get enough! On to our party for this week's Thursday Favorite Things! Here are just a few of your Seasonally perfect posts!
Amber from Follow the Yellow Brick Road shared her adorable DIY Nordic Christmas Gnomes
These cookies are absolutely delicious and they couldn't be easier!
They are also gluten-free and added fat-free! And other than egg whites no-dairy! The shocker...They are the best cookies I have ever made or eaten!
