Weekly Features

It's been difficult for us to choose just one feature each. Your vintage finds, vignettes and just plain creativity have been awesome!

Kathleen's Pick

With fall right around the corner, I've been dreaming of a seasonal facelift for my home decor. So when I saw the beautiful fall floral centerpiece created by our friend Karin from Karin's Kottage, my heart skipped a beat.Her approach was thrifty (just my style) and incredibly colorful -- radiating the warmth of fall colors and just plain cheeriness. Stop by Simple Fall Tablescape Using Marigolds to see her creation and be inspired!

Cecilia's Pick

It's no secret that I adore Kristin's charming Northwoods cabin that she showcases on her blog, White Arrows Home. A girl after my own heart, Kristin shares the most fabulous vignettes and vintage collections. A Collector Celebrates Smokey the Bear Turning 75 is a perfect example--Kristin pairs whimsical collections with a bit of history about the iconic bear. Be sure to drop by for a visit and check out the rest of her wonderful vignettes! Happy Birthday, Smokey!
