Time Travel Thursday #120 & Talented Time Travelers #119

Welcome to the 120th Time Travel Thursday linky party at The Brambleberry Cottage!

Are you ready to share your fondest memories,
grandest dreams, and most creative projects? Great!

First, we'll travel back in time to last week's party and
see some of the awesome things shared by our talented time travelers.


Beautiful weddings and beautiful brides always
 pluck the heart strings of yours truly!

Leigh Ann @ Love Leigh Again shared some of the lovely things
that made the wedding of her beautiful daughter, Rebekah, extra special—the
buffet in the background of this image being one of them.


If there's one place I'm likely to find a fabulous
home décor item—or two or three—every single time I visit,
 it's HomeGoods. 

And it's seems, I'm not the only one!  Deb @ Vintage on a Dime!
found several beauties during her latest visit.

Check out that little three-legged stool. 
Super cute, right?!


Don't you just love the versatility of
burlap?  Not only does  it "up" the style factor wherever it's used, but
it's terrific for any season of the year.

Marty @ Marty's Musings shared her take on burlap's versatility
 with these attractively wrapped candles.


While I love, love, love the amazing display of autumnal
colors bursting forth this time of year—like those presented in my blog
header, from around our farm—I'm also quite fond of the more
subdued palettes, such as the one above.

Moni @ ZuHaus at Home has put together a terrific tablescape
using pewter pieces given to her by her sister, coupled
with the bounty of nature.


With the transforming power of paint, there's really no reason
to spend a fortune on decorative elements for our homes.

As demonstrated by Jenna @ 24 Cottonwood Lane, by
choosing an interesting base, an attractive shade and the right paint color,
you can have chic on the cheap.


I think fabric pumpkins add such a wonderful touch to
fall decorating.  I have a stash of vintage fabrics I've been
itching to use for just such a project.

If you would like to create your own pretty pumpkin
patch, as well, be sure to visit Sherri @ Aesthetics...A Junker's Journal 
for the how-tos.

OK, we've been anxiously waiting all week to see your handiwork, so
get to linking up all those wonderful projects!   ; )

Time Travel Thursday #119 & Talented Time Travelers #118


"We all have our time machines. Some take us back, they're called memories.

Welcome to the 119th Time Travel Thursday linky party at The Brambleberry Cottage!

Are you ready to share your fondest memories,
grandest dreams, and most creative projects? Great!

Let's take a peek at some of the creativity shared
by our talented time travelers last week first.


Since my rough-and-tumble hunter hubby is not
too keen on having very many prissy decorations around our tiny cottage,
I'm forced to live vicariously through those of you who surround yourselves
with lots of pretty, feminine décor.   ; )

One day, I hope to once again have my own space to decorate as
lovely as the one pictured above by Kathy @ A Delightsome Life.


Often, it's the simplest elements that
 make the most profound statements.

That's certainly the case for the autumnal touches 
on the porch of the Lavender Garden Cottage.


Miranda @ Pressing On also demonstrated the beauty of simplicity
with the various hints of the season around her home.


It's always fun to see the latest transformation magic
Becky @ from generation to generation has performed.

To see more than just the sneak peek I've
shown above, be sure to pay Becky a visit.


For most of us, the traditional, earthy colors of fall
are what come to mind when we think of the current season.

But...
this fabulous tablescape by Janet @
 Rosemary & Thyme shows just how beautiful a few nontraditional
colors thrown into the mix can be.

So, now it's your turn to impress us!

Welcome to the 117th Time Travel Thursday linky party at The Brambleberry Cottage!

Are you ready to share your fondest memories,
grandest dreams, and most creative projects? Great!

Then let's take a look at some of the awesome creativity
 shared at the party last week by our talented time travelers.


Savvy salvage reuse always gets noticed
here at The Brambleberry Cottage.

A lovely door-turned-table by Wendy @ SAWDUST & PAINT 
gets an A+ from this salvage junkie.

I'm afraid the spotlighted time travelers will not be revealed until Thursday. 
But do show off your creativity for this week in the meantime!
