Potpourri Friday #25

Welcome to Potpourri Friday #25 where you will find  a wonderful smorgasbord of creative projects, ideas and stories.





After yesterdays post, it seems a lot of us have the Winter doldrums.  Besides the doldrums, I’ve been under the weather for a while and a contractor working in the neighborhood cut a main line so I was without electricity all day Tuesday into the evening and that was on top of an outage on Saturday.  These are a few of the reasons I have not been posting or commenting a lot lately.    But is is 80-degrees here today, the sun is shining and  it gives me hope that soon we will be seeing some of these!






 What a fabulous  potpourri  of ideas we had last week and these are but a few of the highlights!


Dream kitchen makeover by Eclectically Vintage.  This before/after is a must see!
