Potpourri Friday #45

Welcome to Potpourri Friday!

I have been "under the weather" these past few days and on a new medication with a  lot of side effects that don't agree with me.

For that reason, the highlights from last week's party will be postponed.

I appreciate your understanding.

So, on with the party!

Potpourri Friday #44

Hi everyone!  Welcome to Potpourri Friday!

You may have noticed that I have been absent most of the past week.  Over the weekend, I went to Austin, and my sister and I attended Texas Antiques Week in Warrenton/Round Top!  It was a lot different from last year when it was 106-108, with high wind blowing the dust and dirt from the drought into your eyes and mouth.  The low 90's was much better.  It even rained!  Contending with a little mud and getting totally drenched was much better alternative.

I will do a couple of posts in a few days.  But for now, let's get to some Highlights from last week.

Christie at Three Pixie Lane has completed a complete remodel of her kitchen

At Adventures in Decorating, Becca has given her breakfast nook an updated look

Debbie at Confession of a Plate Addict decorated her front porch, featuring a corn cob garland.  She also has a tutorial for the garland at link #156

 At Eclectic Vintage, Kelly's front porch is decorated for Fall, and she includes several tutorials

At Nancy's Daily Dish, Nancy creates a lovely Fall tablescape wish easy-to-follow instruction on achieving the look

Bj at Sweet Nothings updates her Fall wreath

Aimee at It's Overflowing creates a unique piece for fence mantel art

Heather At the Picket Fence turned a vintage tool box into a Fall centerpiece

Kathy at Life on Lakeshore Drive gives her pumpkins some glitz


Angela at Number Fifty-Three gives her china cabinet a gorgeous makeover
 

Judy at Vintage Street Designs gives a buffet 
an extreme makeover


At Sweet Inspirations, JP give a vintage washstand a glamorous chic makeover


At Sophia's, Kristen unveils a classic cottage sideboard makeover


At Homey Home Designs, Jody is serving and sharing
Pumpkin Layer Cake
