Congratulations go to

Missy from Sonata Home Design!

If you're like me and happen to have an assortment of old frames on hand, Missy from Sonata Home Design has the perfect solution and I bet you'll love it as much as I do! In What to Do with Old Picture Frames in the Garden, our friend shares an absolutely charming way to literally frame your flowers and I for one, can't wait to try it!

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

Are you familiar with the latest "dot cake" craze? Dot cakes are small, cup-sized portions of cake layered with frosting and finished with a smooth, edge-to-edge cap of spherical rainbow nonpareil sprinkles. Sounds yummy! No wonder they're a Tik Toc sensation. Check out Lois of Walking on Sunshine's easy and enticing recipe - Mason Jar Chocolate Chip Dot Cakes - to make your own at home.

Cecilia's Pick

During these hot summer months, it's always a treat to discover a refreshing new-to-me recipe--especially one that doesn't require any cooking like this fabulous Hawaiian Salsa Appetizer shared by Kelli from 3 Boys and a Dog! Drop by for a visit so you can whip up this yummy appetizer in minutes!
