Happy New Year Shoestring Elegant and TFT Friends

Hi friends. Welcome back. I pray you all had a safe and Happy Christmas. Can you believe tomorrow is the last day of 2021?! How is that even possible?? I'm afraid I'm a bit in denial and trying to hold onto Christmas as long as I can. :)  Thank you, all, who have joined me at the Thursday Favorite Things Party over the past year and years. Thank you to those of you who used to join me at the What to do Weekends Party, before that! February will mark 10 years that I have been at this blogging gig. Time flies when you're having fun, eh?! 

God's Blessings on us all as we head into this New Year. 

Let's share the spotlight on a few posts that caught my eye from our last party. 

Rachelle from My Hubbard Home's Christmas Cranberry Champagne Cocktail isn't what I typically feature, as I have made a point of not featuring alcohol, but Rachelle makes this fabulous Cranberry simple syrup for her cocktail and that's something I do love! So, there you go, there's always an exception to the rule. 

Where Does the Time Go?! (TFT Christmas Edition)

 Good morning and welcome back friends! Eight days until Christmas Eve. Why does it seem like it takes forever to get to this month then it flies by in a blink! 

Believe it or not, I am woefully unprepared for this week's party. You see, yesterday was my Birthday and the day after my booster shot, so it turned out a bit dicey. All good now, but I'm rushing to beat the clock! I hope you will all be patient with me.  There won't be a party next week, as we're certain you all would rather be celebrating with your families. Now,  Let's peek at some features! 

Claire Justine's Christmas Yule Log

A Christmas Centerpiece Your Friends Are Going To Love on Shoestring Budget

 Hello Friends, Welcome! Are you enjoying the Most Wonderful Time of the Year?! I truly am, and I'm sure feeling grateful for so many things this year, and yet, praying for so much relief for so many, as well. If you are joining me from Katherine's Blog Tour, thank you for continuing the tour from Simple Nature Décor blog.

 I was honored and humbled when Katherine asked me to join this incredible group of ladies. If you follow me at all, whether on Facebook, Pinterest, Instagram, or right here, you know that I LOVE Christmas!

(This is the teaser image I sent Katherine. God Bless her for letting me join along with just this to show!)

Happy Christmas Time @ the TFT

Merry Christmas time, friends.  Are you all getting ready? We sure are in full swing here. Last weekend, my sisters, nieces and Mum had our Annual Christmas baking day. Several thousand pieces later, we're done! Loved every minute but glad to have it over with. Mind you, that was just the cookies, squares and candy. All the regular baking is still going on.  From the looks of last week's party, you've all been busy too! Let's look at a couple that caught my eye!

Happy December!

 

It's official! The Most Wonderful Time of the Year is here!  Happy December, friends! I'm SO excited and so happy you are here joining me. Everybody brought wonderful Christmas inspiration to last week's party. You got me feeling behind, so I finally got on with it and finished my new post. I'm sharing my new Favorite recipe for my Ameretti cookies here. I hope you enjoy them. We can't get enough! On to our party for this week's Thursday Favorite Things! Here are just a few of your Seasonally perfect posts! 

Amber from Follow the Yellow Brick Road shared her adorable DIY Nordic Christmas Gnomes

Italian Amaretti Cookies - Possibly the Easiest and Tastiest Cookie You'll Ever Make!

These cookies are absolutely delicious and they couldn't be easier! 

They are also gluten-free and added fat-free! And other than egg whites no-dairy! The shocker...They are the best cookies I have ever made or eaten!

Hi friends, welcome.  I'm going to share with you my absolute New Favorite Recipe with you and it's, probably, the easiest I've ever made.  It's also one of the most delicious cookies I've ever tasted! 

Thanksgiving's Over... Bring On The Christmas!

Good morning friends, I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving celebration.  I don't know about you, but I am definitely ready to bring on Christmas Everything! 

Did any of you get your tree yesterday? I didn't yet, but I'm so jealous of those that do! 

You all are doing a great job of bringing on the Christmas Inspirations here! I've been busy baking and decorating and keep forgetting to take pictures. You all do that so wonderfully. Thank you!  Pop back over in a couple days and I will surprise you all with a fantastic new recipe, with pictures, that you're going to love.  With that said, welcome to this week's late edition of Thursdays Favorite Things! Here are your Features!

Ready For Thanksgiving? ... Tons of Ideas

"Autumn On A Tray" Blog Tour

I'm so excited to be joining Katherine from Katherine's Corner and a wonderful group of top talented bloggers to share my "Comforts of Fall Centerpiece" as my contribution to Katherine's Autumn On a Tray Blog Tour! 

Loving November & Getting Ready to Fall Back!

November is here, friends!  I couldn't be more thrilled. I just love this month and it, sadly, always seems to go by too quickly. After all, it is the beginning of the most wonderful time of the year.  I am also in love how almost everyone remembers how much we have to be grateful for. How I wish the feeling lasted longer.  I’m grateful for you, today. Thank you all SO MUCH for your beautiful comments! I may not always get to respond to all of them, but I AM ALWAYS blessed by reading each and every one of them.  

Are you ready to Fall back?! Don't forget to set your clocks back Saturday night before you go to bed. Consider this your friendly reminder. It is this Sunday! 

Thank you for joining me, once again, at this week’s Thursday Favorite Things party! I’m so glad you are here. 

If you have a chance, pop back by on Saturday, as I will be joining an awesome group of ladies for Katherine’s “Autumn On a Tray” Blog Tour. I think it will be great fun! 

Let’s take a look at what you shared at last week’s party!

Judith from Botanic Bleu's Simple French Country Fall Kitchen is absolutely stunning.  These are the kitchens of my dreams. Thank you, Judith.  You all must go see the rest.  

Goodbye October... Hello November!

 Welcome friends! Happy last week of October. Can you believe it? One of my favorite months is almost gone in what felt like a flash! We got rain!  No small statement for California. And, although there were some minor issues with the heavy "Cyclonic Bomb" or "Atmospheric River" of rain, most everyone I know is just as thrilled and hopeful as I that we are getting some relief.  Thank you all for your well wishes for us.  Here's praying for more, normal and regular rain for the Season and, just possibly, our drought.  The rain gave me plenty of time to enjoy baking and decorating. It was a good month. I hope yours was too. 

Onwards and upwards to the Thursday Favorite Things party for this beautiful week.  Wishing you all a safe and healthy September 1st and Halloween, if you have little ones.

Rain, Pumpkins and a Whole Lot of Beauty! (TFT Link Party)

October 21st already, friends, and we HAVE RAIN in Northern California!!  Soon all of California with the systems through this weekend! They are saying that these are, OFFICIALLY, ending our very long, large, devastating, and costly fire Season.  All I can say and do is Praise the Lord! Thank you to all of you who have prayed along with me for those tragic fires to end. Though this won't take us out of the drought, it's a darn good start in the right direction!

Can you see me? I LOVE to dance in the rain! 

Alright with that piece of good news conveyed, I can move on to welcoming you to this week's Thursday Favorite Things Party! And, I do welcome you and thank you for joining me each week.

Magical October

 Welcome friends! Happy Thursday. How are you enjoying October? "I'm so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers"-from Anne of Green Gables author, Lucy Maud Montgomery I couldn't agree more.  I'm so enjoying the crisp morning air. I hope you're all enjoying the beginnings of Autumn as well. 

Quickly, Theresa, get on with the party! Okay, here we go. Link up, enjoy, visit, inspire or get inspired! 

Just Look at Emily from Le Cultivateur's Magical Fall Evening Table Isn't it just dreamy?! 

October Celebrated! (TFT Party)

 Good morning, friends, and welcome back! I can happily say that today was our first, here in Northern California, real Fall-feeling day! Thank God! It was actually chilly this morning! Yay! And, although there's only a slight chance, there's a chance just the same, for some potential light showers one morning in the forecast. Squealing with excitement. It's not just that I love the rain, (even though I really do!) but the drought conditions and fires here have been so bad that were on rationing again...which I don't mind, but what a glorious relief it could be for our poor, overworked firefighters, not to mention our farmers, many who have had to sell off livestock and change their entire lives. So, without going too much further into that, rain in the forecast! Double Yay! 

A Little Whimsical Fall Fun!

Good morning friends! It's a wonderful time to celebrate a few Whimsical decorations! I had a lot of fun going through all your wonderful offerings from last week's party. So much incredible, beautiful and yummy inspiration, but I thought it was time to celebrate the whimsier side of the decorating process. Here a just a few examples of some fun decor! Thanks for sharing everyone! 

Simple Autumn Ladder Update

Happy Fall 2021... Bring On The Colors!

The Fall Countdown Continues with These Beautiful Ideas

Good morning and welcome back. Less than two weeks, and I am counting!! As a matter of fact, I am so excited I had to get these sweet slipcovers to help me ready my house for September 22nd, AKA Fall/Autumn, AKA my favorite time of the year. If you are anywhere near my neck of the woods you'd know we just made it through several days of 100+ degree weather, so, no, it cannot come soon enough! 

Meanwhile, if you're an Amazon affiliate, these would be an awesome choice! There were four in total and I love them! 

Moving on, welcome to this week's TFT party! Thank you for joining me. I hope this finds you all safe and well and comfortable where you are. Let's look at some of the wonderful things you shared last week!

Happy September!

Happy September! Welcome back.  Praying for rain in California and praying for a cease in Ida's path.  I hope you all are safe and well where you are. I'm hoping September turns out to be our month, friends! The turn around time of sorts.  Meanwhile, I am always Amazed at all the beauty you all share every week! Take a look at a few that called to me from last week's party. Blessings, friends.

Having Fun Jumping the Gun! (TFT Party)

Welcome back, friends!  If I'm jumping the gun on excitement for the upcoming Seasons, it's wonderful to know I'm not alone! You all are sharing some awesome inspirations for Fall/Autumn... even a few for Christmas! I.. Can't.. Wait! ☺️ But, that's me! I canned this week! 12 jars of Tomato Pepper Jam and 11 jars of Strawberry Rhubard! Definitely my happy place! Let's see what you were doing! 

Rachelle from My Hubbard Home's A Beautiful Tablescape for Autumn Entertaining is simply stunning.

My goodness, friends, I, literally, could have pinned all week!! You all are sharing so many wonderful projects, DIY's, Inspiration and the Recipes! Thank you so much for joining us and me here.  Can you tell by my title I'm still counting down the days until Autumn?! 41 more days! I know I'm jumping the gun a bit.  

But, I'm finally getting an evening to breath, after numerous days of busyness and couldn't be more thrilled. What more perfect way to end a great day than to share some of your wonderful posts! As I said I could have Pinned and Featured some 200+ link ups! Here are the ones that caught my eyes first!

 Welcome friends! Next we meet we will be in the first week of August! Inching closer and closer to Fall!

I know they're jumping the gun a bit, but still.... Onto your Thursday Favorite Things party and a few wonderfully and inspirational Features. 

From the Happy Gardener, Black Currant & Champagne Grapes Pavlova I love Pavlova! Her recipe looks like a real winner! 

Summer Eats!

 Welcome friends! Can you believe how absolutely fast this month has gone?! We are already heading into August in just 8 short days! I pray that you are all safe from the fires and the extreme heat. As of this date, we are, here, in my section of Northern California, still safe from the huge fires further up north. Praising God and ever so thankful. Praying for the thousands going through them this year. That has not been the case many previous years. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend and thank you for sharing your beautiful links with me. 

This week’s features are…

The Painted Apron’s Summer Peach Pizza with Prosciutto, Burrata & Basil

Do you have exciting plans to celebrate this Independence Day?! I'm enjoying our unseasonably low temperatures this week. I'm sure it won't last but I'm celebrating every single day while it does. Here are a small sampling of the wonderful posts from last week's party.

Since it is so close,  Happy Summer!

I must admit I'm awfully excited for Farmer's market again!

Time To Dine Outside!

Welcome friends. It is that wonderful time of year where we can once again enjoy our yards and all the beauty they have to offer. So I chose a couple of features from last weeks party that embraced the outside and the beauty that is easily added if you have the right pieces on hand. Yet, we need not be so elaborate to enjoy eating out! A beautiful floral tablecloth and some blooms from your garden will suffice. 

Although, Lori from Dining Delight’s gorgeous and inviting Lilacs and Butterflies Tea Party for Two is awfully tempting.  

Happy June!

Happy Thursday and Happy June, my friends! a brand new month in front of us, I hope you all are well and enjoying the "unofficial" start to Summer. I'm dreading the heat but excited for all else the Summer has to offer. It appears you are all preparing your home and your kitchens, too. Thank you all for joining us here.  Let's see some of the highlights from last week! 

Claire Justine's Lemon Elderflower Cheesecake looked absolutely heavenly. 

May's Last Hurrah!

Mason Jar Crafts, gorgeous Citrus Tablescapes, Yummy Blueberry Recipes... what’s not to love about this week’s TFT party?! Absolutely nothing! I love them all!  Welcome back to the Thursday Favorite Thing party. I’m so glad you are here. Can you believe there are only 4 days left 'til June? Only 24 until Summer! Eeks! I know some of you are counting the days, I, myself, am trying to hold onto every last day of Spring, before those really hot Summer days arrive. Oh well, maybe this Summer will surprise me! Happy Spring, friends. :) Here we go!

Did you see Barbara from Mantel and Tables post How To Set a Spectacular Citrus Table?? So absolutely gorgeous! 

Springing into Summer! (This Week’s TFT Party)

Good morning and Happy Thursday! I am so happy you are here! What a great day for Thursday Favorite Things, right? 

This week I'm actually sharing a new post with you, too!! Yes, it's true! LOL, It has taken me a while, but you have all inspired me so much! If you have a chance check out my recipe share with you for some yummy Depression Era Potato Rolls. They are divine. Now, on to your wonderful Features from last week's party. If you missed it, be sure and click Here to see all the beauty shared.

Organized Island shared this Festive charcuterie Salami Roses

Delicious Depression-Era Potato Rolls

 If you’ve been following me for a while, you know that I love to bake. The problem is...I've been so busy baking and sharing, I keep forgetting to take photos to share all the yumminess with you all! It may only matter to me and a few others, but I  simply will not post a recipe if I can not show you the steps.  Because I firmly believe,  more often than not, the "How" of a recipe is just as important, if not more, than the "What" to baking.   I think I have baked more in the last year than ever before. I’m so grateful that I have this particular gift, it has made me happy and feel useful in a time where that isn't always easy to do.  That brings me to the recipe I am sharing with you today. It's a wonderful old, and I do mean old, 1930, to be exact, depression-era recipe for Potato Rolls or Buns whichever your preference.

Our Favorite Things This May!

Hello friends. Welcome to Thursday Favorite Things! I'm so grateful you are here. Gosh, you all are booking right along with so much creativity and inspiration. I really can't get over it.  If I had the time, you would all be featured! It's like splitting hairs for me to try and pick just a few of your posts to highlight but I did my best. Thank you all for each and every one of your comments.  Please know I appreciate and read every single one with joy in my heart, even if I can't respond at the time.  Thank you! With that, we're off to a new week and another party. Enjoy. 

Kicking it off, is Niky from The House on Silverado's Thrift Store Farmhouse Sign

National day of Prayer, May Love & the TFT Party

Welcome friends! I hope "merry is the month of May" is true for you, and continues to exceed your expectations!  Today is the National Day of Prayer. I'm praying for us all.  I hope you will too. 

Does anyone else find it odd that in the Winter months we turn our heater up all the time and, yet, in the Summer months we keep the house open at night to try and get the temperature down to at least 10 degrees cooler than what we just liked a couple months before??

C'est la vie!

Enjoy the party!

Here are some highlights from last week's party!

Good morning, sweet friends! I hope you all are having a wonderful week. I know some of you are still living with rain and cool temps, can I just say I'm jealous.  I guess you always want what you don't have. 80's here several days in the past week and I'm not ready! Although, I must admit I do love the roses in bloom and seeing the dormant garden come to life once again. 

This time of year is always a mixed blessing for me, being a fall/winter enthusiast.  You all are surely sharing the beauty of the Season and I'm grateful for you.  Happy TFT party time! Time for a new week and new inspirations. First, here are a few of your beautiful shares from last week's party.

More Incredible Spring DIY's and Inspirations

Good morning sweet friends.  What a wonderful day we had here yesterday! Rain, hail, thunder,  oh my! I loved every single minute of it!  I just love the sound of the rain falling, especially when I'm warm inside and baking.  We had just enough days of sun for me to go out and harvest some of my lemons and my neighbor's oranges.  Perfect zest for my scones.  Oh so yummy.  The days are getting longer and this weekend an hour longer still. Don't forget to turn your clocks forward! Let's celebrate what you all were sharing last week.  Here are your features.  

Carol from Blue Sky at Home's Easy Faux Flower Spring Arrangements

Happy Thursday and the first week of March! I am so excited that you dropped by. As much as I am a Fall/Winter person, I am truly enjoying all the Spring inspiration you all are sharing. And, even though, I, too, am experiencing COVID fatigue, the rain in our future seems promising and exciting!   I hope you enjoy all of the inspiration you find at the party. We have the best bloggers and they are all so creative. Hope you like the features!

Goodbye February...I Will Miss You (This Week's TFT Party!)

Hello and welcome! Happy Thursday! Well, my friends, February is just about over. (insert sad face here). For those of you that had to deal with the cold weather, heavy snow, and blizzards, I am terribly sorry and certain you’re happy to see it go. However, for those of us in Northern California, we could use more rain, still, so I’m not quite ready for spring to get here just yet. That being said, I have to admit I'm loving the early blooms and blossoms I see dotting my little town, here and there. Thank you for sharing so much beauty and creativity, every single week. Here are just a few of the highlights from last week's party...

I Love Pam from Everyday Living's Winter Flower Therapy I am a firm believer in flower therapy and practice this same philosophy in my home.

Mid February and We are Still Loving Here!

 Good morning, and Happy Thursday! I'm so glad you are here.  I pray you are all safe and warm and not in one of the blizzard areas that have lost power! I can't imagine! Please stay safe and healthy and, God willing, warm. I hope you enjoy all of the inspiration you find at the party. We have the best bloggers and they are all so creative. I truly hope you like the features!
