Time Travel Thursday #68 & Talented Time Travelers #67


"We all have our time machines. Some take us back, they're called memories.
Some take us forward, they're called dreams."
~Jeremy Irons~


Welcome to the 68th 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 travel back in time and visit a few of
the talented time travelers from last week's party first.


I love the effects of layering—whether it be home dècor, clothing, or jewelry.  All those
lucious layers just seem to add so much more interest.  Case in point: 
this lovely necklace created by Jana @ Artful Panoply.

Jana is a newbie blogger, so be sure to drop by and
show her a bit of bloggy love!


Michelle @ A Pinch of Prim shared some of her current Goodwill finds at the party
last week.  But when I visited her and caught a glimpse of her adorable
papier mâché creations, I just knew I had to
share them with you! 

Discovering new-to-me talent out in
Blogland is one of the fun elements of blogging.


While I thoroughly dislike painting walls and furniture, I've always wanted to learn to
 paint artistically.  To be able to capture beauty on canvas seems
so rewarding.  If you visit FARMHOUSE PORCH you'll be sure to
see a number of pretty pieces by someone who knows
how to work magic with a paint brush.


Do you like quilts?  How about stylish art?  Want to know how to create
one from the other?  Then take a stroll over to The Three Sweet Peas—where
Stacie shared her terrific tutorial for this pretty picture.


Is this not just the cutest bunny?  Shari @ Swinging on a Star Creations
drew this adorable pen and ink creature and then further
enhanced it with watercolors.  You can find the origins of her
unique frame when you visit her.

I love being able to showcase some of the incredible creativity floating through
the blogosphere?  My only regret is that I can't feature
every one of you!

Time Travel Thursday #67 & Talented Time Travelers #66


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

Welcome to the 67th Time Travel Thursday linky party at The Brambleberry Cottage!
Are you ready to share your fondest memories, grandest dreams,
and most creative projects? Great!

But first...
we have a double-feature of talented time travelers from
the past two weeks to acknowledge.


I'm always thrilled when new participants find Time Travel Thursday and
join the party.  And it's even more fun when I discover that they are newbie bloggers,
and I get to introduce them to you.

So please be sure to stop by and give Myric @ Petites Passions 
a warm welcome to Blogland!


It seems that orange and black are no longer the traditional colors of the
season.  I'm sure you've noticed that black and white have been
 the prevailing trend over the past few years.

And that trend is a perfect fit for the seasonal décor at White Whimsy.


Don't you just love the way stencils are being used on everything today?
Michele @ hello lovely inc shared how she has used them
 in a number of pretty applications.


In home décor—as with many things—versatility is a big plus.
When creating her new pillows, Ela @ Scrapidoodlelicious employed that logic
when she made these reversible beauties.


If you want to know how to make this super cute, super simple dry-erase
board, be sure to visit Maggie @ sweetwater baby.


The next best thing to working on a repurposing project myself is seeing
 something that you—my blogging buddies—have given new life to.  The pretty
planter box, hanging on the dark gray wall in the image above, started out
as a piece of vintage molding—that is until the hubby
of Amber @ JUNKAHOLICS UNANIMOUS got
hold of it.


Here's another really cute, really fun, and simple craft project for you. 
Leigh @ Fun to Funky shared a tutorial for making popsicle stick
bracelets.  How cool is that?


Want to see some great vintage pieces?  Then go say hello to Dolly @

Now show us what you've been up to lately!

Time Travel Thursday #66 & Talented Time Travelers #65

Welcome to the 66th Time Travel Thursday linky party at The Brambleberry Cottage!
Are you ready to share your fondest memories, grandest dreams,
and most creative projects? Great!

Unfortunately, my Internet service has been down for days, and I just got it
back up and running!  I'm afraid that's one of the disadvantages
of living in such a remote area.

My thanks go out to Joseph—the technician who restored
my connection with Blogland...
again!   ; )

Needless to say, there was no way to visit all you wonderful
party-goers from the last party, which means 
I have some serious catchin' up to do.

But...
next week, I'll do a double-feature feature
 of some of our talented time travelers—from this party
and the last.

In the meantime...
go ahead and link up your creative selves.   ; )

Welcome to the 65th 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 travel back to last week's party first...
and see some of the creativity linked by our talented time travelers.


Karen @ Brayton Homestead Interiors shared her lovely fall
tablescape, all decked out with bright red apples in a pottery crock—a great
reminder that it's time to pick some apples ya'll.   ; )


I never tire of seeing all of your fabulous fall decorating ideas.
And Wanda @ No Place Like Home had several to show off last week.
The simple beauty above was my favorite.


If you love creative craftiness then you really must
 visit {oc cottage}!  Not only will you find craft ideas to explore,
but you'll be delighted by the humorous prose
of the how-tos.

Now show us what you've been up to lately!
