Time Travel Thursday #89 & Talented Time Travelers #88


"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 89th Time Travel Thursday linky party at The Brambleberry Cottage!

Are you ready to share your fondest memories, grandest dreams,
and most creative projects? Great!

First, let's see what kind of creativity was linked
to last week's party by our talented time travelers.


Do you like vintage hats?  I do!

And I often find them at some of my
favorite shopping venues—auctions,
flea markets, thrift stores, and yard sales.

But...
more often than not, the prettiest ones 
cost more than I care to spend, and the more affordable ones are,
well...
just way too plain.

Carol @ The Polka Dot Closet has the perfect solution
for my dilemma.  She buys the cheaper plain-Jane versions and turns
 those ugly ducklings into beautiful swans.


No doubt, you're quite familiar with the
beautiful burlap blooms that began popping
up all over Blogland some time ago.

But...have you crafted any yet?

Amy @ Aprons & Ambition has a simple-to-follow tutorial
that will get you producing these pretty posies with the greatest of ease.


Take a look at this "sweet" cake.  Those fondant
teddy bears are just too adorable!

 Kagi @ Sweetened by Kagi created this
cute culinary work of art.


If the sweet treat above didn't make your mouth water,
the sight of this chocolatey taste-tempter is
certainly bound to!

You can get the recipe for this super-simple dessert at Delightful Curiosity.
And while you're there, why don't you welcome this
newbie to Blogland.   ; )


Pallet projects are popular DIY themes.  And I've
seen numerous items made from them.  But this was the first
kitchen carryall-shelf that I've seen.

 Adriane @ Pages from Home was the
brainchild for this handy piece.


That wraps up the fun features for last week.
Show us what's been happening in your neck of the woods this week?

    Hi Liz!
    So happy to join the party today! Love last weeks picks. I love old hats too, but I also use them for bases of my music boxes I create. Hope you can stop by soon!
