Time Travel Thursday #97 & Talented Time Travelers #96


"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 97th 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 check out some of the wonderful things
shared by some of our talented time travelers at last week's party.


Have you ever wanted to shop the
flea markets of different countries?

I certainly have!

And if France is on your dream list, Simone @ Fleaing France
can make your dream a reality.


Very often, something wonderful comes from our initial
failed attempts—if we'll just keep at it.

Lorrie @ Finding Secret Treasure almost gave up on transforming
what was a tired-looking old breadbox.

But her persistence paid off.
 Just look at her transformed treasure now!


shared a collection of her wonderful mirrors.

But...
 it was this incredible old shutter, with chippy white paint,
 that really captured my attention.


Sometimes, it takes a bit longer than we like
to make our decorating dreams a reality.

 it was nearly a year from conception to finished project.
But it was so worth the wait!


Growing up, my sweet mom would make each
of her five daughters their favorite dessert on special occasions. 

Mine was made-from-scratch coconut cake.

The Brady girls @ Cookin' Up Good Times shared a recipe
for homemade coconut cake that sounds
totally scrumptious.


Not only does Nann At Nanns Table know how
to wow her guests with gorgeous tablescapes, she delights
 them with tasty treats like her Chocolate Raspberry Decandence Dessert
with White Mousse and Raspberry Sauce.

Are you drooling yet?

Now that we've ended last week's features on such a sweet note...
let's get this party started!!!   ; )

  5. Yes, I'm drooling! I love coconut cake, too. Thanks for featuring my chippy, white shutter that I snagged from the neighbor's garbage pile. I'll have to let her know that her cast-off was featured. :)

  17. THANKYOU, Thankyou Thankyou for your wonderful feature of my decadent dessert. I'm just thrilled to death. I still don't know how to put 'gadgets' on my side bar but hope to learn soon. I am so honored!

    I am SO late in linking up this week. I gave a birthday luncheon yesterday and it literally consumed all my time getting ready for it. Know that I love your parties and being part of them! Also I love your header! Did you do it yourself or did you have it done? If so please let me know who the designer was. Thanks so much and thanks again for the feature!!!
