Talented Time Travelers in Focus #9

BE SURE TO CHECK OUT THE DETAILS FOR ALL THREE NEW LINKY PARTIES HERE AT THE COTTAGE!

And now it's time to take a peek at some of the talented travelers who took the trip for Time Travel Thursday last week.

Lindy @ Cottage Hill knew just what to do to add vintage charm to her new curio cabinet.  Perfect touch, Lindy!

We all love those super special finds from HomeGoods, and when I first saw this sweet, little work of art, that's where I thought it came from.  But, it's actually the creation of Kristi @ Cutting Above.  HomeGoods has nothing on you, Kristi!

By the way, you need to go check out the cool giveaway @ Cutting Above!

Olivia @ Olivia's Romantic Home desperately wanted a fireplace–something every cozy home needs.  She came up with a solution that is utterly romantic!

We bloggers are a crafty lot.  We see something we like–but can't necessarily justify the cost to buy it–so we create our own version of it.

That's exactly what Shannon @ Shannon Makes Stuff did with this super cool subway art panel.

Lamps can be a big decorating expense when purchased new.  But talented time travelers like Melody @ Big Doll's Boomtown see past the outdated offerings at Goodwill and update their purchases with passion.

As a collector of vintage ephemera, I'm always looking for ways to display my treasures and keep them protected at the same time.  Vintage and Cottage had a great solution with this memo board.

Are you as ready to say goodbye to the sweltering summer heat as I am? 

Well, Amanda @ The Penny Parlor is helping to set the mood for fall with her terrific little transformation.  You must check this piece out to see its state before she gave it her TLC.

And that's it for another week.

As always, great job, Time Travelers!
