Time Travel Thursday #73 & Talented Time Travelers #72


"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 73rd 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, travel with me back in time to last week, and let's review
some of the creative projects shared by our talented time travelers.


Have you ever wondered why cloches are so popular?  Could it be
that they elevate even the ordinary to extraordinary?

For instance, any one of the single elements of this wonderful vignette, created by
Faye @ Wild Rose Vintage, would be lovely to behold on its own,
but grouped together under glass, they make the most
 fabulous holiday statement.


Isn't this the cutest little side table?  Would you believe it's made from several
different, unrelated components?  It's the clever creation of catnap.


Bessyboo @ SISTERKINS shared a terrific tutorial for a
holiday centerpiece using pinecones.  And the design possibilities are as
far-reaching as your imagination.


These beautiful cards are the handiwork of Kathi @ South Bay Studio.
I just love Kathi's work and if you do too, you will be happy to know
she sells these—and many other of her gorgeous cards—
in her Etsy shop.


Well, that wraps up another party AND another month!
Can you believe it?   ; )

Time Travel Thursday #72 & Talented Time Travelers #71

Welcome to the 72nd 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 take a peek at some of the creativity linked by
last week's talented time travelers first.


When you saw this feature last week, were you able to guess
the mystery item protruding from the log?  Well, if you guessed a piece
of weathered garden hose, you guessed correctly—something
I did not do.   ; )


It's the night before Thanksgiving, but
it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas around Blogland.

 Emily @ Bargain Bound has gotten a jolly jumpstart on her
holiday decorating with this fabulous wreath she created.


Abstract art?  Not exactly.  This pretty project was part of a school 
art lesson taught by Jamie @ Jamie's Jumbles.  And though we're 
just under the wire for the holiday, this fun idea is simple enough to incorporate as part
 of your Thanksgiving festivities tomorrow—with the adults, as well as children.


I like simple, fun, and stylish projects.  This colorful scarf, created
 by Kim @ MADE IN A DAY, fits that bill all the way around!


Inspired by these totally terrific upcycled Lazy Susans
 found on Pinterest, The Vintage Chateau decided to give a little
frenchy love to one of her very own.

Be sure to pop by and take a peek!

That's a wrap for yet another week. 

May your Thanksgiving be blessed
with love, laughter, and a
heart of gratitude!
