Time Travel Thursday #90 & Talented Time Travelers #89

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

Some take us forward, they're called dreams."

Welcome to the 90th 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 you know that we simply must pay tribute to

some of our talented time travelers from last week first.

Spring has sprung all over Blogland. 

And it's so much fun to wander through the blogosphere and see

how much color has burst onto the scene.

Just take a look below to see what I mean!   ; )

When I saw Angelina's incredible sewing room

@ Ruby Jean, my jaw practically hit the floor!

This is, by far, one of the prettiest work spaces I've ever seen.

Eilis @ My Heart Lives Here has happily joined the

spring "color" parade.

The cute little bunny—sweetly tucked into an apothecary

 filled with brightly-hued jelly beans—is but

one of her lovely spring vignettes.

We're all familiar with the versatility of burlap.

Gina @ Random Thoughts tapped into that versatility to

create this charming spring wreath. 

AND...

she was kind enough to share her how-tos.

One of the reasons daffodils are my favorite spring flower

is that they infuse their surroundings with such sunny brilliance.

When Laura @ Elegant Nest added them to her mantelscape,

 their vibrant pop of color brought the whole vignette to life.

If you want a fun way to add a

splash of cheery color to your sewing or crafting space,

 just follow the lead of Mary @ Mary's Meanderings.

With a few simple supplies, you can bring your pretty notions front

and center, where they can be enjoyed every day.

Now, how will you color our world this week?   ; )

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?
