Time Travel Thursday #99 & Talented Time Travelers #98


"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 99th 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 peek at a few projects from last week before we get started.


Susie @ The Humble Nest of Mrs. V is responsible for the totally
terrific transformation of these two tiny tables.   ; )

She shared her secret weapon for the painted design,
but you'll have to visit her for that tidbit of info.


This bedroom was once bold, beautiful, and...
 ablaze with color.

Anita @ Cedar Hill Ranch calmed things down nicely with her 
lovely, new, soothingly-neutral palette.


I'm always delighted by the charming details
Betsy @ My Salvaged Treasures gives her creations.

Just look at all the beadwork on that fancy hat!  And what about
the lovely lapel pin?  And to think, this used to be
an antique hairbrush.


The idea to use jewelry to create a
wedding bouquet is such a unique one! 

I love the fact that pieces that are special to the bride
can be incorporated into the design.

And that's exactly what Goldie @ The Vintage Texan did with this gorgeous creation.


Vintage photos are so interesting to look at...
and all the more fun when they're old wedding photos.

Stephanie @ Angelic Accents has quite the collection of these
vintage beauties.

And while we're on the subject of weddings...
Stephanie is hosting her third annual Wedding Blog Party on June 8th.
If you love all things wedding, you'll want to be there!

So...
show us what's been happenin' in your world this week?

Time Travel Thursday #98 & Talented Time Travelers #97

Welcome to the 98th Time Travel Thursday linky party at The Brambleberry Cottage!

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

Gotta give a shout-out to some of our
talented time travelers from last week's party, first.


This fabulous dresser-turned-kitchen-island
is proof positive that with a bit of creative genius, even the most
mundane piece of furniture can become a showpiece.

Rosemary @ Ozma of Odds turned her daughter's drab dresser
into this marvelous masterpiece
with the help of Annie Sloan Chalk Paint.


Chandies add charm to any decorating scheme...
and even more so when they are as unique as this creation by Lynne @

The flower-filled peat pots and berry baskets—among the other
features—make this truly a one-of-a-kind piece.


It's always fun to see the fabulous finds that
others discover during their treasure hunts.

Judy @ French Laundry found quite a few goodies during her recent shopping pursuits. 
And one in particular got a wonderful
transformation with Annie Sloan Chalk Paint.


Now, go ahead and strut your stuff again this week!
