Time Travel Thursday #107 & Talented Time Travelers #106

"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 107th Time Travel Thursday linky party at The Brambleberry Cottage!

Are you ready to share your fondest memories,

 grandest dreams,and most creative projects? Great!

Wanna revisit a few of our talented time travelers
from last week first?  Of course you do!

I just love ugly-duckling-to-swan

transformations!  Don't you?

Believe it or not, the cozy little nook above was once a

closet in the entry of the home of Kandi @ WOVEN Home.

Be sure to visit Kandi for the before, during,

and after project posts.

This terrific little transformation 

came to us by way of Connie @ Family Home and Life.

She actually "auditioned" several different clock faces

for this redo.  Unfortunately, she's undecided as to which one to use.

Perhaps you would like stop by Connie's and throw in your two

cents worth on the matter.   ; )

This marvelous makeover is the handiwork

 of Kathy @ Life on Lakeshore Drive.

With the power of paint—Annie Sloan Chalk Paint, to be exact—and Kathy's artistic

skill, this once drab sewing cabinet

has become a work of art.

To have a special place that is a reflection of one's

own tastes and interests is truly a blessing.

Mary @ Mary's Meanderings has crafted the most amazing place for her

 personal creative space.  It is simply overflowing

 with the most lovely little vignettes.

And last but not least in our lineup of charming

Cinderella-like makeovers is this lacy little vase.

Carrie @ Hooked on Decorating shared the step-by-step details

for creating this pretty, prissy project.

So what do you want to "wow" us with this week?   ; )

Time Travel Thursday #106 & Talented Time Travelers #105

Welcome to the 106th 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 trip back in time to last week's party

and revisit a few of our talented time travelers first.

Laurel @ The North End Loft was gifted an old watering can—

which sat untouched for an entire season, until inspiration hit.

With paint in hand, she tackled the task of transforming the piece to make it's

patina befitting of its age.  Fabulous faux finish, Laurel!

If you love vintage luggage—you know I do!—then you must pay a visit

to Shannon @ A Southern Belle with Northern Roots.

Not only has she amassed an amazing collection,

but the vignettes she crafts around them are fantastic.

I love vintage, blue mason jars and have

a small collection of my own. 

Unfortunately, they're getting harder to find these days—at reasonable prices,

anyway.  Chris @ My Creatively Vintage Life has

the perfect solution to this problem... 

and the how-to couldn't be any simpler!

If you're looking for ideas for a mouthwatering summer

treat, look no further than Lisa @ Fresh Eggs Daily.

Her take on the traditional s'mores recipe—shortbread instead

of graham cracker, with caramel drizzle added—is a simple, sweet 

treat for the summer heat.
