Time Travel Thursday #116 & Talented Time Travelers #115


"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 116th 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 see some of the creativity linked last week by our
 talented time travelers first?  Of course you do!   ; )



Fall is my absolute favorite time of the year
It's a time for slowing down the pace of our lives and preparing to
spend more time sheltered indoors.

It's also a time for pulling together pretty vignettes
indicitive of the season—like this beauty by Donna @ Donna's Designs.


And with the change of the season, our
thoughts turn toward all things warm and snuggly—like this
lovely blanket by Jeanette @ This Dusty House.

It's sure to keep one cute little pumpkin as
 snug as a bug in a rug.

Time Travel Thursday #115 & Talented Time Travelers #114

Welcome to the 115th 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 check out some of our tremendously
 talented time travelers from last week first.


From the moment I spied my first charming
coffee filter wreath out in blogland, I was totally hooked.

And this gorgeous fall rendition by Lisa @ RECAPTURED Charm 
has me wanting to run right out and purchase some unbleached filters
to create my very own autumn beauty.


Part of the joy of decorating with old salvage materials
is coming up with some fun, funky way to reuse it.

The unique personal touches that Amber @ WhatAmberLoves added to the panes
of her vintage door not only gave it more pizazz, but her ways with
display brought the old piece to new heights.   ; )


When looking for a fresh, new way to display her jewelry,
Megan, the daughter of Sharon @ Elizabeth & Co., decided to
pull from one of the pins to her Pinterest boards.

To find these cool, industrial spools, she
had to look no further than her mom's stash of goods.


I grew up with quilts, so I'm quite nostalgic
about them.  I have fond memories of snuggling beneath them
on cold winter nights at my grandparents' farm.

This lovely hourglass version by Q @ JAQS studio looks like it came right
out of my grandmother's linen closet.


As the days grow shorter and the nights get cooler, our thoughts turn
toward ways to create warmth inside
our homes—physically and decoratively.

This inspiring idea by Amanda @ Bullfrogs and Bulldogs for using
 cozy, neutral-colored yarn to wrap Styrofoam balls
 is one I might just have to emulate.

What wonderfully creative ideas do you have to share this week?
