Time Travel Thursday #52 & Talented Time Travelers in Focus #51


"We all have our time machines. Some take us back, they're called memories.
Some take us forward, they're called dreams."
~Jeremy Irons~



Starting this month, I'm changing things up a bit.

Instead of posting something of a personal nature for the party, I'll be featuring participants
 from the previous week—combining Time Travel Thursday
with Talented Time Travelers in Focus.

There are more fun changes on the horizon at the Brambleberry Cottage, as well,
so stay tuned.  ; )


We all love a good yard sale, right?  But it's all the more fun,
when the venue looks like this!
Go visit Sandy @ Cottage Style Decorating to take a peek at the goods she scored 
during this adventure.


One of the things that many of us love about cottage style is the relaxed, unpretentious,
and effortless elegance of it all.  And our trash-to-treasure creations simply add to that charm.

This vintage lamp-turned-stand that Pam @ White Ironstone Cottage uses for displaying hats
 is a prime example.


There are lots of "harried" gardeners plagued with unwanted bunny visitors.

At the Brambleberry Cottage, we actually encourage these furry guests into
our yard—by keeping our yard full of clover, plantain, and similar natural treats—all on purpose...
 of course.  ; )

If you prefer to ban the bunnies, Kerry @ HouseTalkN has an all natural solution.

So, now what do you have to share?


IF YOU LINK TO THE PARTY, PLEASE BE SURE TO LINK BACK TO THE BRAMBLEBERRY COTTAGE ON YOUR BLOG.

Happy Fourth of July!



"And I'm proud to be an American, where at least I know I'm free.


And I wont forget the men who died, who gave that right to me.


And I gladly stand up, next to you, and defend her still today.


‘Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land,
God bless the USA."
~Lee Greenwood~


Happy 4th!
