Time Travel Thursday #70 & Talented Time Travelers #69


"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 70th 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 some of last week's talented time travelers first!


OK, I know we've barely gotten through Halloween, and Thanksgiving is still a few
weeks away.  But the ideas shared by Jenny @ Simcoe Street for Christmas
 decorations are just too fabulous to pass up.

This lovely ornament is filled—quite literally—with memories
of a very special day in Jenny's life, but you'll have to pay her
a visit to get the details.


One of things that I love about today's decorating style
is that it can be so uniquely personal!

Angie @ Knick of Time is a prime example of someone who
decorates with a unique personal style.  Note her entryway—
papered with vintage dictionary pages. 

Besides looking fabulous, she now has plenty of reading material
at hand, should she get bored while working at her desk.   ; )


Most times, stepping outside our comfort zone makes us rather uneasy. 
Though Erin @ salvaged whimsy was a bit unsure about the results
of her shelf makeover,  I think she did a fantastic job.


It was an "Aha!" moment that lead Design Fluff to the creation of
this whimsical eye chart apothecary jar.

I see why she loves it, don't you?


Now, let us see how creative you've been this week.

Time Travel Thursday #69 & Talented Time Travelers #68

Welcome to the 69th 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 check out some of the talented time travelers from
last week's party first.


Unique items made from sheet music abound throughout the blogosphere.
But have you ever seen a crown fashioned from music sheets? This lovely piece
was created by D.E. @ WHITESERENADE.


Gallery walls have made a big comeback over the past few years. 
And I just love the way interesting finds are being incorporated
 into the design.

Linda @ Studio Stuff is revamping her "family" wall with some rather unique
dditions.  Be sure to go take a peek at what she has come up with thus far.


Moving can be a very stressful undertaking—keeping everything "show"
ready."  But even with her house on the market, Nicole @ Sash to Treasure was not
about to pass up an opportunity to decorate for the season.

I think prospective buyers will find her mantelscape charming,
don't you?



You may be wondering why I'm showcasing ghosts in November. 
Elementary, my dear!  Laughter is not bound to a specific time of year.  And the names
given to these adorable apparitions, by Lesley@ FREAKING CRAFT,
were just too humorous to pass up!


You can find the inspiration for home décor in some of the most unusual places.
Tiki @ Ribbons, Lace , and Inspiration found hers in the workshop. 
Her material of choice—shop rags!

So what craftiness do you have up your sleeve
to share this week?   ; )
