Also to all of you who have purchased items from my store...please send me your inspiration pictures, I love seeing what you have done and with your permission would love to add them to my newly added "Your enchanted home" section featuring your homes using my products!
I have over time come across so many amazing posts, posts that have touched me on one level or another, some just really tug at my heart, others totally appeal to my obsession for all things beautiful, some inspire me to run out and start a project and others are just pure eye candy. I always bookmark special posts that are worth keeping and revisiting in ever growing "posts I love" file. Beautiful things never get old!
So......as I do periodically I like to share some favorite posts through my Posts to ponder. IF you have some free time this weekend, its a great way to take a quick trip to "an A list" of beautiful posts all in one fell swoop. I have so many others and obviously it would be impossible to share them all in one post, but in a few weeks i will do this again and promise it will be another treat worth the while! So thanks to all the talented bloggers for putting these together and to all my readers for following along. Wishing everyone a fabulous weekend!
Before we begin since so many of you frequently ask about dear Teddy..he agreed he was finally ready for his closeup and agreed to a photo session (his "spread" will publish next week) But here's the man looking like himself again with his hair growing back......he sends a HUGE thank you for all the love, prayers and kindness you have shown.....
And now for our featured presentation...........(click on links on bottom of each picture to visit)
Home Bunch...check out this beyond dreamy Provencal estate!
The Paper Mulberry...a farmhouse harvest, totally breathtaking
http://thepapermulberry.blogspot.com/2011/09/farmhouse-harvest.html
Roses and Rust.....talk about opulent grandeur!
Splendid Sass...welcome to tablescape heaven!
Conspicuous Style....fabulous home office inspiration!
Classic Casual Home...this takes "taco night" to a whole new elegant level!
Chic Coastal Living...when I grow up I want my beach house to look like this!
Atelier de Campagne...remember that eye candy I mentioned? Here it is......
Haus Design.....droolworthy outdoor inspiration!
Splendid Market...talk about awe inspiring (hope my husband is reading this) Check out the Mothers day feast a bunch of dads, that's right, DAD'S made for these lucky ladies!!
The Enchanted Home.....still love this, a vintage country Christmas!
Jenny Steffens...these meatballs are really really good and the tutorial is fabulous!
Belgian Pearls...excellent and inspiring weekend decoration tips!
The French Tangerine.....talk about one heck of an absolutely beautiful backyard!!
Castles Crowns and cottages...a beautiful and moving tribute to a mother
So there you have it...those should keep you busy for awhile! I included one of my own because its one I actually forgot about until someone wrote me about it yesterday, telling me how much she loved it and that it transported her to her childhood Christmas's spent in Vermont and when I took another look at it.....I got that same warm,fuzzy feeling so wanted to share for anyone who might not have seen it. So many beautiful things to see, I swear scouring the Internet for inspiration could easily become a full time job! Minutes turn to hours and a "quick morning computer check" easily could turn into an all day affair!! But its so much fun and its rather mind blowing just how much there is to see and find and discover! Hope you enjoy and hope you have a fabulous weekend. The sun is shining so I am happy:)
very nice and inviteting..
ReplyDeleteOh hooray! I was just wondering about Teddy yesterday. Love that sweet sugar face of his. If you think to give him a bisous from one of his admirers in Provence, that would be lovely. And speaking of lovely, Oh la there is so much to dig into here. Merci et Bon Weekend Tina!
ReplyDeleteTeddy is so handsome! I am so glad he is getting back to his old self!
ReplyDeleteI always love it when you share blogs of inspiration with us! I will have to spend sometime later this evening checking some of these posts out!
I hope you have a wonderful weekend...I am heading outside to clean Tinker up for a lunch tomorrow!
Hugs from here

Glad to hear Teddy is doing so well. I am off to visit a few of your recommends...I already know several of them. Blessings- xo Diana
ReplyDeleteTina- I just read your country Christmas post and was FLOORED. It was BRILLIANT! I will be keeping one that myself, now off to read the others! I also loved the first one, what a dream of a house.
ReplyDeleteSo great to see Teddy's cute and sweet face smiling for the cameras, cannot wait to see more of his "photo shoot". Have a good weekend.
Good Morning Tina: If only it were raining this morning (glad its not!!)but I am on my way to the nursery to add to my backyard plantings. Can't wait to refer to many of your favorite posts!! Most importantly, little Teddy looks wonderful. I feel like I know him! Have a wonderful weekend! Mary Anne ox
ReplyDeleteTeddy looks so wonderful and happy and just like my Dylan, what handsome men they are and Teddy looks great! So glad he's feeling back in the pink.
ReplyDeleteYour recommendations are some of my favorites. I'm off to visit the one or two I haven't been to before.
Enjoy your weekend!

Such a lovely way to share images, Tina. I love this idea, as well as the one with your purchaser's images in your shop. Totally cool.
ReplyDeleteOh it was so good to see Teddy!!! I love him! Dillon just had surgery this week, and it was hard going through that, so I know how difficult your experience was with Teddy's attack...well Dillon is on the mend too, its just hard to see our loved ones go through tough times...ok now Ive got time to take a peek at one of your posts above...
ReplyDeleteHello Tina, I have not clicked on them all yet, but will do when I am relaxing on our newli finished patio (: where I wiil pour some beer out of your silver crest!
ReplyDeleteTeddy seems recovered and strong looking, big dog ...that is great. Have a lovely weekend, Z
Welcome home Teddy!!! Tina, I'm new to your blog and just read the history of what happened - what a nightmare! I too have a precious, gentle golden retriever, I can't imagine the horror of him being attacked. Please do keep us posted on what happens with those three monster dogs, it's so scary to think that family has young children living under the same roof with such viciousness. Wishing you peace and love, big hugs to Teddy!
ReplyDeleteIt's never too early
ReplyDeleteto start thinking about
Christmas, right?!
Looking forward to
popping in and having
a look at some of these....
Hugs to you and Teddy!
xo Suzanne
What a great idea, I went through a few and can see why you felt they were "keepers". Thanks for sharing, and how wonderful to see Teddy's cute little face, he looks great and so happy. Whatever happened to those monsters who did this to him? I hope you will keep us posted, Tina.
ReplyDeleteWelcome back, Teddy Old Boy. You look great. And it's good news to hear that you are doing well.

ReplyDeleteSo happy to see Teddy is up for making appearances. Great post as we transition from Sping to Memorial Day Weekend and yes onto Summer. Where does the time go?

Happy weekend to you!
