Hello, friends! If you're like me, you found that 2020 dragged by, but now 2021 is simply flying. I can hardly believe that we're nearly in the middle of June!
I am so glad to welcome you to the Grace at Home party, where we celebrate the ways we make our homes and other spheres of influence places of grace and beauty. Here are some highlights from last week's party.
Have you seen "living walls" or plant walls and wondered if it's possible to make one yourself? It certainly is—Libbie from A Life Unfolding created one, and she gives a full tutorial for making your own.
Need new chairs for your kitchen table but appalled at the prices of new ones? Meg from Makeable Crafts shows you how she re-created thrift store chairs with new paint and upholstery.
Summertime means that fresh flowers are readily available. If you're like me, you love flower arrangements. Ever wonder if you can make your own? Yes, you can, and Paula from Sweet Pea shows you how to do it step-by-step.
And if you have flowers in your garden, you can dry the petals and make your own potpourri. Lynne from Thrifting Wonderful provides a detailed tutorial for you.
Of course, having a house with a yard or garden means you need to take good care of the property. Kathryn from The Dedicated House provides some crucial information about what you might be doing to attract termites to your home. Yikes!
It seems that good people are arguing about so many things these days. Indeed, some issues are important enough to argue about. But how do you discern where and how to take a stand? Barbara from Stray Thoughts provides some excellent food for thought.

Richella, I read Barbara's post last week and loved it. I'm glad to see it featured here. As always, lots of good things to check out on your linkup. Hope you are able to keep enjoying the out of doors for a while. Blessings!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the mention! I had not heard of a living wall, but it sounds like fun. I better check out the one about termites--sure don't want to attract them!

ReplyDeleteRichella,
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing my living wall this week! You've made my day! Enjoy your weekend!! xx- Libbie
The potpourri made me think of my grandmother. She used to put rose petals in her handkerchief and underwear drawer so the fabric would absorb the fragrance of the flowers. A sweet memory of a lovely lady.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the feature! Hope you're having a lovely weekend! Toodles, Kathryn @TheDedicatedHouse
