Hello friends! I wish I could invite you to come sit on the front porch with me. We'd turn on the ceiling fans, sip a glass of iced tea, and relax, but we would not be sitting there in the middle of the afternoon, because we'd melt! Is it hot in your neck of the woods? It's been scorching here in North Carolina.
Hot or not, I'm so glad to welcome you to the Grace at Home party, where we celebrate the ways we make our homes places of grace and beauty. Here are some features from our last party I think you'll enjoy.
Want to cover up your fireplace for the summertime? Diane from In My Own Style shows you how to make a decorative screen quickly and inexpensively.
Got a bunch of ribbon that needs to be organized? Ann from The Apple Street Cottage shows you how to make a ribbon holder (and she has a lot of ribbon!).
If you prefer your patriotic decor not to be understated, you'll enjoy visiting Debbie from Debbie-Dabble Blog, who goes all out with the red, white, and blue.
If you're just hoping to get away this summer, you'll appreciate this list of destinations from Dave and Jamie of PhotoJeepers.
Looking for a yummy summertime treat? Michelle at The Wooden Spoon Effect shares a key lime cookie recipe that looks delicious.
Thank you to everyone who linked up! Now for today's party.

Whatever you do to make your home or sphere of influence a place of grace, I'd like to hear about it. Here's what I ask of you. Please include the permalink to your post, not your blog's home page. Please let people know that you've linked up. No more than three posts per person, please. Note that if you link a post here, you are giving me permission to share your post, including a photo. And visit at least one of the other party participants--that's what really makes it a party!
Hello Richella. Our heat index was 109 yesterday, much too hot to be outdoors. Thanks so much for hosting and stay cool in the sweltering heat!
ReplyDeleteHey Richella - Nancy and I thank you for the soul food shout out!
ReplyDeleteGood summer morning, Richella! Yes, it's hot here, too. I believe it was 106 yesterday though we don't have your humidity. But I can still enjoy sitting outside in the morning with the fan going.
ReplyDeleteRichella,

It's been very hot here in TN--we've even had heat advisories this week. I hope that's not an indication of a hot summer to come! I am thankful for AC and fans.
ReplyDeleteRichella, here we are on the brink of summer solstice! Life is imitating the outdoors with my garden party tablescape this week in celebration. Have a wonderful weekend.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for featuring my mini flags, Richella! Thank you for hosting this great party too! I am spoiled here in So Cal...still got June Gloom(low 70's) going on..but it is a little more humid than usual. Hope in cools down a little over there! Have a blessed weekend.

Those Nancy Drew books sure do bring back some childhood memories! Thank you so much for featuring my garden printable. I appreciate it!
ReplyDeleteWe're having a heat wave in my neck of the woods, too. But most days sipping tea on a porch with ceiling fans going sounds lovely to me.
ReplyDeleteNo heat wave here - yet! give it time. Thank you for featuring my ribbon holder.
ReplyDeletePorch sitting sounds lovely. But not where I live in the summer!
ReplyDeleteSTILL waiting for some hot weather, but it's warm enough to encourage my tomatoes!
