Well, my friends, we've almost made it through July. Around here that means that the hottest month of the year is nearly over, which is a relief. . . but it also means that the "lazy, crazy, hazy days of summer" are fading fast.
I'm always glad to see what y'all are up to, and here are a few highlights from last week's party.
Want to keep the summertime vibe going in your home? Kristen from White Arrows Home shares lots of ideas for adding nautical touches to your decor.
If you're wanting more of a beachy look, check out this post from Niky at The House on Silverado.
If you're planning a garden for next year, you'll want to see the zinnias from Pam at Everyday Living. I sure wish I'd planted zinnias this spring!
If you'd prefer to stay inside and dream of other seasons, Christmas in July might be just what you need! Mary Jo from MasterPieces of My Life has some great crafting projects for you.
Do you have an antique sewing machine but don't know what to do with it? KMich Wedding Soiree Blog to the rescue! So many great ideas.
Do you enjoy seeing how people fix up a new-to-them house? I do, so I was glad to see this post from Jennifer at Studio 27 about the makeover of her dining room.
Do you struggle to find room to store bulky grill tools? You'll want to see this DIY organizer from Bill and Janet of A Life of Balance.
My boys and I love pepper jelly, but I've never made my own, so I was excited to get this recipe from Stacie at Counting Tomatoes.
If you're in a season of waiting, you'll want to read this post from Amanda at InstaEncouragements.

Happy Thursday, Richella and thank you for hosting and featuring my zinnias. We just returned from the mountains where the highs were low 70’s and back home to the mid 90’s. Enjoy your day and stay cool!
ReplyDeleteI had big hopes for my flower beds this year, but once again when it got so hot, I stayed out of them. lol. But my zinnias have still been pretty!
ReplyDeleteI'm thankful this hot month is almost over and we're one day closer to fall. We don't usually start cooling off til later in September, but I'm looking forward to it!
ReplyDeleteLots of good stuff to check out here! I'm always fascinated by makeovers of both rooms and furniture. I'm decorating my guest room in a beachy theme and love looking at ideas for it.
Thanks so much for sharing my beachy decor, Richella!

ReplyDeleteThis heat has been brutal. My hydrangeas aren’t blooming but the periwinkles, pentas, potato vine, and mandevillia are going crazy. To each his own! We had to move the basil into the shade.
