The memento handkerchief wreath is gorgeous. I don’t have the patience (or the handkerchiefs and pretty old-fashioned costume jewelry) to make one though, so I just sit back and admire the creativity that you uncover for us from others. I never cease to be amazed by how creative and inventive (mostly) women are 🙂
Great post today! Lots of goodies. I especially like the pot roast gyros idea and hankie wreath.
Hope you’re well.
I’ve got to try that Thai crunch salad.
Anyway, maybe 3rd times a charm…
I was commenting that I liked the handkerchief wreath with the vintage jewelry. Years ago, I took old hankies and made angels for my Christmas tree. They were unique and pretty. I also said I like the serene room. I find the colors and artwork to be very soothing.
Interesting… my first comment vanished before I could post it. Now my second comment is being held for moderation. An I doing something wrong? It’s not the first time my comments have vanished. It’s so weird.
I love the handkerchief wreath with the vintage jewelry. Years ago, I made handkerchief angels for my Christmas tree. They were beautiful and each one was different. So pretty! I also like the idea of a serene bedroom. The soothing colors and artwork make it very inviting.
