Hi there, Friends! Happy New Year's Eve! As we usher in a new year, I like to pause to reflect on the year that's passed. The 2017 favorites include an assortment of thrifty repurposed and upcycled projects, seasonal garden decor, and junkin' adventures. As is often the case, I was somewhat surprised by the two most popular posts of the year, and as always I'd love to hear your personal favorites...

ReplyDeleteCan't pick just one favorite: I made an herb drying spoonrack like yours, loved the wreathe post that I hadn't seen before, loved living vicariously through your Texas Antique Week and Round Top posts. I also loved the Blue Heaven post as those dishes were my Mom's good dishes in my growing up years. And I always love seeing Juliet dressed up! I enjoys All of your posts even if it is not something I would necessarily try myself; you have helped my learn to see outside the box; thank you!
ReplyDeleteGreat posts, Cecilia--I think are you blooming dress form and herb drying rack. Both are so inspiring! Happy New Year :)
ReplyDeleteLoving those Blue Heaven dishes! They would compliment my taylor smith taylor boutonniere collection - will have to look those up! Also love the heart wreath - I'm gearing up for Valentine's Day decor so will be remembering that! Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteIt's fun to look back, Cecilia! That dress still takes my breath away. I feel warm just looking at it right now! Happy New Year!
