Shabbilicious Friday link party ~ June 29th

Hello shabbilicious friends. . . here we are again!

It’s party day. . . yay.

Have I told you that I love when you all pop around and hang out here for a bit? Well, I certainly do and I totally appreciate all of you sharing your projects, recipes and room and furniture make-over’s. I’m so thrilled that you continue to spread the news with link backs and buttons. . . our little shabbilicious Friday group is growing each week and so too are those linky clicks.

Being a niche market I never expected the party to be all that big. . . to be honest, I really just hoped for at least a handful of party linkers so I wasn’t the only one playing along each week. . . because that would have been embarrassing. But here you all are. . . lots of you, playing along and far surpassing my expectation. . . and the best part, well we get to share all that is gorgeously. . .

Shabby, French and Vintage.

I adore all this creative inspiration and every week it gets harder and harder to pick my favourites. . . I simply love it all.

Did you happen to see Donna’s amazing ‘Countess’ chalkboard transformation over at

Distressed Donna Down Home

. . . there’s another ‘YAY’ for chalk paint!!

And what about that beaded sap bucket by Rosemary at Villabarnes.

Rosemary has such fabulous creative ideas that are easy to do, yet are so effective.

I’ve put a coffee bar on my ‘To Do’ list after seeing Yvonne’s from Stone Gable

Yep. . . this is so ‘ME’ and is even in my favourite colours!!

I couldn’t do a list of favourites without mentioning one of my favourite blogs ~ French Country Cottage. Courtney’s blog is always so gloriously French, shabby and vintage. This week she linked up her beautiful ‘blingy’ chandeliers. . .

[sigh]. . . I have serious chandelier envy and what about that room sized chalkboard!!
