No Place Like Home # 16

Home is the nicest place there is. ~ Laura Ingalls Wilder



Welcome my lovely friends to another No Place Like Home!

Over the weekend, I shared with you a few photos of winter here on our Island. You may visit that post here.


Brackley Beach 


A little fox right outside our door.

And a simple tea time.



I also showed you Scarlett, my new helper in the kitchen. You may visit that post here.



Last week's party served up a cornucopia of ideas and recipes. They were all marvellous and thank you so much for sharing. You are a wonderfully talented group of ladies!

I have broken my features down into categories and I hope you enjoy them!

Home Decor-
Penny @ Penny's Vintage Home shared her fanciful Spring and Easter decor with a darling horse and bunnies.


Thrifting -
Janice @ Curtains in My Tree shared her fabulous collection of Flamingo plates as well as some Rose Chintz which is near and dear to my heart.



Tea Time -
Trish @ Sweetology shared her beautiful Paris Tea Party. She is very creative in her baking and aren't these gorgeous!



Betty @ My Cozy Corner shared a very cute winter white tea using knitted tea cozies and fun cupcakes.



And Terri @ Artful Affirmations shared a beautiful array of teacups and lovely poetry.




Tablescapes -
Christine @ Christine's Home and Travel Adventures  shared her lovely Valentine's Day table setting. Love her Lladro dancing couple as the centrepiece!



Recipes -
Kitty @ Kitty's Kozy Kitchen shared a wonderful Lasagna soup. Yum! Love her teacup too!



Julie @ Julie's Lifestyle shared a delicious recipe for eggplant pizza. 



And for dessert, Mrs. T. @ Across My Kitchen Table shared her husband's Prize Winning Peanut Butter dessert. Mmm!



Gardening -
Valorie @ Cottage Making Mommy shared how you can grow your own salad bar in flower pots. This a great idea for small spaces.



Congratulations ladies and thank you to everyone for participating!

Now, let's see what you are creating in your home and garden to make it a cozy place to come home to for your family, your friends, and yourself.

Lord, this humble house we'd keep 
Sweet with play and calm with sleep. 
Help us so that we may give 
Beauty to the lives we live. 
Let Thy love and let Thy grace 
Shine upon our dwelling place. - Edgar A. Guest

  5. Hi Sandi, beautiful pictures of the beach and of the little fox. I just went back and read the post about your new mixer. I've been feeling like it's too late to get one now that my children are grown, but your comments and some of your readers have me re-thinking it. If I did get one, I'd get the red, too. Such a cheerful color!
    Thank you for hosting, and have a wonderful week! Blessings, Deborah

  13. Hi Sandi, I am not wishing any more winter on you. We have had a few warm days 50-60. Then it goes back down to 40 or 30. So it is teasing us with spring. It will be here soon! Love the knitted teacozy!

  18. Hi Sandi,
    I love your winter pics and features. So much snow out your way. Wow! I think the two teacups I am featuring are two of your favourites too. Your simple tea time setting is lovely with the red cardinal birds. So very pretty! Thank you for hosting Dear Sandi! Blessings, Karen

  19. Hi Sandi, love the sweet little fox! Our snow is finally starting to melt and the voles have cause havoc in our back yard. UGH! It really looks awful. Never had a problem before. Long cold winter I guess. The features are great. Thanks for having us over!
    hugs,
    Jann
