No Place Like Home


Having a place to go - is a home.
Having someone love you - is a family.
Having both is a blessing. ~ Donna Hedges



Welcome to No Place Like Home and welcome the lovely month of May! This is one of our busiest months of the year with three birthdays, two anniversaries, and Mother's Day. Lots of celebrations going on.

The other day I posted a recipe for Overnight Chicken. It is delicious and wonderful for a large gathering.


I also shared my new teapot with you. 



If you missed this post just click here.

Last week's party served up a wonderful variety of ideas, crafts and recipes. They were all marvellous and thank you so much for sharing. You are a wonderfully talented group of ladies and I am honoured to have you join me! 

These are my features from last week's party:

Penny @ Penny's Vintage Home shared the lovely touches she added to her green house. 


Christine @ Christine's Home and Travel Adventures shared her wonderful tablescape in celebration of her daughter's birthday.

Emily @ The French Hutch shared a gorgeous tea in the rose garden.

Rebeca @ Lincluden Cottage Life shared her beautiful kitchen with some Spring updates.

Elizabeth @ The Daisy Fields shared her sewing skills including the pretty Bible cover which she made.


Thank you ladies for participating last week. As a courtesy, and if you would like to be featured, you should have a link back to my party. 

Now let's see what you are creating in your home 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,
    Oh your new teapot is just darling. It matches beautifully with your Royal Albert teacup. I also love hydrangeas and found some artificial white ones that I can enjoy throughout the year. That chicken casserole looks delicious - thank you so much. I may substitute cream of chicken soup since some of the family don't like mushrooms. Thank you for hosting No Place Like Home. Have a Wonderful Week! Karen

  6. Hi sweet Sandi! The features are wonderful, as always. I forgot to mention on my comment on your previous post that I have never read any of Karen Kingsbury's books, but I did see two of the movies from her book, The Bridge, which I enjoyed very much.
    Thanks for hosting and enjoy your week!
