Pinterest Loving

Today I thought I would share a few of my favorite Pins from over at Pinterest.
I adore this entire space over at Patina White but what I love the most is that incredible lamp! Such a fabulous project.
I LOVE this idea! When you click on the pin it doesn't take you to the source but whomever thought of this was genius!
I dream of beautiful outdoor spaces such as this one!
I am in LOVE with this kitchen I pinned from The Enchanted Home! The Hubtser and I are in the process of figuring out how we want to update our kitchen to make it brighter. Those moldings at the top of the cabinets make me drool!
The boys and I could eat asparagus every day so I can't wait to try the Asparagus Gruyere Tart via Martha Stewart.

Hope everybody is having a great weekend!:)

Ol' Bessie Finds A Home

I just adore Ol' Bessie to pieces. As soon as I saw her I knew I HAD to have her. Once I got her though it took me awhile to figure out where I was going to display her. My original idea was in the top area of our hutch in the dining room. Then I decided she needed a job.

We live in Texas and what is better than a good old cow greeting ya when you walk in to a home!?

I think Ol' Bessie is liking her new home in our foyer. After the holidays she may end up in our dining room but for now we enjoy seeing her when we come home. 

Of course Max our GQ kitty had to get in on the picture taking action. In the mornings he hangs out here to tell the boys good bye on our way out the door to school. He will actually sit there till I get back and then he goes on about his day. His is such a sweetie. He is just now learning to stand up to his sister pup Miss Savannah. Oh my could she get him running. 

On another note look what I found at HomeGoods this week!! I fell in love instantly and they jumped right in my cart. I have been wanting some brown transfer wear plates fro a long time now and well I love bunnies so what is better than that? I purchased four of them and am hoping they will get a platter to match. 

If you are interested in some of your own here is the info. I tried hunting some down on the internet and all I found were some SUPER expensive ones on Ebay.

Treasure Hunt Thursday #77 & Highlights

Last weeks party was record setting!! We had 119 party goers and let me just say the inspiration was overwhelming. I am pretty sure I made it by to visit each and every link. If I missed you I apologize but I am pretty sure I got to each and every one who linked up. Because the party has been growing by leaps and bounds as a thank you on Tuesdays I will now be featuring the top three links with the most views! So far the response has been positive and you are saying this is what y'all want to see so anything to make the party more fun and inviting for y'all.

Now on to my personal top picks from last weeks party.

Sue over at Sullivan & Murphy caught my eye with this fabulous fall vignette. I love the old dominoes.
Kristin from Sophia's  shared her new craft room. Look at that vintage clock collection! I would never leave my craft room is it looked like this.
Kimberly from Serendipity Refined stopped me in my tracks with her amazing Halloween mantle and hearth. Truly one of a kind.
Angela from Number Fifty-Three shared her out of this world dining room. I love the candle stick display on the buffet but what first caught my eye is her book page wall! I just love it.

Last but not least I could not resist this jack o' lantern table scape that Marty from over at A Stroll Thru Life shared with us. It just makes me smile.

As always thank you to all who partied last week! I am so truly honored to have such talent partying at my place! If you were featured please feel free to grab the "I've Been Featured" button!:) I have the newly updated button with html code on my sidebar! 

 What would be a HUGE help and encourage more comments not just from me but others as well would be for everybody to take off their required verification codes for leaving a comment. This seems to take just a few seconds of time but when you have to do it on 30 or more blogs it takes up a TON of time. Last week most everybody had turned off their Word Verification which made it so much easier for me to stop by everybody's links! Thank you!

READ THE RULES PLEASE!:)
Now on to this weeks party! 
As with all parties there are the normal rules. You must link back to From My Front Porch To Yours in your THT POST. Just common courtesy. If ya don't link back ya don't get to party. Only link up to your Treasure Hunt Thursday post and NOT your blog homepage. Please No advertising and PLEASE NO MORE than 3 links from the SAME party goer. Also NO MORE linking up to your own link parties. I am seeing more and more link ups of just people promoting their own linky parties. I know it takes time to go back and make a separate post to join the party but it is just the polite thing to do. If you find your post deleted it is not because I am a meany, I just have to make sure the rules are being followed. You can save some of your posts for the following weeks party!Please only link up new posts and not posts that you linked up the week before.

Also be sure to visit at least the link before you and after you to just say Hi! It makes partying all the more fun and remember if your link has had the most visits you will get featured on Tuesdays! If you are new around here I would love it if ya become a follower!:)
